In Moonlight
 (Sung text for setting by E. Elgar)
 See original
Language: English 
Our translations:  CHI
As the moon's soft splendor 
O'er the faint, cold starlight of heaven
  Is thrown,
So thy voice most tender
To the strings without soul has given
  Its own.

 ... 

Though the sound overpowers,
Sing again, with thy sweet voice revealing
  A tone 
Of some world far from ours,
Where music and moonlight and feeling
  Are one.

Note: the text above is taken from stanzas 1,3 of the original text.

月光下
 (Sung text translation for setting by E. Elgar)
 See original
Language: Chinese (中文)  after the English 
 正当月之华丽
射向弱、冷的发光星辰
  在天,
你的声音柔极
赋予那没有自己灵魂
  之弦。

 ... 

虽然声音无双,
再咏,甜美的声音显现
   音调
隶属我们远方,
那边音乐、月光和情感
 协调。
