CNY Songs 2018 (lyrics with translation)

Dear girls, here are the lyrics and translation!

I hope this helps those among us who are not familiar with Chinese.

Please also note that the lyrics were translated 'loosely', as it would really sound awkward if I'm to translate the lyrics literally! 

Have fun singing, and be prepared for the coming celebration!
~ Ms Lin YY~

Spring is here and all flowers blossom Attracting butterflies and bees Green is the willow on the shore (When the) Spring blossoms bloom all at once Oh! The spring blossoms bloom all at once Spring is here and the scenery’s great The lakes and mountains look wonderful The boatmen are getting busy Let’s rock the boats! Oh! Let’s rock the boats! Spring is here and little birds are so excited They sing among flowers and in the trees In pairs they fly around everywhere Singing the new year song together Oh! Singing the new year song together
