海内存知己,天涯若比邻。
A bosom friend afar brings distance near.
在天愿做比翼鸟,在地愿为连理枝。
In heaven let us be two birds flying ever together, and on earth two trees with branches interlocked forever.
相见时难别亦难。
It is unbearable to meet as well as to depart.
但愿人长久,千里共婵娟。
We wish each other a long life so as to share the beauty of this graceful moonlight, even though miles apart.
