Midnight Song Of Wu, A Chinese Poem Of Li Bai In Translation Poem by Ravi Kopra

In the Chang'an city
there is a full moon
in ten thousand homes
there are thumping sounds
people are beating
the clothes against stones
the autumn wind
is blowing relentlessly
and I think of Yuguan pass -
when will we put
the pillager Hu in the prison
for my husband
to end his long journey
and come home.

- rendered from a literal translation from the web pages:

Chang'an one disc moon
Ten thousand households pound clothes noise
Autumn wind blow no end
Always jade pass think
What day pacify Hu prisoner
Husband end long journey
