bào zhú shēng zhōng yí suì chú
爆竹声中一岁除，
The New Year is coming amid the sound of a firecracker,
chūn fēng sòng nuǎn rù tú sū
春风送暖入屠苏。
The spring breeze has wafted the warm breath with Tusu wine.
qiān mén wàn hù tóng tóng rì
千门万户瞳瞳日，
While the rising sun shines in thousands of houses,
zǒng bǎ xīn táo huàn jiù fú
总把新桃换旧符。
New peach wood charms replace the old ones
