李白月下獨酌

李白 -- 月下獨酌

花間一壺酒，獨酌 無相親；舉杯邀明月，對影成三人。

月既不解飲， 影徒隨我身；暫伴月將影，行樂須及春。

我歌月徘徊， 我舞影零亂；醒時同交歡，醉後 各分散。

永結無情遊， 相期邈雲漢。

英文翻譯 / English Translation﹕

In amongst flowers with a bottle of wine

I drink alone for there is no one close by.

I raise my chalice to invite the shining moon,

The moon casts me a shadow and we have a triad.

The moon never learns to drink,

My shadow absent-mindedly follows me.

Nevertheless I have them around me,

Moments should be enjoyed as they be.

I sing and the moon lingers,

I dance and my shadow whirled under.

In my sober moments we rejoiced together,

It is a company no longer once I am drunk.

Such fellowship shall last despite our parted ways,

When we shall come together again is up to the remote heavens above.
