Who lets the full moon hang on the sea?
our emotion is low,
but never say any negative words.
Just let the tears drop down as they wish.
Maybe we only can have love in the next life,
what about this life?
i try to throw everything behind my life,
but you're still flickering in my dark heart like a firefly.
海天谁放冰轮满，惆怅离情。
莫说离情，但值良宵总泪零。
只应碧落重相见，那是今生。
可奈今生，刚作愁时又忆卿。

Classical Chinese poetry thrives on Concision and Ambiguity. Without tense or number, the words create a timeless space where the reader becomes the co-creator of the poem's meaning.
Look for Contrasts: light and shadow, movement and stillness. Don't just translate the words; feel the Yijing (artistic conception) that lingers long after the last character.
