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)

　　遠遠的街燈明了，

　　好像閃著無數的明星。

　　天上的明星現了，

　　好像點著無數的街燈。

　　我想那縹緲的空中，

　　定然有美麗的街市。

　　街市上陳列的一些物品，

　　定然是世上沒有的珍奇。

　　你看，那淺淺的天河，

　　定然是不甚寬廣。

　　那隔著河的牛郎織女，

　　定能夠騎著牛兒來往。

　　我想他們此刻，

　　定然在天街閑游。

　　不信，請看那朵流星，

　　是他們提著燈籠在走。
