Translation - English Danyuan Ren Changjiu (I wish you well)
Bright Moon, since when have you been up there
Holding a cup of wine, now I enquire to the heavens
In the celestial palace, what night is tonight in your calendar
I would ride on the wind and return there
Nevertheless, I’m afraid of its Empyrial appearance
The cold of the culmination is unbearable to my corporal skin
So I merely dance with shadows of worldly illusions till it comes to an end
What a human life it is
Through the red gate, through the low window
You illuminate this sleepless body of mine with pale light
No answer to my resentment, in my time of melancholy, you’re round and bright as ever
As you have wax and wane, man has meeting and parting
Be that the Absolute from which all must suffer
The least I shall wish:
May his life be long and prosperous
May our two hearts connect with each other over ten thousand miles
