明月几时有? 把酒问青天
míng yuè jǐ shí yǒu? bǎ jiǔ wèn qīng tiān
When will the bright moon appear? I raise my glass to ask the sky.
不知天上宫阙 今夕是何年?
bù zhī tiān shàng gōng què jīn xī shì hé nián?
I don't know which year tonight is in the heavenly palace.
我欲乘风归去 唯恐琼楼玉宇
wǒ yù chéng fēng guī qù wéi kǒng qióng lóu yù yǔ
I wish to ride the wind to return, yet I'm afraid the jade tower in the sky.
高处不胜寒 起舞弄清影 何似在人间
gāo chù bù shèng hán qǐ wǔ nòng qīng yǐng hé shì zài rén jiān
The high place feels unbearably cold. I dance and play with the shadow, how unlike the human world.
转朱阁 低绮户 照无眠
zhuǎn zhū gé dī qǐ hù zhào wú mián
Turning to the red pavilion and lowering the fine door, it shines on the sleepless.
不应有恨 何事长向别时圆?
bù yīng yǒu hèn hé shì zhǎng xiàng bié shí yuán?
There shouldn't be hatred; why does the moon keep being full during parting?
人有悲欢离合 月有阴晴圆缺
rén yǒu bēi huān lí hé yuè yǒu yīn qíng yuán quē
Humans have joys and sorrows, reunions and separations; the moon has its phases of light and darkness.
此事古难全 但愿人长久 千里共婵娟
cǐ shì gǔ nán quán dàn yuàn rén cháng jiǔ qiān lǐ gòng chán juān
This matter has always been difficult to achieve; may we always stay long, sharing the beauty of the moon thousands of miles apart.
我欲乘风归去 唯恐琼楼玉宇

bù yīng yǒu hèn hé shì zhǎng xiàng bié shí yuán? (bié shí yuán)
There shouldn't be hatred; why does the moon keep being full during parting? (During separation, it is full.)
