「饮后夜醒」白居易

黄昏饮散归来卧，夜半人扶强起行。枕上酒容和睡醒， 

楼前海月伴潮生。将归梁燕还重宿，欲灭窗灯却复明。

直至晓来犹妄想，耳中如有管弦声。

AFTER GETTING DRUNK, BECOMING SOBER IN THE NIGHT 

Our party scattered at yellow dusk and I came home to  bed; 

I woke at midnight and went for a walk, leaning heavily  on a friend. 

As I lay on my pillow my vinous complexion, soothed by  sleep, grew sober; 

In front of the tower the ocean moon, accompanying the  tide, had risen. 

The swallows, about to return to the beams, went back to roost again ; 

The candle at my window, just going out, suddenly revived  its light. 

All the time till dawn came, still my thoughts were  muddled ; 

And in my ears something sounded like the music of flutes  and strings.
