In the sound of firecrackers, a year passes away,

chūn fēng sòng nuǎn rù tú sū
春 风 送 暖 入 屠 苏 。
Spring breeze brings warmth into Tu Su wine.

qiān mén wàn hù tóng tóng rì
千 门 万 户 曈 曈 日 ,
Thousands of doors and tens of thousands of households see the dawn of the day,

zǒng bǎ xīn táo huàn jiù fú
总 把 新 桃 换 旧 符 。
Always replacing the old peach talismans with new ones.
