Cen Shen Poem: Drinking with Friends at Night in Liangzhou – 岑参《凉州馆中与诸判官夜集》

凉州[1][2]中与诸判官[3]夜集

岑参

弯弯月出挂城头,

城头月出照凉州。

凉州七里[4]十万家,

胡人半解[5]弹琵琶。

琵琶一曲肠堪断,

风萧萧兮夜漫漫。

河西幕[6]中多故人,

故人别来三五春。

花门楼[7]前见秋草,

岂能贫贱相看老。

一生大笑能几回,

斗酒相逢须醉倒。

注释:

Drinking with Friends at Night in Liangzhou

Cen Shen

The crescent moon rises and hangs on city wall;

The rising moon on city wall shines over all.

There’re a thousand homes in seven districts on frontier;

Half of the Tartars play pipa for us to hear.

The heart would be broken to hear the pipa song,

When the wind sheds leaves in showers and night is long.

West of the River I have so many compeers;

Many friends are separated from me for many years.

Before the flowery gate we see autumn grass.

Could we bear to see friends grow old like it? Alas!

How many times can we laugh in a life so fleet?

So let us drink our fill till drunken, now we meet!

this poem sings of friendship and wine-drinking.
