清平调–李白(701762)
云想衣裳花想容，春风拂槛露华浓。
若非群玉山头见，会向瑶台月下逢。
PURE SERENE MUSIC
Li Bai (701762)
From the clouds you think of her dresses,
from the flowers her face;
A spring breeze caresses the rail,
pearls of dew roll with grace.
If not seen atop the Jade Mountain1,
You would meet her
under the moon in the Jade Terrace2.

月下独酌 – 李白(701762)
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 (701762)
With a jug of wine among flowers,
Alone I drink,
unaccompanied by anyone I know.
I raise my cup to invite the bright moon:
Including my shadow, a party of three I throw.
The moon knows not the pleasure of drinking;
My shadow vainly follows me wherever I go.
The moon and shadow
are for now my companions:
Let’s enjoy life while our young hearts glow.
As I sing, the moon lingers around;
As I dance, my shadow moves in disarray.
When I’m sober, together we make merry;
When I’m drunk, separate we stay.
Let’s pledge forever to be
passionless roaming partners,
To meet again in the faraway Milky Way.
