鹊桥仙 - Fairy of the Magpie Bridge

Yonder clouds weaving together
Amidst the flaming stars
Drifting along the heavenlies
Bringing two Lovers from afar

The Lovers’ rendezvous tonight
Adorned the autumn sky
No joy on earth e'en a hundred thousand times
May compare to the Lovers’ meeting eyes

Precious and tender, the Lovers’ love
‘twas like a beautiful beautiful dream
Yet gazing mournfully at the magpie bridge
That will set them apart again

But Eternal Lovers if they were so
Will time apart they not endure?

Translated from the work of 秦观 (Qin Guan -Song Dynasty AD1049-1100)
