Celebrating New Year

We eat…
Not ‘cos there is plenty of food 

We drink…
Not ‘cos the enemies had fallen

We dance…
Not ‘cos we won the sacred war 

            ….But simply….

                                       We eat…
Just for the passing of the year
	
                                    We drink… 
Just for another year will come

                                  We dance…
Just for welcoming a New Year

             …..You see…

There’s nothing more, nothing less
The whole world, still, without rest

            …..Come now…

It is New Year, let’s have some fun
Just do not come with a loaded gun
