MOON FESTIVAL
To the tune Sui Diao Ge Tou
(Tune:"Prelude to Water Melody")
Su Shi (1036-1101 AD) English version: Frank Huang
On the Mid-autumn Festival of 1076, I drank with great joy
till dawn and became drunk. I composed this while
missing my younger brother Ziyou.
How rare the moon shines so bright?
Holding a goblet, I ask the blue sky.
What a joyful sight is it tonight,
Amid the heavenly palaces on high！
I wish to ride the wind and fly back,
Yet those jade towers and marble courts,
Amid the icy heights would be much too cold.
Instead, I try to dance and swing with my shadow.
Is there anything better than the man's world?
Turning around the red pavilions,
Stooping to peer through the latticed windows,
The moon shines over those who can't fall asleep.
There's no reason for her being so hard on men.
Why is she always full when dear ones are apart?
Men know the sorrow of parting and joy of reunion,
The moon is bright or dim, she may wax or wane;
Things've never been perfect since ancient times.
May we enjoy a lasting peaceful life,
And share her splendor across a thousand miles!
