The Moon Over the River on a Spring Night(春江花月夜)

[Verse 1] In spring, the river’s tide swells with the sea, And from the waves, the moon begins to gleam. A thousand miles the shimmering light does race; What river corner lacks the moon’s embrace? ⸻ [Verse 2] The winding stream through fragrant meadows flows; On moonlit floral groves, a silver frost now glows. Soft mist wraps the drifting shoals below, A lone boat floats where willows bow. ⸻ [Chorus] Moonlight, riverlight, flowers in bloom, Flowing through time, beneath the moon. Endless the stream, endless the tune, Life circles on beneath the moon. ⸻ [Verse 3] Where sky and river merge, a single hue, A single moon, its endless glow in view. Who by this bank first gazed upon its light? When did it first fall upon our lives, so bright? ⸻ [Chorus] Moonlight, riverlight, flowers in bloom, Flowing through time, beneath the moon. Endless the stream, endless the tune, Life circles on beneath the moon. ⸻ [Verse 4] Life circles on through endless years, The moon remains through joys and tears. For whom, I wonder, does the moon await? It only sees the river’s endless state. ⸻ [Pre-Bridge] Beneath this moon, I think of your face, In this river of time, I call your name. ⸻ [Bridge] We chase the same moon, worlds apart, I’m sending you dreams from my restless heart. I wish these waves could reach your shore, But the river carries them evermore. ⸻ [Final Chorus / Outro] Moonlight, riverlight, flowers in bloom, Flowing through time, beneath the moon. Spin with me beneath the moon, Life circles on, beneath the moon.
