Lyrics – Transliteration
Ai hai yo, ai hai yo, ai hai yo hai yo.
Wen he tai yan dao ta di,
Xin nian an yi jing dao
Jing jia xin fu nong tian hao shou chung.
Translation
The warm sun shines on earth
Already arrive
Every family happy
Next year 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!
