After Getting Drunk, Send This As a Gift to Ma the Fourth

 

醉 后 赠 马 四
四 海 重 然 诺
吾 常 闻 白 眉。
秦 城 游 侠 客
相 得 半 酣 时。
Zui Hou Zeng Ma Si

Si hai zhong ran nuo
Wu chang wen bai mei.
Qin cheng you xia ke
Xiang de ban han shi.

 

After Getting Drunk, Send This As a Gift to Ma the Fourth

Throughout the whole world, a man most honorable and upright
I often hear of old “White Eyebrows”.
To the Qin city wall, you have traveled with your sword
Half drunk, we finally get together for these happy times.

 

Notes:

Qin:  Nation state (221-206 BC)
