守岁

李世民

暮景斜芳殿，年华丽绮宫。

寒辞去冬雪，暖带入春风。

阶馥舒梅素，盘花卷烛红。

共欢新故岁，迎送一宵中。

New Year's Eve 

By Li Shimin 

Translated by Ken Fan 

Against dim twilight stands the palace of magnificence, 

Ages of glory have enriched its royal opulence. 

Snow melts away along with departing winter,

Early spring ushers warm breeze into my chamber. 

The sweet smell of plum blossom permeats the air,

Red candles and floral offerings line up with flair. 

Cheers to all the years together, past and new,

Such a festive night for greeting and adieu.
