Natural language to SQL (NL2SQL) provides an intuitive interface for querying structured data, yet real user questions are often noisy, ambiguous, and weakly grounded to database semantics.As a result, token-level schema linking and single-pass SQL decoding can be brittle: small misunderstandings in language or schema grounding may propagate into incorrect generation.We present QBridge, an agentic, feedback-driven NL2SQL framework based on a Refined Gold Query Paradigm, which bridges natural language and SQL via Gold Query-a structured, SQL-aligned intermediate representation.A core insight of QBridge is Distilled Back-Translation (DBT) for SL-independent rewriting.DBT converts SQL-grounded supervision into execution-verified Gold-Querystyle rewrites from a teacher model, and distills a lightweight, plug-and-play rewriter that generates schema-aware rewrites without requiring explicit schema linking at inference.QBridge then (i) verifies and conservatively refines the rewrite into a high-fidelity Refined Gold Query, and (ii) refines the generated SQL with dual feedback from execution validity and semantic consistency, enabling interpretable self-correction while remaining compatible with diverse SQL backbones.Extensive experiments on Spider, BIRD, and three robustness variants demonstrate that QBridge consistently improves zero-shot NL2SQL, outperforming strong prompting and agentic baselines while showing strong robustness and generalization.Code and data are available at https: //github.com/WannaBSteve/QBridge.
