I’m grieved to find you unlike the moon at its best,
恨君不似江楼月，
North, south, east, west.
南北东西。
North, south, east, west,
南北东西，
It would accompany me without any rest.
只有相随无别离。
I am grieved to find you like the moon which would fain
恨君却似江楼月，
Now wax, now wane.
暂满还亏。
You wax and wane.
暂满还亏，
When will you come around like the full moon again?
待得团圆是几时？
