1. I got a little too drunk last night so I had to ask a neighbor where I lived. I tried to follow the trail of cow dung but got lost in bamboo and vines. 2. Three little neighbor boys greeted me with pea shooters. I thought I was far away, about to meet my lover by a stream. 3. Nothing I can do about my scary looks. My eyebrows are as white as my cheeks. The neighbor girl doesn’t understand; only the lover of my dreams gets me.
一 半醒半醉问诸黎,竹刺藤梢步步迷。 但寻牛矢觅归路,家在牛栏西复西。 二 总角黎家三小童,口吹葱叶送迎翁。 莫作天涯万里意,溪边自有舞雩风。 三 符老风情奈老何,朱颜减尽鬓丝多。 投梭每困东邻女,换扇惟逢春梦婆。
