English translation copied from the internet:
The lyric is based on an existing prose by a famous Chinese writer Su Shi (蘇軾; 1,063-1,101 AD) It was written during fullmoon in the annual Chinese Harvest Moon Holiday, when he was sharing drinks with friends, having already been sabotaged by his political rivals, fallen out of favor on his official post in Imperial China, and narrowly escaped a death sentence. I find Su Shi a personification of Taoism, humorous, gregarious, naturalist, etc., and this prose a writing of Taoist spirit...

"Since when has the bright moon been in existence?"
Asking the sky with wine in hand
Don't know in Heavenly Palace
Which year is tonight
I desire to ride the wind to return
Only fearing that of ethereal towers and jade bungalows
The higher ground is unbearably chilly
Starting to dance, creating a lone shadow
How likely is it being in humanity?
Revolving the red pagoda, through shaded windows, shines on the insomniac
Must not possess hatred, why do things often come to closure but at times of departure?
Men have sorrow, joy, separation and union
Moon has shade, sunny, full and depletion
Such thing is impossible of perfection since the ancient
Wishing that men live long
To enjoy the moon together although thousands of miles apart

Another translation from Baidu submitted by Fairetoeverybody

When will the moon be clear and bright?
With a cup of wine in my hand, I ask the blue sky.
I don't know what season it would be in the heavens on this night.
I'd like to ride the wind to fly home.
Yet I fear the crystal and jade mansions are much too high and cold for me.
Dancing with my moon-lit shadow
It does not seem like the human world
The moon rounds the red mansion Stoops to silk-pad doors
Shines upon the sleepless Bearing no grudge
Why does the moon tend to be full when people are apart?
People may have sorrow or joy, be near or far apart
The moon may be dim or bright, wax or wane
This has been going on since the beginning of time
May we all be blessed with longevity Though far apart, we are still able to share the beauty of the moon together.

明月几時有?把酒問青天。
不知天上宮闕,今夕是何年。
我欲乘風歸去,又恐瓊樓玉宇,高處不胜寒。
起舞弄清影,何似在人間?
  
轉朱閣,低綺戶,照無眠。
不應有恨,何事長向別時圓?
人有悲歡离合,月有陰晴圓缺,此事古難全。
但愿人長久,千里共嬋娟。
