English Rendering
A glazed cup full of amber wine,
The strong drink drips like red pearls fine.
The dragon boiled and phoenix roasted would weep;
The fragrant breeze blows into broidered curtains deep.
The dragon flute is played;Beaten the drums covered with alligator's skin.
The songstress sings with teeth as bright as jade,
And dancers dance with waist as slender as hairpin.
The prime of your life like the sun on the decline,
Peach blossoms fall pell-mell like rain of petals pink.
So I advise you to get drunk with wine.
When buried in the grave, what could you take to drink?
