《鹊桥仙》原是为咏牛郎、织女的爱情故事而创作的乐曲。秦观的《鹊桥仙·纤云弄巧》内容也正是咏此神话。上片写佳期相会的盛况，下片则是写依依惜别之情。
鹊桥仙·纤云弄巧
宋代：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。(度 通：渡)
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。
译文
纤薄的云彩在天空中变幻多端，天上的流星传递着相思的愁怨，遥远无垠的银河今夜我悄悄渡过。在秋风白露的七夕相会，就胜过尘世间那些长相厮守却貌合神离的夫妻。
共诉相思，柔情似水，短暂的相会如梦如幻，分别之时不忍去看那鹊桥路。只要两情至死不渝，又何必贪求卿卿我我的朝欢暮乐呢。
英译
Fairy of the Magpie Bridge
by Qin Guan(1049-1100)
Thin clouds are creating works delicate;
Falling stars carry sorrows deep.
Over the vast, vast Milky Way,
Cowherd and Weaving Girl quietly meet.
Meeting in such a clear and sweet autumn night,
The rendezvous outshines many a worldly date.
Tenderness flows in the soul’s retreat;
Sweet hours melt their hearts away.
The short-lived Magpie Bridge is unbearable to see,
For on the magpie-paved bridge parting comes in haste.
Ah, so long as love keeps,
What differs, missing each other day after day!
