This night Fuzhou moon Woman's chamber in only alone watch Far pity little boy girl Not understand remember Chang'an Fragrant mist cloud dressed hair wet Clear brightness jade arm cold What time lean on empty curtain Pair shine tears trace dry Embellished translation. The moon shines in Fuzhou tonight, In her chamber, she watches alone. I pity my distant boy and girl- They don't know why she thinks of Chang'an. Her cloud-like hair is sweet with mist, Her jade arms cold in the clear moonlight. When shall we lean in the empty window, Together in brightness, and tears dried up?
