by Li-Tai-Po (701 - 762)
Translation by Romeo Salinas

前有一樽酒行二首
Language: Chinese (中文) 
Our translations:  ENG
春风东来忽相过,
金樽渌酒生微波。
落花纷纷稍觉多,
美人欲醉朱颜酡。
青轩桃李能几何?
流光欺人忽蹉跎。
君起舞,日西夕。
当年意气不肯平,
白发如丝叹何益。

(琴奏龙门之绿桐,
玉壶美酒清若空。
催弦拂柱与君饮, 
看朱成碧颜始红。
胡姬貌如花,
当垆笑春风。
笑春风, 舞罗衣,
君今不醉将安归?)

Ante el vino de mi copa
Language: Spanish (Español)  after the Chinese (中文) 
El viento viene del Este
en un palanquín de seda.
Riza el viento de mi copa
el viento de primavera.
Bajo la lluvia de pétalos
de la rama desprendidos,
como las rosas abiertas
está tu rostro en el vino.

¿Has pensado cuántos años
las glicinas , los almendros
florecerán tras tus rejas
iluminando tus sueños?
Es hora, niña, que dances;
el sol camina al ocaso;
la tarde se va en la noche,
la juventud, en los años.

La vida, niña, algún día
Blanqueará nuestros cabellos.

Amor ... y vino en las copas
Antes que se marche el tiempo.

Confirmed with, Los Grandes Poetas, IX edición, Antología de Poética Universal, 1963, p.34
