The leaves are so fresh with dew
The musicians pluck their harps
The birds take over with their chirps
As if announcing that the year is new
Mother is excited,
Her little boy will join school
Little boy is excited,
His new uniform is very cool
Father is excited,
His daughter’s got a job opportunity
Daughter is excited,
She will now be shifting to the city
Blacksmith is excited,
The farmer will buy his smelt fork
Farmer is excited,
His new cart will transport the pork
The villagers attend the chief’s meeting
To pick calendars from the government
Every January this is the year’s first event
Announcing the start of a new beginning
