Translation:
On August 15th Sun Juyuan left Haizhou and before that I bid him farewell from the Jing Shu Tower. Soon after we met again in Runzhou and traveled together until we parted ways in Chuzhou. On November 15th I returned to Haizhou and met with the prefect at the Jing Shu Tower. (Thinking of Brother Juyuan) I wrote this poem to send to Juyuan.
I often reminisce about the moment we parted sitting on the Jing Shu Tower with the moonlight shining like water. Drinking fine wine and singing beautiful songs it's a pity that friends cannot stay only the moonlight accompanies you thousands of miles away. It has been three months since you left and the moon has been full three times. Today on another full moon day I drink alone feeling cold and lonely. With whom can I share this intoxication? I roll up the pearl curtain and sadly gaze at the moon's reflection spending a sleepless night with the moonlight.
Today a guest from the Sui River told me that you also miss me dearly. Your tears of longing merge into the clear Huai River and flow into the sea. Where are you now? You are in the central administrative office in the palace in the long night with dew wetting your bed. At this moment you should also be secretly missing me as you look at the moon in the corridor.
Annotations:
Sun Juyuan whose given name is Zhu was a friend of Su Shi. Haizhou is located southwest of present-day Lianyungang Jiangsu Province.
Jing Shu Tower is located in the northeast of Haizhou. It was built by Ye Zuqia who admired the two Han scholars Shu Guang and Shu Shou.
Runzhou is present-day Zhenjiang Jiangsu Province. Chuzhou is present-day Huai'an Jiangsu Province. After leaving Haizhou Sun Juyuan traveled to Jiangsu Province and met Dongpo in Runzhou in October. Dongpo wrote the poem Runzhou Ganlu Shu Danzheng and the lyrics Cai Sang Zi: Runzhou Duo Jing Lou Yu Sun Juyuan Xiang Yu (recorded earlier). The two of them traveled together to Yangzhou and other places and then parted ways in Chuzhou.
November 15th: Could it be October 15th? The one was mistakenly added by later generations because Haizhou is more than 400 miles south of Muzhou and Su Shi had already arrived in Muzhou on November 3rd. Refer to Mr. Zhang Zhilie's Miscellaneous Discussion on Su Shi's Journey from Hangzhou to Muzhou (published in Dongpo Ci Lun Cong).
Prefect: In the Han Dynasty the head of a county was called a taishou. In the Song Dynasty counties were changed to prefectures or provinces and the officials in charge were called zhifu or zhizhou but the term taishou was still commonly used. This refers to the prefect who succeeded in Haizhou Chen Taishou (name unknown).
Three times: Refers to three full moons. Sun Juyuan left Haizhou on August 15th and Dongpo wrote this poem on October 15th seeing the moon full three times.
Solitary light: The light of the sun and moon here referring to moonlight. Tang Dynasty poet Jia Dao wrote in his poem In Response to Zhu Shiyu's Moon Gazing: Longing can only be found in the frosty moon on the terrace forgetting all the solitary light that has been seen and yet still appears.
