Spring of 811, Express My Losses: No. 5
六 年 春 遣 怀
伴 客 销 愁 长 日 饮
偶 然 乘 兴 便 醺 醺。
怪 来 醒 后 傍 人 泣
醉 里 时 时 错 问 君。
Liu Nian Chun Qian Huai
Ban ke xiao chou chang ri yin
Ou ran sheng xing bian xun xun.
Guai lai xing hou bang ren qi
Zui li shi shi cuo wen jun.
Spring of 811, Express My Losses: No. 5
Companions and visitors arrive, long days full of drinking
Began a conversation with my wife, in a dream she cooperates.
Later sober up, find it strange that people nearby weep with tears
Inside my drunkenness, am I wrong to ask her questions.
Notes:
Her: Yuan’s deceased wife.
