First month Here comes the first lunar month,

the sound of gongs, drums, suona and firecrackers

Colorful people are rejoicing,

twirling Yangko to welcome the new year.

Hey, hey, hey,

Turn up the Yangko to welcome the New Year

The spring breeze blows on the loess land,

The Yangko in northern Shaanxi is noisy Turned red

The streets and alleys were crowded with people

It was like Jilong welcoming the spring breeze

Hey, hey, hey,

Just Like Jilong welcoming the spring breeze.
