Du Fu - A Guest Arrives lyrics

客至（喜崔明府相过） 舍南舍北皆春水 但见群鸥日日来 花径不曾缘客扫 蓬门今始为君开 盘餐市远无兼味 樽酒家贫只旧醅 肯与邻翁相对饮 隔篱呼取尽馀杯 Repeated text without individual character translation 客至（喜崔明府相过） 舍南舍北皆春水 但见群鸥日日来 花径不曾缘客扫 蓬门今始为君开 盘餐市远无兼味 樽酒家贫只旧醅 肯与邻翁相对饮 隔篱呼取尽馀杯 Transliteration: Hut south hut north all spring water Only see flock gulls day day come Flower path not once reason visitor sweep Rough gate today start for gentleman open Dish supper market far not double taste Cup wine home poor only old coarse wine Consent with neighbour old man opposite drink Partition fence shout get exhaust remaining cup Translation: South of my hut, north of my hut, all is spring water, A flock of gulls is all I see come each day. The floral path has never been swept for a guest, Today for the first time the rough gate opens for the gentleman. Far from the market, my food has little taste, My poor home can offer only stale and cloudy wine. Consent to have a drink with my elderly neighbour, At the fence I'll call him, then we'll finish it off.
