The market in the sky

Guo Moruo

Original text:

The street lights in the distance are very clear.

There seem to be countless stars shining.

Stars in the sky. Now,

It seems that countless street lamps are on.

I think that empty sky,

There must be a beautiful market.

Some items on display in the market,

It must be a rare thing in the world.

You see, the shallow Tianhe,

Certainly not very broad.

Cowherd and Weaver Girl across the river,

I'm sure I can ride a cow.

I think now,

You must walk in Tianjie.

If you don't believe me, please look at that meteor.

Even if they walk with lanterns.
