李白 暮從碧山下﹐山月隨人歸。Softly down the emerald mountains Evening roam'd; Rising from the mountains the Moon followed us home.

【下終南山過斛斯山人宿置酒】 唐 • 李白

暮從碧山下﹐  山月隨人歸。

卻顧所來徑﹐  蒼蒼橫翠微。

相攜及田家﹐  童稚開荊扉。

綠竹入幽徑﹐  青蘿拂行衣。

歡言得所憩﹐  美酒聊共揮。

長歌吟松風﹐  曲盡河星稀。

我醉君復樂﹐  陶然共忘機。

("Doww Zhongnan Mountains: Staying Overnight and Drinking at Hermit Husi's Cottage")

-- by LI BAI (701-762)

-- Translated by Frank C Yue

Softly down the emerald mountains Evening roam'd;            

Rising from the mountains the Moon followed us home.                 
Looking back at the winding path we came, it seem'd            
Like a jade ribbon on the hills aquamarine.                                     
My friend and I walked to his farmhouse, hand in hand.                 
Children opened the thatch door (and 'round us did stand).  
Strolling on the bamboo-lined verdant trail serene,                         
My clothes brushed light on both sides the vibrant vines green.      

Rested, we talked -- lost in each other's company;                           

Bottles of fine wine warmed the glowing harmony.                         
We sang, chorus'd by the rustling wind and pine wave,                            
Till no more were songs and stars in the Milky Way.                      
I 'm drunk and you are amused again, and again!                                     
Forgetting all cares, for what more can we ask then?
