My body is a leaflike boat,
身如一叶舟，
And like the tide all events flow.
万事从头起。
I let my boat on the rising tide float;
水长船高一任伊，
So on the waves I come and go.
来往洪涛里。
The tide may fall and rise again;
潮落又潮生，
As of old will things stop and start.
今古长如此。
Next time when I drink alone, the moon will not wane,
后夜开尊独酌时，
But we’re a thousand miles apart.
月满人千里。
