1. A pot of wine among the flowers, drinking alone without any blind date. Raise a glass to invite the bright moon, and make three people in the shadows. The moon doesn't know how to drink, and its shadow follows me. For now, the moon will be shadowed, and we must have fun until spring. My singing moon lingers, my dancing shadows are scattered. They make love together when they are awake, but they separate when they are drunk. We will travel together forever, and we will meet each other in Miao Yunhan.

Translation: Put a pot of fine wine among the flowers, and I pour it by myself, without any relatives or friends around me. Raise the cup to the sky, invite the bright moon, face my shadow, and we become three people. The bright moon cannot understand the joy of drinking and drinking, and its shadow can only silently follow me around. For the time being, I will accompany you with the shadow of the bright moon, and take advantage of this spring night to have fun in time.

I recite poems, the moon wanders with me, my hands and feet dance, and the shadows follow me. When I'm sober, I share joy with you, but when I'm drunk, we go our separate ways. I would like to form a friendship with them forever that will forget the pain, and meet by the misty Milky Way.

2. Who sits alone with a bright window? Two of them, my shadow. When the lamp is dying, the shadows also cast away people. None of that. None of that. I'm so scared.

Translation: Who can accompany me to sit alone by the window under the moon? Only my shadow stays with me. When the lights were turned off and I was getting ready to sleep, the shadow also abandoned me and ran away. Helpless, helpless! What a panicked me.

3. The emperor couldn't get on the ship when he called him, so he claimed that he was a wine-drinking immortal.

Interpretation: Put a pot of fine wine among the flowers, drink it by yourself, without friends or relatives. Raise a glass to invite the bright moon and become three people facing the figure. Of course Mingyue doesn't know how to drink, and her figure just follows me. I had no choice but to become drinking companions with them temporarily. If I want to have fun, I must seize the beautiful spring time.

When I sing, the bright moon lingers, and when I dance, my figure is scattered. We rejoice together when we are awake, but separate when we are drunk. I would like to form a friendship with them forever that will forget the pain, and meet by the misty Milky Way.

5. Walking by the stream taking shadows, the sky is at the bottom of the clear stream. There are moving clouds in the sky, and people are in the moving clouds. ?Who and I are singing loudly, and the voiceless sound rises in the empty valley. Neither ghost nor immortal, just a song of peach blossom water.

Vernacular interpretation: People walking by the stream reflect the figure in the stream, and the blue sky is reflected in the clear stream. There are floating white clouds in the blue sky, and people are walking in the floating white clouds. I sing loudly, who will respond? Just listen to the clear sound of the empty valley. The sound did not come from ghosts and gods, but from the sound of running water next to the peach blossoms.
