鹊桥仙

Tune: “Immortal at the Magpie Bridge”

秦观

By Qin Guan

纤云弄巧，
飞星传恨，
银汉迢迢暗渡。
金风玉露一相逢，
便胜却人间无数。

Beautiful shapes the rosy clouds show;
Shooting stars convey yearning and woe.
They secretly travel through the Milky Way.
Once they meet on the Double-Seventh day,
Their bliss is more than the mortal world can say.

柔情似水，
佳期如梦，
忍顾鹊桥归路！
两情若是长久时，
又岂在朝朝暮暮！

Their love is like a tender stream,
Their tryst is like a beautiful dream.
Unbearable to see the homeward way!
If their true love could last for aye,
No need to be together night and
