When you ask about the return date, it's hard to say, evening rain, Manqiuchi.
When * * * cut the candle at the west window, but talk about the rain at night.
Translation 1
You asked me when I would go home, but I'm not sure of the date! The only thing I can tell you at this time is that this endless late rain is full of autumn pools. If one day, we will sit together at home under the west window, cut candles and flowers, and talk to each other about our thoughts in the rainy night tonight.
Translation 2
When you ask about the date of return, it's hard to say clearly. It rained cats and dogs all night in Bashan, and the autumn pool was full.
When to go home, * * * cut the candle flowers in the west window and tell them face to face what it's like to rain late.
Translation 3
You asked me when I would go back. I haven't set a date yet. At the moment, evening rain is falling, and the autumn rain is full of Hechi. When can I go back to my hometown, and we can talk while cutting candles under the west window? Then I'll be a guest in Bashan tonight and listen to the drizzle and tell you how lonely I am and how much I miss you!
