Grind the inkstone full its fragrance fills the air
Unroll the crimson paper with care beyond compare
The left line wishes peace the right line prosperity
Across the top four characters: family harmony
Red spring couplets red spring couplets hanging on the door
Every character is love every line we're hoping for
Red spring couplets red spring couplets glowing in the light
All the hopes for a good year shining warm and bright
(Interlude: Melodic harmonica solo)
Dad holds the ladder steady I hand him the tape
Mom steps back and watches making sure the lines are straight
Put them up with precision so blessings won't be late
A lucky fiery start to determine the new year's fate
