Tip the hat to the year that bids us farewell,
In all the contrasting experiences we have had during it
here's December, the smallest Russian doll amongst the 12 of successively decreasing sizes
The great teacher time has taught us many different lessons this year
Time has no plan on retirement from this occupation
And for all years to come we shall remain its students
An encore we'd shout
had the year been exceptionally favorable
As we put our hands together,
to the end of a spectacular year
We wave our hands to the departing year
This bitter-sweet goodbye
But we say thanks time and again for the parting gift
A suitcase full of great memories.
On the eve, as we see off the departing year and welcome the coming year with open arms
A word of advice
ill feelings are nothing but excess baggage for the trip ahead,
Cherish the souvenirs of your past travels
And make room for the souvenirs of the journey ahead
