Lyrics and translation 陳浩德 - 月是故鄉明

月是故鄉明

牀前依稀滿地霜
原來月光照地堂
奈何人隔萬裏岸
空對秋色無心看

離情只對月兒訴
煩勞傳遞到故鄉
一般秋月異客照
偷向月兒問境況

抬頭推窗看月光
背井別鄉客道長
夜來惆悵念爹娘
蒼鬢應添白霜降

堪哀漂泊夢難暖
何年何日見故鄉
家鄉秋月甚清朗
此處月明及不上

當初逐馬紅兒笑
日月易逝兩鬢蒼
滄桑歲月人已變
只有月兒獨清朗

The Moon Is Brighter on the Hometown

Frost covered the ground before my bed
It turned out to be moonlight shining on the ground
But I am thousands of miles away from home
Facing the autumn scenery in vain

I can only tell the moon about my feelings of being away from home
I hope it can pass on my message to my hometown
The autumn moon shines on me, a stranger in a foreign land
I secretly ask the moon about the situation at home

I raise my head and look out the window at the moonlight
I have been far away from my hometown for a long time
At night, I feel sad and miss my parents
Their white hair must have increased as the night wore on

It's sad that my dream of going back home cannot be fulfilled
When will I see my hometown again?
The autumn moon in my hometown is very bright
The moon here is not as bright as it is there

At first, I left home with a smile
Time flies, and my hair has turned gray
The vicissitudes of life have changed me
Only the moon remains bright and clear
