遣懷 杜牧

遣懷            杜牧(803-852)   

落魄江湖載酒行，楚腰纖細掌中輕。

十年一覺揚州夢，贏得青樓薄倖名。

 

Speaking my bosom            Du Mu (803-852)   

Fallen and wretched, I’ve been on the tramp with only my wine to drown my bale,

I am always attracted to petite and slim-waist belles,
Now, awakened from my ten-year Yangzhou dream, only to tell
I’ve only been dubbed “the philanderer” among the bordels.
