“Red”
by unknown Chinese poet
Translated from Chinese to English
***
Lunar New Years has come.
And each household is bustling.
Red couplet pasting and firecracker spluttering,
Every family hurries to make dumplings.
Brothers and sisters,
Put on new red clothes and gift red envelops.
The red lion dances.
Good fortune and prosperity abound.
