鹊桥仙·纤云弄巧
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。
Delicate clouds weave their art; the flying stars carry the grief; far, far the Silver River is crossed in secret. One meeting in the golden autumn wind and jade-like dew surpasses countless meetings in the human world.
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。
Tender feeling like water, the glad season like a dream — how can I bear to look back along the magpie bridge's road home? If the love of two hearts can but last long, why need they be together morning after morning, night after night?
