Looking around, lonely and sad.
It's the hardest to stop breathing when it's warm and cold.
Three glasses and two glasses of wine, how can you beat him? It's late in the wind.
Guo Yan is very sad, but this is an old acquaintance.
Translation:
Looking around, lonely and sad.
Just feeling warm and welcoming winter, it is the most difficult to calm down.
Holding three cups of light wine and two cups of green tea, I can't resist the coolness of the evening breeze.
Looking at the past, my heart ached, only to find that I was an old acquaintance.
