Joint In The Evenin' (Chinese New Year - "Drinking Alone Under The Moon")

(with thanks to Li Bai & Rene Lavand)

I take a bottle of wine,
in the bowers where no companion's mine.
Raising a cup to the Moon;
that's two of us,
and my shadow joins soon!
We companions are always three:
my shadow,
the Moon,
and simply me.
I sing, the Moon encourages me;
I dance, my shadow imitates me.
This lonesomeness I've always known,
in the bowers where this life turns cold.
When tonight our wine is done,
we should surely part ways one by one;
sojourning without a care,
my shadow,
the Moon,
and simply me.
