夜飲東坡醒復醉， Drinking at Eastern Slope by night; when sobered, I got drunk again.
歸來仿佛三更。When I came back, it had been near midnight,
家童鼻息已雷鳴。My houseboys snore was like a roll of thunder;
敲門都不應， I knocked, but no one answered.
倚杖聽江聲。 Leaning on my cane, listening to the rivers refrain, what else could I do?
長恨此身非我有， I long lamented that I am not the master of my own body.
何時忘卻營營。When would I ignore the mundane affairs of up and down?
夜闌風靜縠紋平。In the still night, the soft winds quivered, leaving almost no ripples on the river.
小舟從此逝， From now on I would vanish with this little boat;
江海寄餘生。 For the rest of my life on the sea would I float.
