水调歌头（宋）蘇軾

明月几时有？When will there be the bright moon?
把酒问青天。I ask the azure Heaven, holding a cup of wine.
不知天上宫阙,I don’t know in the celestial palace
今夕是何年。In which year is tonight.
我欲乘风归去，I want to return, riding on the wind
又恐琼楼玉宇，But afraid in the jade towers
高处不胜寒。I can’t bear the chill on high.
起舞弄清影，If dancing there with my shadow
何似在人间？It’s unlike in the human world

转朱阁，Turning round the red pavilions
低绮户，Keeping low to the gauze-adorned doors
照无眠。And shining on the sleepless
不应有恨，Shouldn’t have rancor
何事长向别时圆？But why always grow round when parting?
人有悲欢离合，Humans have grief and glee, parting and meeting
月有阴晴圆缺，The moon’s now clouded, now shining, now waxing, now waning
此事古难全。This thing can’t be perfect since time of yore
但愿人长久，I only wish humans have a long life
千里共婵娟。So everything’s fine within a thousand miles

水调歌头

Prelude to Water Melody

苏东坡

By Su Dongpo

明月几时有，
把酒问青天。
不知天上宫阙，
今夕是何年。

When is the moon full and bright?
Raising wineglass, I ask blue sky.
I know not what year it is tonight,
In the heavenly palace so far away.

我欲乘风归去,
又恐琼楼玉宇，
高处不胜寒，
起舞弄清影，
何似在人间。

I wish to return home with fair wind,
For fear I cannot bear the freezing cold,
High in the marble towers and jade houses.
I elegantly dance with my lonely shadow,
As if I were not in the human world.

转朱阁，
低绮户，
照无眠。
不应有恨，
何事长向别时圆。

The moon rounds the red cabinet,
Peeping through the silk-pad windows,
Shining upon the sleepless man.
The moon should not have regrets,
Why is it always full to parting people?

人有悲欢离合，
月有阴晴圆缺，
此事古难全。
但愿人长久，
千里共婵娟。

Man has joys and sorrows, partings and reunions,
The moon waxes and wanes for us all,
It cannot be perfect since ancient time.
I wish that we all would have a long life,
And share the bright moon even miles apart.
