I have lived in Tomb-Sweeping Day without flowers and wine. Like a monk in a temple, everything is depressing and lonely for me.

5. "Queqiao Fairy Cloud Trick"

Author Qin Guan? Song dynasty

The thin clouds in the sky are changing, the meteors in the sky convey the sadness of acacia, and the endless galaxy I quietly crossed tonight.

When the golden wind meets the dew, it will win, but there are countless people in the world.

Common complaint against acacia, tender feelings like water, meet each other as if it were a dream, when it is hard to see the bridge.

If two kinds of feelings last for a long time, they are still there, day and night.

Vernacular translation:

Thin clouds are changing in the sky, meteors are conveying the sadness of acacia in the sky, and I quietly crossed the distant and boundless galaxy tonight.

Tanabata meeting in the autumn wind and white dew is better than those couples who are together in the world.

* * * v. Acacia, tender as water, short will be like a dream, can't bear to see the magpie bridge road when leaving.

As long as two people love each other till death do us part, why do you want to be very much in love?
