至 济 南 李 公 择 以 诗 相 迎， 次 其 韵： 二 首

夜 拥 笙 歌 霅 水 滨
回 头 乐 事 总 成 尘。
今 年 送 汝 作 太 守
到 处 逢 君 是 主 人。
聚 散 细 思 都 是 梦
身 名 渐 觉 两 非 亲。
相 从 继 烛 何 须 问
蝙 蝠 飞 时 日 正 晨。

Dao chu feng jun shi zhu ren.
Ju san xi si dou shi meng
Shen ming jian jue liang fei qin.
Xiang cong ji zhu he xu wen
Bian fu fei shi ri zheng chen.

Remember our time together, evening music and song at the riverbank
These happy times gone, gone back to dust.
This year you are here, being this city’s mayor
Everywhere we meet I am a guest, and you are the host.
Our coming together and departures are dreams come true
Even after being famous, my renown not really a part of me.
Together we light one candle after another
Until daybreak when the bats come home.
