The boat is midwater; the heart has reached home.
Mandarin chamber-folk direction · female voice · pipa, dizi, piano and cello
The song first closes the narrator’s eyes, then lets the wind open an inward wall. A childhood lamp, an old bridge and cool night air are more than a postcard: waiting for dawn, coming ashore and taking the old road connect remembrance to a next step.
The public chamber-folk direction lets pipa and dizi lead beside piano, cello and water-like soft strings, with graceful restrained female phrasing. A broad interlude and gently fading tail leave breath around water, corridors and memory.

[Intro]
月光落荷塘,
风里有花香。
[Verse 1]
小船离了岸,
水路去何方。
一支竹篙慢,
拨开满池光。
远处谁家唱,
声音过回廊。
我闭上眼睛,
又见旧村庄。
[Pre-Chorus]
这些年的远方,
都比不上那扇窗。
[Chorus]
月照荷塘,梦回故乡,
一叶小船停在水中央。
风吹荷香,吹过衣裳,
也吹开我心里那道墙。
月照荷塘,夜色微凉,
谁在岸边轻轻把我望。
等天一亮,等船靠岸,
我要沿着旧路走一趟。
[Instrumental Interlude: pipa, dizi, piano, cello and soft strings]
[Verse 2]
旧桥还在等,
石阶生了霜。
儿时那盏灯,
仍在水边亮。
[Final Chorus]
月照荷塘,梦回故乡,
一叶小船停在水中央。
等天一亮,等船靠岸,
我要沿着旧路走一趟。
[Outro]
月光落荷塘,
风里有花香。
