如梦令

如梦令

Like A Dream

李清照

常记溪亭日暮，沉醉不知归路。

兴尽晚回舟，误入藕花深处。

争渡，争渡，惊起一滩鸥鹭。

I often remember that sunset at Creek Pavilion:

Too drunk to know our way back home.

Turning the boat sound after a joyous day,

We blundered deeper into lotus' way.

Punt away!

Punt away!

We drive up a beachful of herons and gulls.
