吳王宮里醉西施。
吳歌楚舞歡未畢，
O'er Royal Terrace when crows flew back to their nest, The Southern maidens sang and danced without rest
青山欲銜半邊日。
銀箭金壺漏水多，
Till beak-like mountain-peaks would peck the sun half-sunk. The golden clepsydra could not stop water's flow,
起看秋月墜江波，
東方漸高奈樂何！
O'er river waves the autumn moon was hanging low. But wouldn't the king enjoy his fill in Eastern glow?
