A Drinking Song
Don’t chew the distiller’s aftertaste
When the glass is emptied in candlelight;
Don’t throw the goblet into the dark
When the stain of moon has not dried yet.
Even though the kick is too strong for you,
Drink every drop with grace and a smiling face;
This is a toast and needs a duet
Even though your eyes meet a new apparition.
Take it and let it run into your digestive system
Let it ice your taste buds, pituitary and sperm cyst;
You know this is poison and contains pigment
When you think of her eyes you have no regret.
They don’t toast with a glass of water
You should have known this, and “you know this, right?”

酒歌
当酒杯在烛光下空了，
不要回味酒糟的记忆；
当杯底的月色还没干燥，
不要将杯子抛进黑暗。
虽说这酒劲于你太烈，
微笑着优雅地喝干每一滴；
这是一次敬酒，需要对饮，
尽管对面的已经换了容颜。
接下它将它倾入你的肠胃，
刺激你的味蕾、脑垂与精囊；
你知道这是毒药还包含色素，
想到她的眼睛你便无怨无悔。
人们从不用一杯开水尽欢，
这你应该知道。告诉我，你知道！
