Bronze shimmer opens an unhurried waterway.

Mandarin gamelan art-pop direction · metallophones, gongs and soprano

The public text separates old-style passages, variation and refrain: lotus gatherers disappear laughing among flowers, then a later voice hides a name there. This mixed text is the basis of the introduction; added lines are not passed off as an ancient original or a real person’s biography.

The 96 BPM Balinese gamelan art-pop direction brings interlocking metallophones, bamboo xylophone, gongs, kendang and suling beside clear Mandarin soprano and female unison. Ringing resonance meets watery imagery; the instrumental direction does not make the language Balinese.

Read the lyrics
[Intro] 耶溪采蓮女, 水邊一聲歌。 [古意] 耶溪采蓮女, 見客棹歌回。 笑入荷花去, 佯羞不出來。 [間奏] [古意] 鏡湖水如月, 耶溪女似雪。 新妝蕩新波, 光景兩奇絕。 [Refrain] 笑入荷花去, 一聲歌聲回。 水如月,人如雪, 阿妹在風裏飛。 [Instrumental Interlude] [變奏] 小船搖過橋邊, 竹影落在眉間。 我把名字藏進蓮花, 等你聽見那一天。 [Final Refrain] 笑入荷花去, 一聲歌聲回。 水如月,人如雪, 阿妹在風裏飛。 [Outro] 耶溪水慢, 月色也慢。
