Lyrics – Transliteration
Āi hāi yō, āi hāi yō, āi hāi yō hāi yō
Wēnhé tàiyáng zhào dàdì,
Xīnnián yǐjīng dào,
Jiā jiā xìngfú,
Míngnián hǎo shōuchéng
Translation – Ai hay yo
Ai hai yo (exclamation of pleasure)
The warm sun shines on earth
The new year has arrived,
May every household be happy
May next year have a good harvest

I need to have some students perform a Chinese song at an upcoming performance. Did you write the orff arrangement? If so, can you send it to me.
The Orff arrangement is in this book: Sing ‘Round the World Vol. 2 by Shirley W. McRae. Good luck!
Hello, I am Chinese and studying in the United States. I am trying to find the Chinese version of this song. Could you mind send me the Chinese score of this song? Thanks so much! Lyla
