Cao Cao: O Let's All Drink And Sing Our Song - In Your Life Could You Live Years Long? 曹操 對酒當歌 人生幾何？ Poem by Frank Yue

DUAN GE XING: Short Song Walk (Excerpt)
- by Cao Cao (155-220)
- Translated by Frank C Yue

O Let's all drink and sing our song -
In your life could you live years long?
Just like the transient morning dew,
Gone my sufferings, but more are due.
I will live my life to the full
Though worries are around me, too.
What can one do to be care-free?
Only answer -Come, drink with me!
