醉眠 – 杜牧

秋醪雨中熟，寒斋落叶中。

幽人本多睡，更酌一樽空。

Drunken Slumber by Du Mu

The rain hastens ripening autumn brew,

While leaves are falling around my cold hut.

As a recluse, I’d slumber sans ado,

O gulp another cup to glut my gut.

V2.

The rain hastens ripening autumn brew,

While leaves are falling around my cold hut.

As a recluse, I’d slumber sans ado,

Let alone another cup gluts my gut.

V3.

The rain ripens autumn brew in the pot,

While leaves are falling around my cold hut.

As a recluse, I’ll sleep more oft than not,

Let alone another cup gluts my gut.
