饮 徒 歌 伴 今 何 在?
雨 散 云 飞 尽 不 回。
从 此 香 山 风 月 夜
只 应 长 是 一 身 来。

Wu Nian Qiu Bing Hou Du Su Xiang Shan Si San Jue Ju

Yin tu ge ban jin he zai?
Yu san yun fei jin bu hui.
Cong ci xiang shan feng yue ye
Zhi ying chang shi yi shen lai.

Friends singing drinking songs, where are you now?
Scattered rain, flying clouds cannot return.
For now Mt. Xiang still has windy and moonlit evenings
Being by myself for a long time, one’s life too alone.
