将进酒

Let’s Go for Another Toast

李白

Poem by: Li Bai

翻译：凉快的小空调

Translation by: 凉快的小空调

君不见，黄河之水天上来，

Has the water in the Yellow River, by you, ever noticed?

奔流到海不复回。

It seems to flow from the heavens and right into the sea!

君不见，高堂明镜悲白发，

Has your white hair in the mirror, by you, ever pitied?

朝如青丝暮成雪。

It seems to turn from black silk into white snow in one day only!

人生得意须尽欢，

Everyone in their palmy days deserves a revelry;

莫使金樽空对月。

never shall you toast your success to the moon only!

天生我材必有用，

None of us is born to be nobody;

千金散尽还复来。

all the money given out will pay off eventually.

烹羊宰牛且为乐，

On the lamb and the beef, let us just feast;

会须一饮三百杯。

none of us shall leave until the last cask gets emptied.

岑夫子，丹丘生，

Cen and Yuan, my dearest buddies!

将进酒，杯莫停。

Let’s go for another toast and keep on our party!

与君歌一曲，

Now please listen to me,

请君为我倾耳听。

here’s a rhyme for ye:

钟鼓馔玉不足贵，

Instead of an affluent life which I’d never cherish,

但愿长醉不愿醒。

I'd rather live in those dreams boozy but cozy. 

古来圣贤皆寂寞，

Most of the sage names in time waned with ages;

惟有饮者留其名。

yet the drinkers managed to leave their names in history.

陈王昔时宴平乐，

Duke of Ping Le used to host his banquets,

斗酒十千恣欢谑。

during which ton’s of wine, to the fun, were added.

主人何为言少钱，

Hosts like me never shrink from lack of money;

径须沽取对君酌。

to drink with ye, I’m willing to sell all my property.

五花马，千金裘，

My horse of noble breed, my mink coat of luxury,

呼儿将出换美酒，

for mellow wine, let’s just barter them each,

与尔同销万古愁。

to dispel all those laments, since ages ago, existed.
