May this New Year, by the Christmas tree,
Bring a horse that comes to you,
With tangerines and nuts so free,
Dried apricots and honey's golden hue.

May it bring you luck that's sure and fast,
A heap of bright and warmly sunlit days,
A pack of vivid memories to last,
And loyal friends with kind and loving ways.

And in exchange, into its little cart,
Let all your sorrow, all your sadness go.
Each mocking word and every envious dart —
Far, far away, let horse and wagon tow.

All illnesses and troubles, every slight,
The gloom of dull and miserable gray days —
Away from you, into the winter's night,
The horse shall take them, speeding on its ways.

Wishing you great success!
Happy New Year!
