Quiet Night Thoughts

靜夜思—李白      
床前明月光,        
疑是地上霜.        
舉頭望明月,        
低頭思故鄉.        
Jing Ye Si by Li Bai        
chuang qian ming yue guang,        
yi shi di shang shuang.        
ju tou wang ming yue,        
di tou si gu xiang.        
       
It’s completely nostalgic        
the endless homesick        
intolerably gnaws the soul        
when it’s far away from home        
       
At a distant streaming city        
loneliness is the only company        
He’s woken by the moon glow        
which shines in front of his pillow        
and brightens the gloomy dark road        
       
For a moment he thought        
the moonlit floor’s covered by the frozen frost        
When raising up his head to search        
He found the night curses approach        
They are conjuring spells        
as well the voices of home swell        
       
Simply heartbroken for home          
under the illusion of the moon        
pondering is the only solution        
bowing his head for a meditation        
       
When will he be going back        
the date for return still lacks        
He clenches his fist          
stamp his feet to feel        
the frost-like moonlit floor        
as cold as a solid closed door        
keep him 10 thousand miles away        
the nostalgia of home sings all the way        
never ends until then
