Moon Cake with Chinese Mid-Autumn Festival

When will the moon be clear and bright

With a cup of wine in my hand

I asked 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 like the human world

The moon rounds the red mansion

Stroops to silk-pad doors

Shines upon the sleepless

Bearing no grudge

Why does the moon tend to be full when people are apart?

People ay 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 moon together
