(Sung by Men)

Tonight,the moon is bright,

Shining as bright as a mirror,

Shining down everywhere!

I pursue you so desperately.

I am as useless as the water that leaks through the walls of a rice paddy,

I am like a buffalo pastured alone in the mountains,

humbly chewing the parched grass.

Filled with sorrow,I sigh;

Choking,I weep.

I compete for food with chickens.

They nibble the grains of rice,

While I’m left eating the chaff.

How ashamed I am,

Such a poor excuse for a man.
