水調歌頭.明月幾時有
Water Melody
明月幾時有, 把酒問青天
不知天上宮闕, 今夕是何年
How rare the moon,
so round and clear!
With cup in hand,
I ask of the serene sky,
"I do not know in the celestial sphere
What year this festive night goes by?"
我欲乘風歸去，但恐瓊樓玉宇
高處不勝寒，起舞弄清影
何似在人間
I want to fly home, riding the air,
But fear the ethereal cold up there,
The jade and crystal mansions are so high!
Dancing to my shadow,
I feel no longer the mortal tie.
轉朱閣, 低綺戶, 照無眠,
不應有恨, 何事長向別時圓
She rounds the vermilion tower,
Stoops to silk-pad doors,
Shines on those who sleepless lie.
Why does she, bearing us no grudge,
Shine upon our parting, reunion deny?
But rare is perfect happiness.
人有悲歡離合，月有陰晴圓缺
此事古難全,
但願人長久, 千裏***嬋娟
So men meet and say goodbye.
The moon does wax,
and the moon does wane,
I only pray our life be long,
And our souls together heavenward fly!
