Drinking Songs


Drinking with a Hermit in the Mountain

Li Bai

Among mountain flowers blossom, the two of us drink together

One cup after another, over and over and over.

Now I’m drunk and feel sleepy, my friend you better go -

And tomorrow come back if you wish, bring your lute with you!

《山中与幽人对酌》

李白

两人对酌山花开,

一杯一杯复一杯。

我醉欲眠卿且去,

明朝有意抱琴来。

A DRINKING SONG

W.B. Yeats

Wine comes in at the mouth

And love comes in at the eye;

That’s all we shall know for truth

Before we grow old and die.

I lift the glass to my mouth,

I look at you, and I sigh.

饮酒歌

翻译:张和清

琼浆玉液满口香,

爱情来临秋波漾。

人生光阴易消逝,

世间真谛知如此。

举杯畅饮须尽欢,

一番凝视一声叹。

AT NIGHT WE FALL INTO EACH OTHER

Mevlana Jelaluddin Rumi

English version by Coleman Barks

At night we fall into each other with such grace.

When it’s light, you throw me back

like you do your hair.

Your eyes now drunk with God,

mine with looking at you,

one drunkard takes care of another.

深夜里我们曾彼此恩爱怜惜

天亮时你把我如断发般抛弃

与其让你在醉眼中寻求神药

何不要酒醉的你我互相照料
