other users neither, maybe it should be "them" ("say" may have surfaced in translation, not containing context) 
once the text is entered into any browser, the latter will return the source: 出自唐朝诗人李白的古诗作品《金陵酒肆留别》 see e.g. https://search.yahoo.com/yhs/search?p=%E9%87%91%E9%99%B5%E5%AD%90%E5%BC%9F%E6%9D%A5%E7%9B%B8%E9%80%81%2C+%E6%AC%B2%E8%A1%8C%E4%B8%8D%E8%A1%8C%E5%90%84%E5%B0%BD%E8%A7%9E&ei=UTF-8&hspart=mozilla&hsimp=yhs-002

I couldn't find a good translation for this since Google Translate with picture feature probably is not as good for such a long sentence

So I came here: Google Translate says "Jingling children come and go in the wish" is google translate accurate at this?

I was unable to identify even the first character; see [my attempt here](https://i.sstatic.net/ssulj.png).
