Li Bai: At A Tavern Filled By Wind-Blown Willow Fragrance Fine, 李白 風吹柳花滿店香，吳姬壓酒勸客嚐。 Poem by Frank Yue

JIN LING JIU LIU BIE (Parting at A Jinling Tavern)
-- Li Bai (701--762)
-- Translated by Frank C Yue

At a tavern filled by wind-blown willow fragrance fine,
A southern maiden asks guests to taste newly-pressed wine.
To wish me good-bye, my young Jinling friends come in train;
I have to leave but stay for all to have the cups drain'd.
O, Please ask the never-ceasing east-flowing river --
Whose parting woes, yours or mine, will stay longer ever!


【金陵酒肆留别】 唐 • 李白


風吹柳花滿店香， 风吹柳花满店香，

吳姬壓酒喚(勸) 客嚐。 吴姬压酒唤(劝) 客尝。

金陵子弟來相送， 金陵子弟来相送，

欲行不行各盡觴。 欲行不行各尽觞。

請君試問東流水， 请君试问东流水，

别意與之誰短長。 别意与之谁短长。
