Peach Blossom Temple Song

Ming Dynasty: Tang Yin

Tang Yin, the owner of Peach Blossom Temple in the third month of Hongzhi Yichou (original version)

Peach Blossoms in Taohuawu Nunnery, the peach blossom fairy in Peach Blossom Nunnery.

The Peach Blossom Fairy planted peach trees and folded flower branches to pay for wine.

When you are sober, you just sit in front of flowers; when you are drunk, you have to sleep under flowers.

Day after day after flowering, drunkenly and awake year after year.

I don’t want to bow in front of the chariot and horse, but I want to die of old age and spend time drinking.

The chariot, dust and horses are enough for the rich, but the wine-gold twigs are for the poor.

If you compare wealth to poverty, one is on the ground and the other is in the sky.

If the poor and the lowly were compared to a chariot and a horse, he would have to drive and I would have nothing to do.

The world laughs at me for being too cool, but the world doesn’t see through me.

I remember the Tomb of the Heroes of Wuling, working in the fields without wine or flowers.

(Version 1)

Peach Blossom Temple in Taohuawu, Peach Blossom Fairy in Peach Blossom Temple.

The Peach Blossom Fairy planted peach trees and picked peach flowers in exchange for wine money.

When I’m sober, I just sit in front of the flowers; when I’m drunk, I come to sleep under the flowers.

Half awake and half drunk day after day, flowers fall and bloom year after year.

I hope that I will die of old age among the flowers and wine, and I don’t want to bow in front of the carriage.

The chariot, dust and horses are enough for the rich, and the wine-cup branches are for the poor.

If you compare the rich and the poor, one is on the ground and the other is in the sky.

If the poor and the lowly were compared to a chariot and a horse, he would have to drive and I would have nothing to do.

Others laugh at me for being too cool, but I laugh at others because they can’t see through it.

There are no tombs of heroes from the Five Tombs, and there are no flowers or wine to cultivate the fields.

(Version 2)

Peach Blossom Temple in Taohuawu, Peach Blossom Fairy in Peach Blossom Temple.

The Peach Blossom Fairy planted peach trees and picked peach flowers in exchange for wine money.

When you are sober, you just come and sit under the flowers; when you are drunk, you come and sleep under the flowers.

Half awake and half drunk day after day, flowers fall and bloom year after year.

I hope that I will die of old age among the flowers and wine, and I don’t want to bow in front of the carriage.

The chariot, dust and horses are enough for the rich, and the wine-cup branches are for the poor.

If you compare wealth to poverty, one is on the ground and the other is in the sky.

If flowers and wine were compared to chariots and horses, he would have to drive and I would have nothing to do.

Others laugh at me for being too coquettish, but I laugh at others because they can’t see through it.

There are no tombs of heroes from Wuling, and there is no wine and no flowers to cultivate the fields.

Vernacular translation

There is a Peach Blossom Temple in Taohuawu, and there is a Peach Blossom Fairy in Peach Blossom Temple.

The Peach Blossom Fairy planted many peach trees, and he picked the peach blossoms to exchange for wine money.

When you are sober, sit quietly among the flowers, and when you are drunk, sleep under the flowers.

Day after day between half awake and half drunk, year after year between flowers blooming and falling.

I just want to die among peach blossoms and fine wine, and I don’t want to bow and flatter in front of the carriages and horses of dignitaries.

Traveling in traffic is the hobby of nobles, while drinking wine and flowering branches is the fate and hobby of poor people like me.

If you compare other people's wealth with my poverty, one is in the sky and the other is on the ground.

If I compare my poverty with the carriages and horses of the dignitaries, they work for the rich and powerful, but I get leisure pleasure.

Others laugh at me for being crazy, but I laugh at others for not being able to see through the world.

Don’t you see, although those wealthy nobles were once glorious, now they can’t see their tombs, they are only used as fields for farming.
