这条英文歌词的公开构思放在中国古风空间里,以旦角声韵、古筝琶音和二胡应答为方向。60–65 BPM、铃声与刷鼓是创作线索,不是逐项听辨或演唱者身份的证明;古风风格不把英文原词改成中文。

[Verse 1]
White moon on the eaves,
silver on the pond.
My sleeve holds the wind,
my heart holds your name.
A lantern sways once,
then the courtyard is still.
[Pre-Chorus]
I walk by the screen,
past the cold carved stone.
The ink on your letter
has not dried in my hands.
One step, then another—
the gate feels so far.
[Chorus]
Moon over lotus gate,
shine on my waiting face.
Moon over lotus gate,
carry my vow tonight.
If you turn, if you turn,
follow this one song home.
Moon over lotus gate,
keep my love in sight.
[Verse 2]
The silk fan falls quiet,
resting by the bed.
I trace old brush marks
where your sleeve once lay.
A gecko on the wall
calls out into the dark.
[Pre-Chorus]
I listen for hooves
on the jade-paved road.
I listen for breath
at the wooden door.
One word, then one glance—
the world would change.
[Chorus]
Moon over lotus gate,
shine on my waiting face.
Moon over lotus gate,
carry my vow tonight.
If you turn, if you turn,
follow this one song home.
Moon over lotus gate,
keep my love in sight.
[Bridge]
When dawn brushes the tiles,
I still will not sleep.
Even if the river
takes your shadow away,
my voice will cross water,
my heart will remain.
[Final Chorus]
Moon over lotus gate,
shine on my waiting face.
Moon over lotus gate,
carry my vow tonight.
If you turn, if you turn,
follow this one song home.
Moon over lotus gate,
keep my love in sight.
Moon over lotus gate,
I will be your light.
