by Chan I
Translation by Anonymous / Unidentified Author

Durchwachte Nacht
Language: German (Deutsch)  after the Chinese (中文) 
Im Wind schaukelt der Bambus, 
der Mond setzt sich auf den Stein.
In das Vibrieren der Milchstraße 
flog der Schatten der Wildente hinauf.
An unser Wiedersehen denk ich.
Der Traum meidet meine Lider, 
meine Lider meidet der Traum.
Indessen singe ich vor Freude, singe,
der Elster Schrei weckt den Tag, 
weckt schon den Tag.
Lalalala...
