衆鳥高飛尽孤雲独去閑
相看両不厭只有敬亭山
書於巳未臥月之東x下
In my rough translation,
Many flying birds flew away high in sky,
and the only floating cloud flowed away,
there is quiet,
The only place you can't get tired of facing each other is the Mt. Jinting
Written in the Year of Earth-Sheep (...1919,1979)
in the Waning Phase of x Month

This is a citation from Li Bai's poem titled
"Sitting alone on Mt.Jinting" (獨座敬亭山)

Big red character,
囍  Xi Double happiness (Symbol of good luck)

With regards,
I.Nagy
