水调歌头1·明月几时有
Prelude to Water Melody·O!Crystal Clear Full Moon
（宋）苏轼
(Song) Su Shi
丙辰2中秋，欢饮达旦3，大醉，作此篇，兼怀子由4。
On this Mid-autumn Day,I drink all night long and get so drunk that I compose this poem for fun and to remember my younger brother Ziyou.
明月几时有？
把酒5问青天：
不知天上宫阙6，
今夕是何年。
我欲乘风归去7，
又恐琼楼玉宇8，
高处不胜寒9。
起舞弄清影10，
何似11在人间。
O!Crystal clear full moon,so dear,so bright,
is already out there tonight.
I raise a vessel ’n ask the Goddess in the sky:
Tell me everything,alright?
In the Heaven the palaces so dazzlingly shine,
Celebrating what this night?
If only I could ride the breeze to far away fl y.
But so cold,so chilly,so high
Are those formidable heavenly jade chambers.(https://www.daowen.com)
Dance with Shadow,alright?
Moon Goddess’d come by,on earth a paradise.
转朱阁，
低绮户，
照无眠12。
不应有恨，
何事长向别时圆13？
人有悲欢离合，
月有阴晴圆缺，
此事14古难全。
但15愿人长久，
千里共婵娟16。
In the blinking,at this red chamber,she arrives,
peeks through a window quiet:
She is dazzling me,such a poor sleepless exile.
No!That’s so hard for my eyes!
Goddess,be no cool,not too full,too bright.
Partings,reunions,sorrows ’n joys,
All part of life,mates stay apart sometimes,
Like you Moon since ancient times
Wax and wane,hidden shy or shining bright.
Mountains,oceans apart we stay;
Wish you a long life; Goddess with us,alright!
