When Does the Bright Moon Appear?

When does the bright moon appear

I raise my cup to ask the blue sky

I know not if the palace in heaven mirrors

The same time as tonight

I long to ride the wind and return there

Yet feel those crystal towers

Those high terresses would be too cold to bear

Dancing with my shadow in such light

How could this compare to life among mortals

Turning past the red pavilions

Stooping through the colorful doors

Moon illuminates the sleepless

No hatred should exist yet

Why is it always for when we part

Then experience sorrow and joy

Pardon and reunion

As its faces of shadow and brightness

Waxing and waning such as

The way since ancient times

Yet I hope for longevity

That we may share this beautiful moonlight

Even thousands of miles apart

When does the bright moon appear

I know not if the palace in heaven mirrors

Yet feel those crystal towers

Those high terresses would be too cold to bear

Dancing with my shadow in such light

How could this compare to life among mortals

Turning past the red pavilions

Stooping through the colorful doors

Moon illuminates the sleepless

No hatred should exist yet

Why is it always for when we part

Then experience sorrow and joy

Parting and reunion

As its faces of shadow and brightness

Waxing and waning such as

The way since ancient times

Yet I hope for longevity

That we may share this beautiful moonlight

Even thousands of miles apart
