Tang 006:
Under the Moon, Drinking Alone Li Bai Translated by Kalany․

  1. Among the flowers, a whole pot of wine to myself, | Copyright Kalany 2024

    I drink alone without friends or family․ | Originally hosted on kalany.org

  2. With a toast, I seek the moonlight, | For reprint and reproduction licensing

    And together we make a shadow as our third․ | contact Kalany via email: translation

  3. The moon doesn't know how to drink․ | at kalany.org

    My shadow only follows me․

  4. My temporary companions, the moon invites my shadow,

    And for a little while I'm happy like I'm young again․

  5. My song makes the moon waver,

    My dance makes my shadow stutter․

  6. We lie in bed together like lovers,

    Growing sober, to go our separate ways after․

  7. Always bound, they will follow uncaring,

    And meet me under the Milky Way․
