Any suggestion on good translation of 秋风词?
秋风清，秋月明,落叶聚还散,寒鸦栖复惊。相亲相见知何日，此时此夜难为情；入我相思门，知我相思苦，长相思兮长相忆，短相思兮无穷极，早知如此绊人心，何如当初莫相识.

Autumn Wind Song

Fresh autumn breeze
bright autumn moon
falling leaves collect and scatter
winter ravens roost then flutter
when, my love will we meet again?
now, tonight I feel only sorrow.

Just enter my love's gate
you'll know my lovesickness
long loves are long in memory
but brief loves go on forever
had I known hearts thus are fettered
perhaps we never would have met; ▶ Reply to This

Try Li Bai's poem collection; ▶ Reply to This
