Di Lisi's English Version of Li Bai

Lipper

Drink with the moon

A pot of wine from the flowers, I drink it alone. No one is with me;

Raise my cup, I invite the bright moon, which brings me its shadow and makes us three people.

Alas, the moon cannot drink water, and my shadow follows me blankly; ;

I have to mingle with them and enjoy the happiness of spring.

I sang. The moon encourages me and I dance. My shadow is rolling behind;

Wake up and be happy together, and disperse after drunkenness.

I am willing to stay with them forever and forget the harm of friendship, just like the Milky Way.

Drink with the moon

A pot of wine from the flowers

I drink alone. No one is with me—

Until, holding up my cup, I asked the moon.

Bring me my shadow and let's be three people.

Alas, the moon can't drink water.

My shadow followed me blankly;

But there was a time when I had these friends.

Let me rejoice at the end of spring ...

I sang. The moon encouraged me.

I danced. My shadow is rolling in the back.

As far as I know, we are good partners.

Then I got drunk and we lost each other.

..... Will goodwill be guaranteed?

I watched the long road of the Milky Way.
