Intoxication in the Chinese Garden
幽梦影 Shadows of a Secluded Dream
倦眼依阑曲 Still tired are the eyes of the nocturnal song/melody
花阴醉几重 How intoxicated under the shaow of the flowers,
春思多少事 How much turbulence had passed when we were young? Literally, How many events of spring thoughts
春睡有无中 Was there any spring sleep in between?
且放江湖远 Thus I abandon myself far to the lakes and rivers. 江湖 can have several meanings. So I chose the literal one to have the Chinese flavour. It can mean the world, the underworld of the martial arts etc.
得来天地通 And gained the understanding of the Heaven and Earth.
安知幽梦里 To know the safety in my secluded dreams
搅树有西风 Stirring the trees, is the wind from the west.
Against parapet, I lounge under flowering trees,
Through languid eyes, I revel in cozy spring;
With a myriad of fantasies, my mind seethes
Into Half-awaking and half-dreaming I slip
The more easement I can enjoy and achieve
Since the more from worldly affairs I retreat
Wonderful it is to have such a pleasant feeling
Knowing not a wind wafts pedals over my seat
