Li Bai: Traveler to a Strange Place

Traveler to a Strange Place

客 中 作

兰 陵 美 酒 郁 金 香
玉 碗 盛 来 琥 珀 光。

但 使 主 人 能 醉 客
不 知 何 处 是 他 乡。

Ke Zhong Zuo

Lan ling mei jiu yu jin xiang
Yu wan cheng lai hu po guang.                                                                                            Dan shi zhu ren neng zui ke
Bu zhi he wai shi ta xiang.

Traveler to a Strange Place

Lan Ling beautiful, their wine with a strong, golden fragrance
Jade bowls with ladles arrive with light amber wine.

Yet the host can make this visitor drunk
Then I forget where my hometown is.

Notes:

Lan Ling: Located in southern Shandong Province. Now a county.
