On a spring day, I say my will

On a spring day, I say my will   


Being in the world           
    is like a great dream    
Why should we waste          
    the life of ours?        
Therefore I am drinking      
    all day long             
I've got dead drunk          
    lying on my face         

When I wake up               
    and see the garden       
One bird sings               
    in all the flowers       
I attempt to ask             
   'What time is this?'      
Spring wind and flowing birds
    are speaking together    

I do feel it                 
    and want to sigh         
To a pot of liquor           
    I am leaning again       
I sing loudly                
    wait fot the bright moon 
When music ends              
    I've forgot the feeling
