Old man in old Luoyang
To Liu Yuxi
|
Bai Juyi 774-846
In length of days and soundness of limb
you and I are one;
Our eyes are not wholly blind
nor our ears quite deaf.
Deep drinking we lie together
fellows of a spring day;
Or gay-hearted boldly breaking
into gatherings of young men.
When, seeking flowers
we borrowed his horse
the Governor was vexed;
When
to play on the water
we stole his boat
the Duke of Qin was sore.
I hear it said that in Luoyang people are all shocked,
And call us by the name of 'Liu and Bai
those two mad old men'.

Nián yán lǎo shǎo yǔ jūn tóng,
Yǎn wèi quán hūn ěr wèi lóng.
Fàng zuì wò wéi chūn rì bàn,
Chèn huān xíng rù shào nián cóng.
Xún huā jiè mǎ fán Chuān shǒu,
Nòng shuǐ tōu chuán nǎo Lìnggōng.
Wén dào Luò chéng rén jìn guài,
Hū wéi Liú Bái èr kuáng wēng.
