酒坏(ｻｶﾂﾞｷ)に 梅の花浮かべ 思ふどち 飲みての後(ﾉﾁ)は 散りぬともよし
Drinking sake with like-minded friends floating plum blossoms in the cup,
I don’t care if they are scattering, after drinking up.
(題詞) 大伴坂上郎女の歌一首
酒坏(ｻｶﾂﾞｷ)に 梅の花浮かべ 思ふどち 飲みての後(ﾉﾁ)は 散りぬともよし

酒坏(ｻｶﾂﾞｷ)に、梅の花を浮かべて、気の合う仲間同士(=思ふどち)で飲んだ後は、散ってしまってもかまいません
A poem by Otomo no Sakanoue no Itsurame
Drinking sake with like-minded friends floating plum blossoms in the cup,
I don’t care if they are scattering, after drinking up.
