若月亮没来(若是月亮还没来) Meaning & Lyrics (Yuzhou Wang Leto | 乔浚丞)
姜洄 writes about life’s small frustrations and big dreams. A key line, ‘If the moon hasn’t arrived yet, the streetlight can still brighten the windowsill,’ reminds us to appreciate what we have. The poet uses simple, physical imagery like streetlights and camellias to highlight the beauty in imperfection.
Feng chuiguo shan chuan kaole anThe wind blows across mountains and rivers to reach the shore.
Fengguang a yidian dian kanTake in the scenery, bit by bit.
Wo zouxiang bei ni quwang nanI’m heading north while you’re traveling south.
Gushi a yipian pian fanThe story turns, page by page.
Hao fan you jiaban dao hen wanIt’s so frustrating to work overtime until so late.
Ni dashang kongdang de ditie yi shi mobanYou board the empty subway; it’s already the last train.
Hao fan hen ai que yao fenkai lian’ai tan bu mingbaiIt’s so frustrating to love so much yet have to part; I just don’t understand romance.
Hao fan jiejin lixiang hao nanIt’s so frustrating because reaching my dreams is so hard.
Que you hai hen bu gan ruhe yongbao pingdanYet I’m still so unwilling to settle; how do I embrace the ordinary?
Ruguo zui nan dedao yuanman buru xuanze tanranIf perfection is the hardest thing to find, it’s better to choose peace of mind.
Ruoshi yueliang hai meilaiIf the moon hasn’t arrived yet,
Ludeng ye ke zhao chuangtaithe streetlight can still brighten the windowsill.
Zhaozhe baise de shancha hua weiwei kaiIt shines on the white camellias as they slowly bloom.
Ruoshi chenfeng hai meilaiIf the morning breeze hasn’t arrived yet,
Wanfeng ye ke chui ruhuaithe evening breeze can still embrace you.
Chuizhe na yidi shuying wenrou yaobaiIt blows through the shadows of the trees, swaying gently.
Ni zong yiwei ni bugou hao bugou miaotiao he meimaoYou always think you aren’t good enough, not slim or beautiful enough.
Keshi wanmei shei neng dadao zuo ni ziji jiu hen haoBut who can ever reach perfection? Just being yourself is more than enough.
Fannao fannao yongyou tai shao meiyou fangche meiyou chaopiaoYou worry that you have too little—no home, no car, no cash.
Ke ai ni de ren yongyuan hui ba ni dangzuo xinjian zhenbaoBut the people who love you will always cherish you as their greatest treasure.
Wo ye dong da duoshu de shihou ni zhi xiang taoli zhe shijieI understand that most of the time, you just want to escape this world.
Wo ye dong tai duo de qingxu zai yige ren shimian de shenyeI understand there are too many emotions on those late nights when you’re alone and sleepless.
Ni keyi shi beishang huozhe baoyuan dan qing buyao fangqi mingtianYou can feel sad or complain, but please don’t give up on tomorrow.
Zhe yizhi huian de shijie wo xiang kanjian ni de xiaolianIn this world that’s always been a bit dim, I want to see your smile.
Ruoshi yueliang hai meilaiIf the moon hasn’t arrived yet,
Ludeng ye ke zhao chuangtaithe streetlight can still brighten the windowsill.
Zhaozhe baise de shancha hua weiwei kaiIt shines on the white camellias as they slowly bloom.
Ruoshi chenfeng hai meilaiIf the morning breeze hasn’t arrived yet,
Wanfeng ye ke chui ruhuaithe evening breeze can still embrace you.
Chuizhe na yidi shuying wenrou yaobaiIt blows through the shadows of the trees, swaying gently.
Ruoshi yueliang hai meilaiIf the moon hasn’t arrived yet,
Ludeng ye ke zhao chuangtaithe streetlight can still brighten the windowsill.
Zhaozhe baise de shancha hua weiwei kaiIt shines on the white camellias as they slowly bloom.
Ruoshi chenfeng hai meilaiIf the morning breeze hasn’t arrived yet,
Wanfeng ye ke chui ruhuaithe evening breeze can still embrace you.
