I HOPE...
Again and again, a new year is approaching, like a sharp knife, Which is cutting one mare year, from our limited life. Well, it is not important if you know the value of the years passing, If you have the compensation of the worths, you're losing.
Don't wait anymore, go and give presents to the people you know, Can't you, then you have you smile, that's price is low. If you make even one face smile upon this earth, That's enough, it is time to sing like a happy bird.
Look, you're getting one more age elder, aren't you, Perhaps you sometimes made people unhappy, as everybody do. Why are you waiting then, why don't you apologise, Is there another such a special day, important to emphasize.
I hope you'll always be as healthy as a stone, You'll always be encouraged by a friend not to stop, to go on. I hope great god will save you from all the badness, You'll never stay without one thing, that's your happiness.
Happy years to the people that know how to live!!!
