Who abandoned leisure for a long time? Every spring comes, melancholy remains. I often get sick before spending every day, but I don't care if I look thin in the mirror.
Why do willows on the green and black embankment by the river worry about new things every year? The independent bridge is full of sleeves, and Lin Ping returns to the new moon. [ 1]

[Edit this paragraph] Translation
Who says leisure has been forgotten for too long? Every new year, my melancholy mood is the same as before. In order to get rid of this kind of leisure trouble, I spend every day, let myself get drunk, I will lose weight and look different in front of the mirror.
Grass grows on the river bank, and willow trees shade it. Seeing such a beautiful scenery, I think sadly, why do I add new sadness every year? I am alone at the bridge, and the breeze blows my sleeve. Only the distant rows of trees are shadowy in the dim moonlight, accompanying me. [2]
