Description: PINK MARTINI is back on TOUR starting in Summer 2021! Check the link below to see if we're coming to a location near you! pinkmartini.com/shows Excerpted from Pink Martini's virtual 2020 New Year's Eve concert, filmed at Pink Martini World Headquarters in Portland, Oregon, and broadcast on December 31, 2020. "Gong xi (Congratulations)" is the band's first song in Mandarin, and is a song celebrating Chinese New Year. It was first heard on Pink Martini's holiday album, "Joy to the World," and features a duet with vocalists China Forbes and Timothy Nishimoto, with guitar accompaniment by Dan Faehnle. The song was written by Chen Gexin. English translation of the lyrics: On every avenue and in every lane On every person’s lips The first thing people say when they see you is “Congratulations, congratulations congratulations, congratulations to you!” Winter has reached its last, This is really good news A warm spring wind is about to revive the land “Congratulations, congratulations Congratulations, congratulations to you!” The silvery ice will melt away We’ll watch the plum trees blossom When this endless night is over We’ll hear the rooster’s crow usher in the dawn “Congratulations, congratulations Congratulations, congratulations to you!” We’ve been through so much hardship We’ve endured so many struggles So many hearts have been longing Longing for news of spring “Congratulations, congratulations Congratulations, congratulations to you!” FIND PINK MARTINI ONLINE: Patreon Fan Club: patreon.com/pinkmartini Instagram: instagram.com/pinkmartini Facebook: facebook.com/pinkmartini Twitter: twitter.com/PinkMartiniBand Spotify: bit.ly/spotifyPM Apple Music: bit.ly/pinkMartini SoundCloud: soundcloud.com/heinzrecords bandcamp: pinkmartini.bandcamp.com Website: pinkmartini.com Online Store: store.pinkmartini.com #PinkMartini #Gongxi #ChineseNewYear #Congratulations #ChinaForbes #TimothyNishimoto #DanFaehnle #Holiday
