前有一樽酒行二首
Language: Chinese (中文)
Our translations: ENG
春风东来忽相过， 金樽渌酒生微波。 落花纷纷稍觉多， 美人欲醉朱颜酡。 青轩桃李能几何？ 流光欺人忽蹉跎。 君起舞，日西夕。 当年意气不肯平， 白发如丝叹何益。 (琴奏龙门之绿桐， 玉壶美酒清若空。 催弦拂柱与君饮， 看朱成碧颜始红。 胡姬貌如花， 当垆笑春风。 笑春风, 舞罗衣， 君今不醉将安归？)

Ante el vino de mi copa
Language: Spanish (Español) after the Chinese (中文)
El viento viene del Este en un palanquín de seda. Riza el viento de mi copa el viento de primavera. Bajo la lluvia de pétalos de la rama desprendidos, como las rosas abiertas está tu rostro en el vino. ¿Has pensado cuántos años las glicinas , los almendros florecerán tras tus rejas iluminando tus sueños? Es hora, niña, que dances; el sol camina al ocaso; la tarde se va en la noche, la juventud, en los años. La vida, niña, algún día Blanqueará nuestros cabellos. Amor ... y vino en las copas Antes que se marche el tiempo.
Confirmed with, Los Grandes Poetas, IX edición, Antología de Poética Universal, 1963, p.34
