The setting sun suddenly sets over the western mountains,
The bright moon in the east corner of the pond gradually rises eastward.
It’s a good time to enjoy the cool night with your hair down.
It’s so quiet and comfortable to lie down with the window open.
The breeze slowly brings the fragrance of lotus flowers,
The bamboo leaves gently drip with dew, making a clear sound.
I want to get the harp and play a tune,
I just regret that I don’t have a close friend in front of me to enjoy it.
I can’t help but miss my old friends while feeling this good night.
I can only dream about it in the middle of the night.
