Lyrics and translation 蘇芮 - 飲者之歌

飲者之歌

日落西山黄昏时 寒冷东风阵阵起
街巷酒馆满满是 群男饮酒助元气
欣赏音乐酒味甜 啊 一杯一杯饮落去
饮了过头失理智 是非发生才知迟
暗淡灯光照人影 萍水相逢在今夜
朋友做伙来相请 热情敬酒真感谢
要求唱歌乎洇听 啊 一摆一摆唱大声
杂音扰乱无心晟 为着小事误性命
堂堂男儿要立志 父母晟养情拄天
报答恩情才合理 杯中沉浮无了时
饮者悲歌断命诗 啊 一声一声叫着你
迷恋稍酒爱觉醒 不通放荡放袂记

The Drinker's Song

As the sun sets west, casting a golden hue on the horizon, a cold eastern wind blows through the air.
The streets and taverns are full of men, lifting their spirits with alcoholic beverages.
The music is sweet, the wine is delicious, one cup after another, I drink them down.
Drinking to excess, I lose my reason, and only when trouble arises do I realize my folly.
In the dim light, shadows dance, and strangers become companions for the night.
Friends come together, inviting me to drink, and I raise my glass in gratitude.
They ask me to sing, and I oblige, my voice loud and clear.
But the clamor drowns out my thoughts, and over a trivial matter, lives are lost.
A man of honor should have lofty ideals, to repay his parents' love and support.
Only by showing my gratitude can I live a meaningful life, but alas, I am lost in the depths of drink.
The drinker's lament, a song of death, echoes through the night, calling out your name.
Caught in the allure of alcohol, I have lost my way, forgetting the consequences of my actions.
