琴歌原文：

琴瑟在御，莫不静好。

钟鼓馔玉不足贵，但愿长醉不复醒。

古来圣贤皆寂寞，惟有饮者留其名。

陈王昔时宴平乐，斗酒十千恣欢谑。

主人何为言少钱，径须沽取对君酌。

五花马，千金裘，

呼儿将出换美酒，与尔同销愁。

琴歌翻译对照：

The zither and lute play under the throne, all is serene and ful.

The bell, drum, fine food and jade are not so precious;

But to be drunk and never wake is what I wish for.

Since ancient times, the wise and virtuous have all been lonely;

Only the drunkards have left their names behind.

The Marquis of Chen once held a grand feast at Ping乐;

With a thousand cups of wine at ten thousand a piece, they laughed and chattered freely.

Why do you say there’s not enough money, my host?

Just go buy some wine to pour for my guest.

With five-color horses and a thousand-dollar robe,

Call the boy to take them out and exchange for fine wine;

Let’s drink together to dispel the sorrow of ten thousand years.
