斷錦秋燈 · Autumn Lamp over Severed Brocade
An original 古風 song for love & separation (round 7): an autumn loom room, half-finished brocade, cold scissors and geese beyond the west window. Konghou leads the thread-like motion, with guqin, erhu and distant xiao around restrained female silk-and-ink vocals. Literary Chinese lyrics, pentatonic-influenced melody, 172 seconds.
Today's song returns to the love & separation cycle with a smaller room than the grief can fill: an autumn loom, an unfinished brocade, cold scissors, and geese passing the west window before dawn. Konghou leads the thread-like motion, with guqin, erhu, and distant xiao around a restrained female vocal line.
The lyric turns on one act of refusal: the singer will not cut the remaining silk. If the beloved returns, the broken pattern must still know his hand.
Lyrics
引子
秋燈一點照空機
半幅雲紋未作衣
金剪寒生蘭麝冷
雁聲先過小窗西
主歌一
君去關河水驛遲
妾留殘線度霜時
玉梭不語蛛絲細
舊佩微鳴似喚誰
副歌一
斷錦兮，莫續離思
續得鴛鴦不見歸期
燈花落，影成雙
一在羅帷一在長堤
主歌二
曉鏡塵封眉未掃
青衫別後夢偏稀
爐香欲盡猶含火
怕聽東風問歸期
轉
若逢南雁過衡陽
寄語郎君莫折枝
妾有寸心縫不得
夜深還向斷紋垂
副歌二
斷錦兮，莫續離思
續得春山不見歸期
寒釭盡，曙色微
一線啼痕繫到江湄
尾聲
收梭不忍剪殘絲
留與歸人認舊時
明朝若問燈前事
但看羅紋少一枝
