Wake up the Nian

Gu doi ye cheen
Back Long Ago
back in herng ha
Back before flow


There slept a great monster
A hungry demon
He awoke to destroy
When he woke all was eaten

Wake up the Nian!
Qi lai Qilai
Wake up the Nian! Qi Lai Gi Lai Gi Lai

It was every year
That this monster called Nian
Came to the village
He was hungry and mean

But in reality he kept
Humanity in check
Every time we got too big
Nian made sure we were wrecked.

(Chorus)
