臨江仙·夜飲東坡醒復醉英譯

夜飲東坡醒復醉，歸來仿佛三更。家童鼻息已雷鳴。敲門都不應，倚杖聽江聲。
長恨此身非我有，何時忘卻營營。夜闌風靜縠紋平。小舟從此逝，江海寄余生。

Drinking at Eastern Slope by night,I sober, then get drunk again.When I come back, it's near midnight,I hear the thunder of my houseboy's snore;I knock but no one answers the door.What can I do but, leaning on my cane,Listen to the river's refrain?

I long regret I am not master of my own.When can I ignore the hums of up and down?In the still night the soft winds quiverOn ripples of the river.From now on I would vanish with my little boat;For the rest of my life on the sea I would float.
