My sailing boat, crafted of redwood, is swift,
My flute is carved out of jasper.
With water a stain is removed from the silk,
With wine - the worries and heartache.
And if you-re the owner of swift little boat,
The wine and a beautiful woman...
What else can you ask for? In every respect,
To heavenly gods you are equal.
Happiness
