Fish and dragon lanterns sway, drawing birds beneath full moon bright
Amid the throng, I wander in pure delight
The world is gentle, storms now far behind; A fan\'s flick and worldly cares fall away
The world, it seems, was never lonely
Flowers bloom before my eyes, and my playful heart joins the festive song
I raise my head and sigh, what joy to live this very night!
In night long, I ponder the road ahead
Better to follow the heart and let the wind guide
I gaze at the expanse, where light spills in rivers of color
Who will share this sight, with lanterns aglow in splendor?
Cherished be the simple joys of mortal life, may this moment linger slow
Floating lanterns speak of a year of plenty, fireworks drive away the winter frost
May moonlight bear a thousand wishes, and let them ring true
May sweet dreams linger long, and arrive at heart\'s true home.
Wine to the moon, I raise my cup. The mortal world draws forth a smile
A sleepless revel swirls all around, its splendor filling every sight
The jade moon hangs high, the storms subsided
With a sweep of my sleeve, I put my troubles behind
Perhaps the heavens are too lonesome, too high
Flowers bloom before my eyes, and a playful heart joins in the revelry
I raise my head and sigh, delighting in the joys of tonight
Long night, let me ponder the road ahead.
Better to follow the heart and borrow a little freedom
Look to the distance, where colors and light overflow
Who will share this sight, with lanterns aglow in splendor?
Cherished be the simple joys of mortal life
May this moment linger slow
Floating lanterns speak of a year of plenty, fireworks drive away the winter frost
May moonlight bear a thousand wishes aloft
And let them ring true
May sweet dreams linger long, and drift at last toward the heart\'s own home
Blessed be the simple joys of mortal life
I shall leave, this dream undisturbed
A thousand lanterns bear a year of plenty, bound for distant shores
