头一回剪你头发The first time we cut your hair剪刀又小声又轻The scissors small and very quiet一小撮放在红纸One small lock laid on red paper写上日子和姓名The date and the name written on it奶奶说这要留着Grandma says this must be kept留给将来的你听Kept for the you who comes later你在椅子上乱动You wriggle about in the chair不知道大家在等Not knowing everyone is waiting妈妈捏着你的手Mama is holding your hand爸爸站着不出声Papa stands there saying nothing房间里安静得很The room is extremely quiet只有剪刀在轻轻Only the scissors moving softly沐宸今天头一遭Muchen today is the first time一撮头发收得好One lock of hair put safely away沐宸今天头一遭Muchen today is the first time这个日子记得牢This day is firmly remembered将来你会长很高One day you will be very tall头发剪过千百遭Your hair cut a thousand times再没有人特意收Nobody will save it on purpose可这一撮还在包But this lock is still in its wrapper红纸打开还带着Open the red paper and it still carries你第一年的味道The smell of your first year沐宸今天头一遭Muchen today is the first time一撮头发收得好One lock of hair put safely away沐宸今天头一遭Muchen today is the first time这个日子记得牢This day is firmly remembered

Where the name comes from

Muchen (沐宸) pairs 沐 (mu), which can mean 'to bathe' or, more figuratively, 'to be graced by,' with 宸 (chen), an older, elevated word for the imperial palace or the heavens - together often read with a sense of being blessed from above, a popular choice in contemporary Mandarin naming.

Why this moment matters

Keeping a single lock of hair from a first haircut is such a small gesture, and it's one of the few physical keepsakes of a baby that lasts.

The story behind this song

A single lock of hair is set carefully aside at his first haircut ceremony, kept as the smallest possible keepsake.

A song for the first month

For the one-month celebration and the first haircut that often comes with it: a song to mark the end of the first month.
