Текст песни Читаю в записи института Конфуция - С кубком в руке вопрошаю луну - Ли Бо

Since then, as the moon appeared in the sky
How many years have passed?
Putting the cup, I ask her
Perhaps it will answer.
Never vzbereshsya you to the moon,
What shines in the darkness of night.
And the moon - wherever you go
It follows you.
As the flying mirror gleams
The palace of the Immortals it.
And then immediately disappears haze
Misty veil.
You will see how the moon rises
In the twilight, in the evening hours.
But the dawn comes - you will not notice,
What has been its light went out.
White rabbit in it crushes the drug,
And it replaced the winter spring.
And Chang E alone live there
And ever since must live.
We can not now see, my friends,
Moon ancient times.
But our ancestors shone it
Swim to the horizon.
Die in the world people are always
Immortals no longer among us,
But they admired the moon,
How I admire today.
I want at this hour, when
I composed poems for the wine,
It reflects the radiant light of the moon
In my gilded cup.
