Do not fall in love with the moon

She is so very beautiful,
but she is so very distant.

My friend, you were right to say a bottle -
or two - may intoxicate,

but this intoxication wears off
when the morning breaks;

but to taste even one drop of love -
you are forever lost in its intoxication.

Do not fall in love with the moon,
she is so very beautiful,

but she is way beyond your grasp -
do not fall in love with her.
