Wash Silk in a Sandy Stream: No. 3
浣 溪 沙
雪 里 餐 毡 例 姓 苏
使 君 载 酒 为 回 车
天 寒 酒 色 转 头 无。
荐 士 已 闻 飞 鹗 表
报 恩 应 不 用 蛇 珠
醉 中 还 许 揽 桓 须。

Xue li can zhan li xing su
Shi jun zai jiu wei hui che
Tian han jiu se zhuan tou wu.
Jian shi yi wen fei e biao
Bao en ying bu yong she zhu
Zui zhong huan xu lan huan xu.
Wash Silk in a Sandy Stream: No. 3
Like another man named Su, living in melt-the-snow-for-water poverty
You come back to me again with a cart full of wine
Sky cold, warmth from wine dissipates.
I appreciate your letter to the emperor recommending my release from here
Like an osprey in flight I cannot adequately repay you for this kindness
Being a drunk, I can only thank you for your help.
