月下独酌-Drinking Alone under the Moon
月下独酌
李白
花间一壶酒，独酌无相亲。
举杯邀明月，对影成三人。
月既不解饮，影徒随我身。
暂伴月将影，行乐须及春。
我歌月徘徊，我舞影零乱。
醒时同交欢，醉后各分散。
永结无情游，相期邈云汉。
Drinking Alone under the Moon
Li Bai
Admist flowering shrubs， with a pot of wine，
I drink to myself with no friends of mine.
I hold up my cup to accost the moon，
Which with me and my shadow makes three soon.
Nothing about drinking does the moon know；
My shadow follows me where’er I go.
With the moon and my shadow in company，
Before spring is o’er I must make merry.
While I’m singing， the moon sways to and fro；
While I’m dancing， my shadow tangles so.
In sobriety， we’re all happy at heart；
In drunkenness， we from each other part.
As sworn partners for a tour unearthly，
We’re bound in heaven at last to rally.
