At Sunset What Day Is It: Several Dance Steps
三 登 乐
今 夕 何 披 岫 幌
云 关 重 启。
引 冰 壶 素 空 似 洗。
卷 帘 中 欹 枕 上
月 星 浮 水。
天 镜 夜 明
半 窗 万 里。
盼 庭 柯 都 老
大 树 犹 如 此。
六 年 前 转 头 未 几
唤 邻 翁 来 诘 旧
同 篘 新 蚁。
秉 烛 夜 阑 又 疑 梦 里。
San Deng Yue
Jin xi he, pi xiu huang
Yun guan chong qi.
Yin bing hu su kong si xi.
Juan lian zhong qi zhen shang
Yue xing fu shui.
Tian jing ye ming
Ban chuang wan li.
Pan ting ke
Dou lao da shu you ru bi.
Liu nian qian, zhuan tou wei er.
Huan lin weng lai jie jiu
Tong chou xin yi.
Bing zhu ye lan you yi meng li.
At Sunset What Day Is It: Several Dance Steps
At sunset what day is it, heavy curtains pulled apart
Clouds also open and close.
Attractive ice crystals on my pot, nature bathes in this radiance.
Scrolled up curtains upon my pillows
Moon and stars float on the water.
From a half-opened window, sky holds the moonlight for a thousand miles
Hopeful for the old and large courtyard branches, just like me.
Turn my head around, six years have gone from here
Summon my old man neighbor, question him about the olden days.
New bamboo wine filter still leaves a few small grains of rice
Hold onto the late evening candle
I am also inside some uncertain dreams.
