1 枝上梅香滿天紅 Bough laden fragrance of plum blossoms reddens the sky,
2 樹下醉意遍地濃 Under the tress, inebriation permeating deeply into the land.
3 舉杯欲請嫦娥姐 To my big sister, the Goddess of the Moon, I raised my cup to thee,
4 借照銀光侍寢夢 That I may borrow thy light to watch over my slumbering dreams.
3 Chang-O, the lunar goddess.
4 侍寢 literally to serve/attend the bedchamber. For example, the chamberlain. May have a salacious meaning but in this context, it is otherwise.
