Chang’e your legend endures the passing of time

Ten suns scorch the earth bringing chaos to our lands

King Yao sent Hou Yi, lord archer, to reason with the sun

As the suns refused to heed, he shot them one by one

As they fell, they turned into three-legged ravens

As the last sun stood, so the last arrow disappeared

As a reward HouYi was granted the elixir of immortality

He didn’t take it for he wanted to stay with his beloved wife

On a hunting trip, his apprentice broke into his home

To prevent this crime, Chang’e herself took the elixir

She flew upwards, past the heavens

And chose the moon, as her residence

To live as near, to her loving husband

He couldn’t bear, with all the guilt

As he displayed, her favorite fruits and cakes

And the proceeded, to take his own life.

Chang’e your legend endures the passing of time

Chang’e your love remains still pure and fair

Chang’e goddess of the moon your beauty is astounding

Chang’e your selfish act was also an act of love
