A Kindred Soul in Lotus Dew
Ku Wuji · AI Music · 3 reads
Inspired by Meng Haoran's 《夏日南亭怀辛大》 (Thinking of Xin Da at the South Pavilion in Summer), these new lyrics tell of a qin in the South Pavilion waiting for a kindred spirit.
The qin in the South Pavilion still awaits someone who understands its music
Waiting for you to hear the wind settling into dew on bamboo

Lyrics
[Intro]
[Verse 1]
The mountain hues slowly retreat behind the night
The moon gently rises from beside the pond
I loosen my robes and hair to the coolness of evening
Let the bamboo leaves slowly bring the day's clamor to rest
[Pre-Chorus]
The lotus fragrance carries your name to my heart
Yet I cannot find a friend to share this moment with
[Chorus]
The qin in the South Pavilion still awaits someone who understands its music
Waiting for you to hear the wind settling into dew on bamboo
Not every quiet moment is best enjoyed alone
Some sights I long all the more to remember clearly with you
The qin in the South Pavilion still awaits someone who understands its music
May this summer night bring us closer together
[Instrumental Interlude]
[Verse 2]
My fingers rest on strings not yet sounded
A drop of dew gently awakens longing first
I bring our old laughter and conversations back beside me
As though the very next moment you will come walking down the path
[Pre-Chorus]
The lotus fragrance carries your name to my heart
Yet I cannot find a friend to share this moment with
[Chorus]
The qin in the South Pavilion still awaits someone who understands its music
Waiting for you to hear the wind settling into dew on bamboo
Not every quiet moment is best enjoyed alone
Some sights I long all the more to remember clearly with you
The qin in the South Pavilion still awaits someone who understands its music
May this summer night bring us closer together
[Bridge]
Friends need not appear every night
Can also become the first one I think of when I encounter something beautiful
If next time the moon shines on your window
Please listen as this song slowly comes ashore from afar
[Final Chorus]
The qin in the South Pavilion still awaits someone who understands its music
Waiting for you to hear the wind settling into dew on bamboo
Not every quiet moment is best enjoyed alone
Some sights I long all the more to remember clearly with you
The qin in the South Pavilion still awaits someone who understands its music
May this summer night bring us closer together
[Outro]
At last, a late-night dream opened the door for me
Once more I sit with you in a pavilion full of gentle wind
