Happy Chinese New Year!

新年快樂!
恭喜發財!
Wishing everyone a wealthy, healthy, bountiful year of the Dragon!

You didn't think I would leave you without a bit of trivia now did you? 許冠傑 (Sam Hui) thought that Chinese New Year was missing a Holiday Song. Christmas has songs like Jingle Bells and Santa Claus Is Coming To Town but, where's the Holiday Song for Chinese New Year? So he wrote 財神到 in 1977. The late great Hong Kong song writer 黃霑 (James Wong) thought the same but that's a story for another post.

作曲: 許冠傑

財神到!財神到!好心得好報!
財神話!財神話!搵錢依正路!
財神到!財神到!好走快兩步,
得到佢睇起你,你有前途,
闔府慶新喜氣盈盈,齊賀你多福蔭壯健強勁,
又祝你今年慶獲榮陞,朝晚多多歡笑錦繡前程。

願夫婦恩愛體貼入微,成日有吉星照百事無忌,
共親友相見講話投機,充滿新春喜氣歡暢揚眉。

賀所有鴛侶花結並頭(結並頭),
還望各位工友百業成就(有成就),
大家冇爭鬥快樂無憂(樂無憂),
聽隻歌輕鬆,拋卻恨愁
