  • Artist Info: Wine before us, sing a song.<br />
    How long does life last?<br />
    It is like the morning dew;<br />
    Sad so many days have passed.<br />
    <br />
    Sing hey, sing ho!<br />
    Deep within my heart I pine.<br />
    Nothing can dispel my woe,<br />
    Save Du Kang, the god of wine.<br />
    <br />
    Blue, blue the scholar's robe;<br />
    Long, long for him I ache. <br />
    Preoccupied with you, my lord;<br />
    Heavy thoughts for your sake.<br />
    <br />
    To each other cry the deer,<br />
    Nibbling grass upon the plain.<br />
    When a good friend visits me,<br />
    We'll play the lyre once again. <br />
    <br />
    In the sky, the moon is bright;<br />
    Yet I can reach it never.<br />
    In my heart such sorrow dwells,<br />
    Remaining with me ever.<br />
    <br />
    In the fields, our paths crossed;<br />
    Your visit was so kind.<br />
    Together after our long parting,<br />
    Your favours come to mind.<br />
    <br />
    Clear the moon, few the stars;<br />
    The crows in southward flight.<br />
    Circling three times round the tree,<br />
    No branch where to alight.<br />
    <br />
    What if the mountain is high,<br />
    Or how deep the sea?<br />
    When the Duke of Zhou greeted a guest,<br />
    In his service all wished to be.
