As the crimson hues of dawn arise,
And the gentle moonlight dies,
We welcome in the Chinese New Year,
With open hearts and ears to hear.

The rabbit, symbol of grace and peace,
Guides us through the trials and release.
A year of harmony and balance sought,
As we lay down our burdens and retort.

Red envelopes filled with gold,
Given with love, both young and old.
Feasts and fireworks, laughter and cheer,
Chinese New Year, a time to hold dear.

Families gather, friends unite,
In celebration, all feels right.
Let us raise a glass and make a toast,
To the Year of the Rabbit, and all it will boast.

So let us embrace the new,
And let go of the old,
Chinese New Year is here,
Our stories yet to be told.
