The Celestial Downtown Streets

　　Streetlight is on from far away,

　　Like numberless flashing stars.

　　Stars appear in the sky,

　　Like lighting unnumbered street lamps.

　　I think in that misty sky

　　There are certainly beautiful downtown streets.

　　Where some goods exhibiting,

　　Such rare goods that this world hardly contains.

　　Lo! That shallow celestial river,

　　Certainly is not so wide.

　　The Cowboy and Girl Weaver on its opposite sides,

　　Can certainly come and go across it, riding on a cow.

　　I think they, now,

　　Must be wandering in the Heaven Street.

　　If disbelieving, please looking at that meteor,

　　It is that they are walking, carrying a lantern.

　　In a Chinese legend they were once a happy couple and became stars

　　separated by the celestial river. They can meet only once a year on the

　　seventh day of the seventh moon in lunar calendar when magpies fly

　　together to form a bridge over the celestial river.

　　天上的街市(郭沫若)

　　远远的街灯明了，

　　好像闪着无数的明星。

　　天上的明星现了，

　　好像点着无数的街灯。

　　我想那缥缈的空中，

　　定然有美丽的街市。

　　街市上陈列的一些物品，

　　定然是世上没有的珍奇。

　　你看，那浅浅的天河，

　　定然是不甚宽广。

　　那隔着河的牛郎织女，

　　定能够骑着牛儿来往。

　　我想他们此刻，

　　定然在天街闲游。

　　不信，请看那朵流星，

　　是他们提着灯笼在走。
