I earn my living a punt-pole in hand,
一竿为活计,
Back and forth on waters to the east or west land.
往来西又东。
Over my shoulder is a palm-bark rain cape, smiling, I never complain about poverty in any shape.
笑着荷衣不叹穷?
Old I am now,
翁,
A drunkard in mind, sleeping under a willow bough,
醉眠杨柳风,
Feathery waves gently run,
波微动,
The anchored boat being freely afloat in the setting sun.
晚来舟自横。
