Moonlight shines ‘pon tall buildings, those beams dithering wayward
Worried wondering wife on, lamenting grief unending
Who laments, dare we all ask? A rover’s wife, she just is.
Husband off a decade plus, the lonely wife oft is lone
If his road is clear of dust, her lake is turbid with dirt
Rise, sink at different trends; when they meet, will they be good?
A wish to be southwest wind, to die within his embrace
If his arms do not open, what could humble she count on?

Original Text
明月照高楼，流光正徘徊。
上有愁思妇，悲叹有馀哀。
借问叹者谁？言是荡子妻。
君行逾十年，孤妾常独栖。
君若清路尘，妾若浊水泥。
浮沈各异势，会合何时谐？
愿为西南风，长逝入君怀。
君怀良不开，贱妾当何依？
