Peaches and plums are fragrant, pear blossoms are smiling.

How can it be more noisy than the spring on my branches?

Shaoyao Yanna, Li Huaqiao.

How can you be more beautiful than me, Yurun Hongxing?

Yurunhong is charming.

A cup of fragrant tea to welcome you.

The stars are swaying and the clouds are fluttering.

Why is it thousands of miles away in the west? Why is it thousands of miles away in the west?

Happiness is today, joy is tonight,

Happiness is today, joy is tonight.
