The Magpie-Bridge Legend
Chin Guan (1048-1100)
鵲橋仙
秦觀 (1048-1100)
Fairy Of The Magpie Bridge
Among the beautiful clouds,
Over the heavenly river,
Crosses the weaving maiden.
織云弄巧
飛星傳恨
銀漢迢迢暗度
A night of rendezvous,
Across the autumn sky.
Surpasses joy on earth.
金風(fēng)玉露一相逢
便勝卻人間無數(shù)
Moments of tender love and dream,
So sad to leave the magpie bridge.
柔情似水
佳期如夢
忍顧鵲橋歸路
Eternal love between us two,
Shall withstand the time apart.
(Translated by Kylie Hsu)
兩情若是久長時(shí)
又豈在朝朝暮暮
