Lantern Day Drop Anchor at Zhachuan
元 夕 泊 舟 霅 川
莲 炬 光 中 月 自 圆
人 情 草 草 竞 华 年。
最 怜 一 夜 旗 亭 鼓
能 共 钟 声 到 客 船。
Yuan Xi Bo Zhou Zha Chuan
Lian ju guang zhon yue zi yuan
Ren qing cao cao jing hua nian.
Zui lian yi ye qi ting gu
Neng gong zhong shen diao ke chuan.
Lantern Day Drop Anchor at Zhachuan
Mid-month full moon, reflected light a lotus flame
Human experience to have alternating years of prosperity
Affection for this evening of pavilions with banners and drum play
Including bell sounds and the visiting boats.
