Oars, roof tiles and lanterns open a Jiangnan night, leaving an old song without goodbye on the water.

The boat moves away; the dream keeps a shore.

Mandarin Chinese-folk direction · plucked strings and a water-town setting

The refrain breaks a round moon with the oars and recognises the past in a reflection. One backward glance outweighs a thousand summers, but the ending does not say she stays. The boat has gone; the dream still docks. Landscape holds both the present water town and memory unwilling to travel far.

The published Chinese-folk direction centres plucked strings; the lyric requests pipa and water ambience at the opening, with simple recurring melodic lines. Follow the contrast between a short night and a long warm dream. These are source arrangement ideas, not an independently verified instrument inventory.

Read the lyrics
[Intro – instrumental] (琵琶轻拨,水声氛围,10小节) [Verse 1] 小船摇过江南 水声细细软软 姑娘立在船头 裙角沾了云烟 [Chorus] 橹声摇碎月圆 摇进谁的心间 水乡的夜很短 梦却很长很暖 若你掬水照脸 水里都是从前 [Verse 2] 青瓦滴着雨点 石阶长了苔藓 她哼一支老歌 歌里没有再见 [Bridge] 风起了 水皱了脸 灯笼红了堤岸 她回头那一眼 胜过千百个夏天 [Chorus] 橹声摇碎月圆 摇进谁的心间 水乡的夜很短 梦却很长很暖 若你掬水照脸 水里都是从前 [Outro] (橹声渐远) 船过江南 梦还靠岸
