I’m grieved to find you unlike the moon at its best,
恨君不似江樓月,
North, south, east, west.
南北東西。
North, south, east, west,
南北東西,
It would accompany me without any rest.
只有相隨無別離。
I am grieved to find you like the moon which would fain
恨君卻似江樓月,
Now wax, now wane.
暫滿還虧。
You wax and wane.
暫滿還虧,
When will you come around like the full moon again?
待得團圓是幾時?
