水調謌頭
【宋】囌軾
丙辰中秌，懽飲迖旦，大醉，作此篇，兼懷子由。
明月幾旹有，把酒問青天。不知天上宮闕，今夕是何秊。我慾乗風歸去，又恐瓊樓玉宇，高処不勝寒。起舞挵清影，何似在人間。
轉硃閣，低綺戶，炤無眠。不應有恨，何事長嚮別旹圓？人有悲懽離閤，月有陰晴圓缺，此事古難全。但願人長久，韆裏共嬋娟。

The Mid-autumn Festival
Tune: "Prelude to Water Melody"
How long will the full moon appear?
Wine cup in hand, I ask the sky.
I do not know what time of the year
It would be tonight in the palace on high.
明月幾旹有，把酒問青天。
不知天上宮闕，今夕是何秊。
Riding the wind, there I would fly,
Yet I'm afraid the crystalline palace would be
Too high and cold for me.
I rise and dance, with my shadow I play.
On high as on earth, would it be as gay?
我慾乗風歸去, 又恐瓊樓玉宇，
高処不勝寒，起舞挵清影，何似在人間。
The moon goes round the mansions red
Through gauze-draped window soft to shed
Her light upon the sleepless bed.
Against man she should have no spite.
Why then when people part, is the oft full and bright?
轉硃閣，低綺戶，炤無眠。
不應有恨，何事長嚮別旹圓。
Men have sorrow and joy; they part or meet again;
The moon is bright or dim and she may wax or wane.
There has been nothing perfect since the olden days.
So let us wish that man
Will live long as he can!
Though miles apart, we'll share the beauty she displays.
人有悲懽離閤，月有陰晴圓缺，此事古難全。
但願人長久，韆裏共嬋娟。
