To The Tune of He Chong Tian (Crane Soaring to Sky)
Liu Yong (984-1053 AD)
That winning list written in gold color of the imperial examination,
I accidentally failed to hit.
A worthy lost in the time of a wise ruler,
To which direction I have to go.
Didn't ride the crest of success,
How about to indulge myself in having fun.
Why should I argue for the gain or lose?
A gifted scholar and Ci poet,
I am a minister without the official gown.
In alleys there are houses for fun,
The dim boudoirs hidden behind the painting screen.
Luckily there is a lady of my heart,
That is worth me looking for and visiting.
Lying in the arms of women wearing in red or green,
Love affairs, are the joy of life.
The prime of youth is just a moment to pass me by.
To the vain fame,
I prefer a sip of fine wine and a whispering song.
