The lyrics of Shui Diao Ge Tou come from Su Shi's poem Shui Diao Ge Tou When Will the Moon Come?
When will the moon come? I fetch the wine glass from afar. I do not know the palace in heaven, and what month and when. I would like to take the royal breeze back to the sky, and I am afraid that in the buildings of fine jade, it cannot withstand the cold of nine days. Dancing and enjoying the shadow of the moon, which is in the world.
turn to Zhuge, low-lying households, and take photos without sleep. The moon should not have any resentment against people, why is it that the people are only round when they leave? Men have sorrow and joy and they part and meet again. The moon dims or shines and it waxes or wanes. Nothing is perfect, not even in the old days. I hope people will live for a long time, and they will be beautiful for thousands of miles.
The lyrics mean:
When did the bright moon begin to appear? I raised my glass and asked the sky from afar. I don't know the year and month of the palace in the sky. I want to go back to the sky by the breeze, but I'm afraid the building built in Meiyu can't stand the cold that has been towering for nine days. Dancing and enjoying the clear shadow under the moon is not like being on earth.
The moon turns around the scarlet pavilion and hangs low on the carved window, looking after herself who is not sleepy. The bright moon shouldn't have any resentment towards people, right? Why is it round when people leave? People have changes in joys and sorrows, and the moon has a change from sunny to sunny. This kind of thing has been difficult to be comprehensive since ancient times. I only hope that the relatives of all people in this world can be safe and healthy, and even if they are thousands of miles apart, they can enjoy this beautiful moonlight.
This word is a work of looking at the moon in the Mid-Autumn Festival, which expresses the infinite memory of Su Zhe, the younger brother. Poets use the image description technique to outline a kind of realm atmosphere of bright moon in the sky, thousands of miles away from relatives, aloof and broad-minded, which contrasts their own thoughts of sending the world to independence with the myths and legends of the past, and permeates a strong philosophical meaning in the moon.
