Translation:
Who can accompany me on a mountain trip? Only Lingyang Ziming and Fuqiu Gong.
The towering mountains and lush green ridges block the Milky Way and continuous green peaks obstruct the Bullfighting Star.
Wang Sheng's villa faces the northern mountains with elegant and quiet pavilions and halls.
I feel the sincerity and enthusiasm of the host here with slaughtered pigs and roasted sheep displaying exquisite delicacies.
Sweeping the stone path waiting quietly for the bright moon excavating the pond and guiding the cold spring into it.
Drinking wine feeling happy and refreshed forgetting the cold of the autumn night.
In the past before I knew you I heard that you liked to make friends with talented people.
In your villa buildings and pavilions were built according to the mountain terrain and ponds and pavilions were carved out of stones.
A big fire was set in the middle of the sky around May and the midsummer wind blew from the south.
Several branches of stone cherries bloomed like fire and lotus flowers bloomed in leaves as tall as a zhang.
I wish I could arrive at your villa at this time and enjoy drinking together.
But this visit of mine is already in deep autumn with falling leaves dim moonlight and mournful monkey cries.
The generous banquet lasts all night with jade cups of fine wine accompanied by passionate Wu songs.
When the wine is intoxicating I want to dance with joy but the four voices of the singers have already started singing.
The sun rises from the sea of clouds on the horizon and the carriages and horses still linger in the villa.
Everyone agrees to visit Longtan together resting on the rocks brushing away the moss on them.
