The original text of "Gu Lang Yue Xing" is as follows:
When I am young and do not recognize the moon, I call it a white jade plate.
I also suspected that the Yao Tai Mirror was flying in the blue clouds.
The immortal has his legs hanging down, and the osmanthus tree is not round.
The white rabbit pounded the medicine and asked who he wanted to eat with.
The toad erodes its round shadow, and the bright night is gone.
In the past, Yi fell from the Nine Crows, and heaven and man were clear and peaceful.
The Yin essence has fallen into confusion, and it is not enough to understand it.
Worry comes as no surprise, and sadness destroys the heart and liver.
The translation of "Gu Lang Yue Xing" is as follows:
When I was a child, I didn't know the moon and called it a white jade plate.
I also suspected that it was a fairy mirror from Yaotai, flying above the blue clouds in the night sky.
Does the immortal in the moon hang his feet? Why does the laurel tree grow round in the middle of the moon? Who is the elixir made by the white rabbit for? The toad gnawed the full moon into pieces, making the bright moon dim and unclear.
Hou Yi shot down nine suns, thus avoiding disasters in heaven and earth.
The moon has disappeared and is confusing. There is nothing to see, so it is better to walk away.
How could I bear to leave when I was so worried? The misery and sadness made me heartbroken.
