月夜 On a Moonlight Night

杜甫 Du Fu

今 夜 鄜 州 月 ，
Far off in Fuzhou she is watching the moonlight,
jīn yè fū zhōu yuè ，
闺 中 只 独 看 。
Watching it alone from the window of her chamber-
guī zhōng zhǐ dú kàn 。
遥 怜 小 儿 女 ，
For our boy and girl, poor little babes,
yáo lián xiǎo ér nǚ ，
未 解 忆 长 安 。
Are too young to know where the Capital is.
wèi jiě yì zhǎng ān 。
香 雾 云 鬟 湿 ，
Her cloudy hair is sweet with mist,
xiāng wù yún huán shī ，
清 辉 玉 臂 寒 。
Her jade-white shoulder is cold in the moon.
qīng huī yù bì hán 。
何 时 倚 虚 幌 ，
...When shall we lie again, with no more tears,
hé shí yǐ xū huǎng ，
双 照 泪 痕 干 。
Watching this bright light on our screen?
shuāng zhào lèi hén gān 。
