望月怀远

海上生明月， 天涯共此时。 情人怨遥夜， 竟夕起相思。 灭烛怜光满， 披衣觉露滋。 不堪盈手赠， 还寝梦佳期。

A hold a fényes tengeren dereng és
Language: Hungarian (Magyar) after the Chinese (中文)
A hold a fényes tengeren dereng és hatalmasan feltündököl az ég. A szeretőknek szétszakadt szivét most egybefűzi az áldott Merengés. Gyertyám kiojtom, ám nincsen sötétebb, zekém felöltöm, ám nincs melegebb. A holddal izenek hát s ágyba térek. Álmomba tán találkozom veled.
