【鹊桥仙】宋◆秦观 英译

The Fairy Magpie Flyover

The gracile clouds are ingeniously up for you, 

The shooting star conveys grief of parting due,

Secretly they have passed  the Milky Way in lieu.

Like autumn breeze coming across sparkling dew,

The reunion makes the innumerable in the world subdued.

 

The feeling is as tender as water,

Which brings in a lovely time dreamers.

It's unbearable to return by the Magpie Flyover

Shall love between the two be forever,

Why only care lingering at morning and night together.

【鹊桥仙】宋◆秦观

纤云弄巧，飞星传恨，银汉迢迢暗度。
金风玉露一相逢，便胜却、人间无数。

柔情似水，佳期如梦，忍顾鹊桥归路。
两情若是久长时，又岂在、朝朝暮暮。
