Returning Late on the Road from Pingquan on a Winter's Day Bai Juyi

冬日平泉路晚归

山路难行日易斜

烟村霜树欲栖鸦

夜归不到应闲事

热饮三杯即是家

Dong Ri Ping Quán Lû Wän Gui

Shan lû nan sing ri yi xiá

Yan cún shuang shù yù qi ya

Yè gui bú dão ying xián shi

Rè vin san bei ji shì jia

Mountain road hard travel sun become slant
Mist village frost tree about to perch crow
Night return not arrive should be unimportant
Warm drink three cups reach be come    The mountain road is hard to travel, the sun now slanting down,
In a misty village, a crow lands on a frosted tree.
I'll not arrive before night falls, but that should not concern me,
Once I've drunk three warm cups, I'll feel as if at home.
