译文及注释:
可恨你不像江边楼上高悬的明月,
I hate that you are not like the bright moon hanging high above the building by the riverbank,
不管人们南北东西四处漂泊,
no matter where people wander in the north, south, east, or west,
明月都与人相伴不分离。
the moon stays with them without ever leaving.
可恨你就像江边楼上高悬的明月,
I hate that you are just like the bright moon hanging high above the building by the riverbank,

just when you become full, you are soon missing,
等到明月再圆不知还要等到何时。
and who knows how long we will have to wait until it becomes full again.
