1 月落深谷五更時 When the moon descends into the valley deep, dawn will be breaking,
2 星稀沉醉誰欲醒 Sparse are the stars and drunkards chose not to wake.
3 昨夜春宵復今朝 Last night’s spring revelry to continue into the morning,
4 只在夢中未了情 For only in dreams, affairs yet to end.
1 Literally, at the hour of the 5th watch. Midnight is the third watch and a Chinese hour is equivalent to two western hours. The time could thus be anywhere from 4am to 5am.
