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 Underneath a Moon

                                                         Li Bai

I brought a jug of wine among flowers,

Drinking alone, without my pals by my side.

I raised my cup and invited the moon,

Plus my shadow, we made a nice trio.

But the moon did not really drink,

And my shadow kept to the brink.

Still I decided we should carry on,

For ’tis spring–the season for merry-making.

As I sang, the moon loitered in its track;

As I danced, my shadow went all aquiver.

While still sober, we merrily make merry;

When drunk, we go our separate ways.

We shall continue on and on like this.

One day, we’ll play in the Celestial Palace.
