Happy the New Year

Turning around and around            
The earth, the moon, and the sun            
The tree rings, the skin wrinkles,            
That's how it turns into a cycle           

Keeping an eye on them            
Here, there and everywhere            
Appear and disappear, 
That's how it turns into them
         
The figures, the voices, the faces          
The fresh, the old or the familiar traces
The worries and smiles come and go            
That's how it turns into flesh and soul           

Like a river, like a stream,            
As always, never dried up            
Life is still needing for fame
And as always, be still tough
That's how it turns into a life

Summer, autumn, winter, spring 
Eyes are following the colors            
And hearts feel the wind and rain            
That's how it turns into years

Light of lives is never extinct            
And life must be filled with:
New attempts and new fortune            
That's how life is going to be

We are happy with a new year            
For our passions,              
      our chances,            
and our dreams,            
Happy the whole year!
