Āi hāi yō, āi hāi yō, āi hāi yō hāi yō

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!
