The lyrics come from an ancient poem by a famous Chinese poet, Su Shí¬. The poet is sad, anguished, and drinking, because he is separated from his lover. He contemplates the moon, asking when it is ever clear and round, symbolizing happiness and the reunion of lovers; he consoles himself with the thought that his lover is gazing at the same moon. Ancient Chinese (wényá) is really a separate language, and not easy to translate. Here is the ending of the poem, in a very literal and then a free translation.
20
People have sadness/cheerful parting/meeting
21
The moon has dark cloudless circle lacking
22
This matter ancient difficult wholly
23
Only wish person long time
24
A thousand miles share beautiful abandonment
25
Life is about parting and coming together
26
The moon has times when it is not round
27
It has ever been difficult to manage this
28
Only wishing for eternity
29
No matter how far apart, it is happiness to see the same moon
