Moonlight Fills the World
Ku Wuji · AI Music · 4 reads
Beginning with the Mid-Autumn moonlit night and longing for a younger brother in Su Shi's “To the Tune of Shuidiao Getou,” the song moves from raising a cup to question the moon to sleeplessness and the lights of the human world. It sings of the difficulty of perfect reunions, sharing the moon from two distant places, and sending wishes for peace and well-being. Two solo renditions follow the same moonlight, preserving the lingering ache of longing and the warmth of good wishes.
A clear, round moon shines on the sleepless
Across ten thousand miles of clear moonlight, we share this full moon

Lyrics
[Verse One]
The moon's reflection in my cup seems about to float into the sky
Tonight's clear moonlight marks another year
I raise my cup to question the moon among the clouds
I rise to dance, clear moonlight falling beside my sleeves
[Lead-in]
Who will keep me company in those jade towers on high
Better the lamplight here in the human world
[Chorus]
A clear, round moon shines on the sleepless
Across ten thousand miles of clear moonlight, we share this full moon
Reunions and partings seldom go as we wish
For now, entrust this longing to strings and pipes
愿君岁岁身长健 (May you stay healthy year after year)
Through our separate windows, we gaze at the same moon high in the sky
[Interlude]
[Verse 2]
The moon moves past the vermilion pavilion to the window
Still sleepless, and the night is already late
Coming together and parting have never followed a fixed course
Why demand perfection this night alone
[Lead-in]
Who will keep me company in those jade towers on high
Better the lamplight here in the human world
[Chorus]
A clear, round moon shines on the sleepless
Across ten thousand miles of clear moonlight, we share this full moon
Reunions and partings seldom go as we wish
For now, entrust this longing to strings and pipes
愿君岁岁身长健 (May you stay healthy year after year)
Through our separate windows, we gaze at the same moon high in the sky
[Bridge]
I once sought a home in the high heavens
I turn back, and the lights are the human world
Clouds pass over the empty courtyard, now bright, now dark
留取相思度岁年 (Keep this longing to carry you through the years)
[Final Chorus]
A clear, round moon shines on the sleepless
Across ten thousand miles of clear moonlight, we share this full moon
Reunions and partings seldom go as we wish
For now, entrust this longing to strings and pipes
愿君岁岁身长健 (May you stay healthy year after year)
Through our separate windows, we gaze at the same moon high in the sky
[Outro]
From afar I know you are looking toward me now
A cup of clear moonlight reaches the pillow
