云龛子·《中吕·迎仙客·世事休》英译

世事休，

甚清幽，

无管无拘林下叟。

翠央前，

风月友。

狂歌醉舞，

料饮长生酒。

[Chung-lü] Tune: “Greeting the Immortal Guest” (Ying hsien-k’e)

Yün-k’an Tzu

Done with the world

and pure

as darkness

nothing to hold me

nothing restrain

the old guy here

within the grove

before blue cliffs

the wind, the moon’s companion

madly singing

drunk and dancing

smashed, polluted with the wine

of endless life
