雙魚鎖未啟 · The Double-Fish Lock Unopened

A love-and-separation song set at dusk in a west-wing chamber, where a double-fish bronze lock remains closed after one key leaves with the beloved. Muted guzheng plucks echo the latch; sparse guqin and low xiao leave room for a female silk-and-ink vocal. Listen at the close of day, when waiting has become a promise rather than a question.

[Intro / 引子] 西廂日欲沉 簾影入苔陰 雙魚鎖未啟 一鑰隔重岑

[Verse 1 / 主歌一] 昔日同看鎖 笑指雙魚紋 君攜西去鑰 我守暮門陰

[Chorus / 副歌] 雙魚鎖未開 鎖住舊時門 一鑰隨君遠 一心守此門 欲啟無人應 欲閉不忍聞

[Verse 2 / 主歌二] 日落幾番後 苔痕上鎖紋 每聽門外響 還疑君叩扉

[Chorus / 副歌] 雙魚鎖未開 鎖住舊時門 一鑰隨君遠 一心守此門 欲啟無人應 欲閉不忍聞

[Bridge / 過渡] 若君他日返 莫問鎖生苔 但把門輕叩 我當為君開

[Final Chorus / 尾副歌] 雙魚鎖欲開 只待故人歸 一鑰隨君遠 一心守此門 若聞門外叩 便認舊時音

[Outro / 尾聲] 日沉鎖影長 西廂仍掩扉 雙魚相對守 待君到曉昏
