Incense from the Jade Burner · Lingwan

玉炉香·灵婉

Red wax weeps before a rain-dark window and the night seems to have no end. Wen Tingyun turns longing into a room that grows colder; Lingwan follows each drop through the wutong leaves until the approach of dawn.

Lyrics

[Intro]玉爐香,紅蠟淚,偏照畫堂秋思。[原词]玉爐香,紅蠟淚,偏照畫堂秋思。眉翠薄,鬢雲殘,夜長衾枕寒。梧桐樹,三更雨,不道離情正苦。一葉葉,一聲聲,空階滴到明。[Instrumental Interlude][Refrain]一葉葉,一聲聲,紅蠟照到天将明。夜長衾枕寒如水,三更雨裡听離情。[原词 Reprise]梧桐樹,三更雨,不道離情正苦。一葉葉,一聲聲,空階滴到明。[Outro]玉爐香,紅蠟淚。

WHY THIS SONG EXISTS · CULTURE IN MOTION

Hear the crossing without erasing either shore.

01 · FROM RED WAX TO DAWN

Red wax, a cold quilt and rain through the wutong

红蜡、寒衾与梧桐雨:一间越听越冷的屋子

Wen Tingyun begins close to the body: incense burner, wax tears, painted hall, brows and loosened hair keep the listener indoors. In the second half, third-watch rain crosses the wutong tree and strikes the empty steps, leaf by leaf and sound by sound. The viewpoint stays still while hearing widens the room. Longing becomes a cold body, an unfinished night and rain counting time. Lingwan carries each short phrase like a drop, turning silence into part of the story.

02 · A VOICE IN THE NIGHT

Guqin, pipa and soft strings carry the returning rain

古琴、琵琶与轻弦,托住一叶一声的回环

A delicate, clear voice with guqin, pipa and soft strings keeps the poem close to its room and its solitary listener. The original text unfolds in marked sections, while a contemporary refrain returns to the image of rain falling leaf by leaf, sound by sound, and red wax burning toward dawn. The returning melody does not dissolve loneliness; it lets each breath inside the long night be heard.

03 · THE LYRIC FILM

A red candle beside the rain-dark window

雨窗前的一支红烛,守到歌声最后

The complete lyric film pairs rain on a window with a red candle burning on the table. Captions travel from the jade burner and wax tears through the poem and refrain, then return to the opening line. The still image meets Lingwan's small vocal turns and lingering ending—a companion for a night in which rain and private thoughts are allowed to stay.
