月夜 Moonlit Night by Du Fu Lyrics
今夜鄜州月,闺中只独看。
遥怜小儿女,未解忆长安。
香雾云鬟湿,清辉玉臂寒。
何时倚虚幌,双照泪痕干。
Tonight at Fu-chou, this moon she watches
Alone in our room. And my little, far-off
Children, too young to understand what keeps me
Away, or even remember Chang'an. By now,
Her hair will be mist-scented, her jade-white
Arms chilled in its clear light. When
Will it find us together again, drapes drawn
Open, light traced where it dries our tears?
遥怜小儿女,未解忆长安。
香雾云鬟湿,清辉玉臂寒。
何时倚虚幌,双照泪痕干。
Tonight at Fu-chou, this moon she watches
Alone in our room. And my little, far-off
Children, too young to understand what keeps me
Away, or even remember Chang'an. By now,
Her hair will be mist-scented, her jade-white
Arms chilled in its clear light. When
Will it find us together again, drapes drawn
Open, light traced where it dries our tears?
