Paroles et traduction 詹雯婷 - 但願人長久

但願人長久

明月幾時有
把酒問青天
不知天上宮闕
今夕是何年

我欲乘風歸去
唯恐瓊樓玉宇
高處不勝寒 起舞弄清影
何似在人間

轉朱閣低綺戶照無眠
不應有恨何事長向別時圓

人有悲歡離合
月有陰晴圓缺
此事古難全 但願人長久
千里共嬋娟

我欲乘風歸去
唯恐瓊樓玉宇
高處不勝寒 起舞弄清影
何似在人間

轉朱閣低綺戶照無眠
不應有恨何事長向別時圓

人有悲歡離合
月有陰晴圓缺
此事古難全 但願人長久
千里共嬋娟

But May People Live Long

When will the bright moon arise?
I ask the heavens, holding wine,
Not knowing in the celestial palace,
What year is this night?

I want to ride the wind and go away,
Only fearing those beautiful towers and jade halls
Will be too cold up high. Dancing and playing with my lonely shadow,
How is it better than being among mortals?

My red pavilion turns and my latticed window is low. It shines on me as I lie sleepless,
I shouldn’t feel regret. Why does it always become full when we part?

People experience joy, sorrow, parting, and reunion,
The moon waxes, wanes, becomes full, and disappears.
This is difficult to fully understand since ancient times. I only hope people may live long,
Together sharing the beauty of the moon, though thousands of miles apart.
