About Love to the tune of Pleasure in Front of the Hall
殿前欢·道情
Drunk he is now with a red face,
醉颜酡，
In woods near the water he dances with a grace,
水边林下且婆娑。
Singing a rhapsody at will,
醉时拍手随腔和，
To the rhythm of the song his hands slapping a thrill:
一曲狂歌。
Alas, no one really understands a truth so far;
除渔樵两个，无灾祸。
Disaster comes to all except fisherman or woodsman under the star.
此一着谁参破？
Life after all is a dream free,
南柯梦绕，
A dream under the southern locust tree.
梦绕南柯。
