Chamber folk, close-mic female mezzo-soprano in a comfortable middle register, Chinese vocals with clear diction, relaxed breaths, natural phrase turns and restrained cadence vibrato; Rhodes and zhongruan share a small hook, with sparse vibraphone and tin-whistle replies, warm bass and soft brushes. Close modest-room analog warmth; light, easy three-beat sway. Instrumental intro and interlude, thin bridge, gently opening final refrain, resolved instrumental outro.
Lyrics & section notes
[Instrumental Intro]
[Verse 1]
不尚賢,使民不爭;不貴難得之貨,使民不為盜;不見可欲,使民心不亂。
是以聖人之治,虛其心,實其腹,
弱其志,強其骨。
常使民無知無欲。
使夫智者不敢為也。
為無為,則無不治。
[Instrumental Interlude]
[Final Reprise]
不尚賢,使民不爭;不貴難得之貨,使民不為盜;不見可欲,使民心不亂。
是以聖人之治,虛其心,實其腹,
弱其志,強其骨。
常使民無知無欲。
使夫智者不敢為也。
為無為,則無不治。
[Instrumental Outro]
