If you literally translate "Gong Xi Fa Chai", it would mean "wishing you enlarge your wealth."

Gong Xi: means wishing/blessing

Fa: means enlarge(ment)

Chai: means wealth

So a literal translation is that you wish someone will become very rich, but the phrase is generally used as Happy New Year.
Gong Xi Fa Chai everyone!
