静夜思

静夜思

译/李雪梅

Night Thoughts

Beside my bed floods moonlight

As if frost covering the ground

I gazed at the moon ever so bright

Longing for home I turned around

静夜思

译/Shujihuai

Homesick Night

So bright is the moonlight casting on my bedside,

That I mistook it as frost on the ground.

After looking up to the moon,

I bowed my head down pondering how to get home soon

静夜思

译/山森

So bright,  the moonlight was down on my bedding.

Ground frost, that's what it looked like and I was thinking.

Looking up, I found the moon was again full and shining.

Head down, I was homesick by seeing the holiday coming

静夜思

译/阮大侠

The Quiet Night

Beside my bed there's the gleam of moonlight,

Be the frost on the ground I thought it might.

My eyes were drawn up to the sky by the moon so bright,

Memories of home weighed me down in this quiet night.
