TUNE: PARTRIDGE IN THE SKY

On yellow chrysanthemums dawns the morning chill.

Do not let your wine cup go dry while you live still!

Play on your flute when slants the rain and blows the breeze

Drunk, pin a flower on your invert hat with ease!

When you keep fit, eat better meal and drink more wine!

Enjoy your fill

With dancers sweet and songstresses fine!

Golden blooms become the young and white hair the old.

Why should I care for other people’s glances cold?

鹧鸪天

黄菊枝头生晓寒，

人生莫放酒杯干。

风前横笛斜吹雨，

醉里簪花倒著冠。

身健在，

且加餐。

舞裙歌板尽情欢。

黄花白发相牵挽，

付与世人冷眼看。
