> The hardest part of translating this poem was googling synonyms for 'melancholy.' I didn't know Chinese had so many ways to say 'sad, but in a romantic poet way,' and quite frankly, the English options are lacking.

Oh man, this annoys me so much about English. It takes words from *every other language*, and yet somehow, it NEVER has the word you're looking for. I have to coin new terms all the time.
