Fairy Of The magpie Bridge
Among the beautiful clouds,
Over the heavenly river,
Crosses the weaving maiden.
A night of rendezvous,Across the autumn sky.
Surpasses joy on earth.
Moments of tender upendo and dream,
So sad to leave the magpie bridge.
Eternal upendo between us two,
Shall withstand the time apart
