明月几时有

水调歌头

作者：苏轼

丙辰中秋，欢饮达旦，大醉。作此篇，兼怀子由。

明月几时有?  把酒问青天。不知天上宫阙，今夕是何年。

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。

转朱阁，低绮户，照无眠。不应有恨，何事长向别时圆。

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。

"Thinking of You"

When will the moon be clear and bright?

　　With a cup of wine in my hand, I ask the blue sky.

　　I don't know what season it would be in the heavens on this night.

　　I'd like to ride the wind to fly home.

　　Yet I fear the crystal and jade mansions are much too high and cold for me.

　　Dancing with my moon-lit shadow;

　　It does not seem to be in this world.

　　The moon rounds the red mansion;

Stoops to silk-pad doors;

　　Shines upon the sleepless.

Bearing no grudge, why does the moon tend to be full when people are apart?

　　People may have sorrow or joy, be near or far apart;

　　The moon may be dim or bright, wax or wane;

　　This has been going on since the beginning of time.

　　May we all be blessed with longevity;

Though far apart, we are still able to share the beauty of the moon together.

这是苏轼在中秋把酒问欢，写给兄弟的词。我收到远方侄女的简讯，问我是不是忘了她。最近因为爸爸妈妈在老家，只是打电话给爸爸妈妈，没有打回给哥嫂和两个侄女。亲情是剪不断的，我是想念你们的。是的，我在这里也吃月饼，吃柚子，喝茶赏月，打灯笼。。。想念亲友。

It's a beautiful Mid-Autumn lyric by a Chinese poet Su Shi in 11 centuries, written for his brother who is far away in the capital while he was dismissed to a county as a local official. Most of the famous poets in Chinese history did not enjoy a successful career, and hence out of the sorrow they produced beautiful pieces sang by many nowadays.
