尋半
(This is a movie theme song filled with an ancient and melancholic atmosphere, primarily featuring traditional East Asian instruments such as the guzheng, pipa, xiao, erhu, and dizi.) The lyrics are perfectly pronounced in Chinese, making it easy to sing along. The rich and varied timbre of the guzheng creates a deep atmosphere; the grand yet repetitive rhythmic percussion, syncopation and soft notes, appropriate modulations, and not overly regular rhythmic variations all produce low-pitched sounds and scale variations, creating a tense and resonant effect. The arrangement is perfect.

Lyrics
紅燭未燃先定名,
羅帕一覆是終身。
不識眉眼不知心,
一擲姻緣賭良人。
有人錦帳春風暖,
有人深院夜如冰,
同是出閣新嫁女,
命途只在一夫身。
【二】
世人笑我舊時女,
盲婚啞嫁太愚癡。
卻不見今朝紅塵裡,
盟誓如紙散如煙。
自由戀愛滿街是,
離合卻比舊時頻,
原來情字無新舊,
只是人心更難尋。
【三】
聽說亞當尋夏娃,
聽說夏娃也迷航,
人間萬對紅塵客,
都是半魂走四方。
我在人海尋我影,
你在誰夢喚誰名?
尋尋覓覓非為伴,
只為靈魂有回響。
【四】
曾經低眉信天命,
以為忍讓是賢良;
後來昂首學自主,
把天地握在掌。
不再等誰來成全,
不向良人問短長,
只是走得太驕傲,
也怕孤高成了傷。
【五】
我不是誰的附屬,
也非情愛的君王;
要愛便愛得清醒,
要離便離得堂皇。
若你恰是同路人,
並肩看月過蒼茫;
若不是我命中半,
我亦獨自成月光。
【尾聲】
原來幸福非制度,
也不在早或在遲,
盲嫁、自由皆是路,
終點只問心安之。
若有一日魂相認,
不必亞當不必娃,
你我對坐一盞茶,
便是人間最好的家。
--------------------------
【I】 Before the red candles are lit, names are sealed; a veil covers a lifetime.
Without knowing eyes or heart, a marriage is a gamble on a good husband.
Some enjoy warm spring breezes in brocade tents; others live in cold, icy nights in secluded courtyards.
Both are newlyweds, their fates tied to one husband.
【II】 The world laughs at me, a woman of the past; blind marriages and mute unions are too foolish.
But they don't see how in today's mortal world, vows are like paper, scattered like smoke.
Free love is everywhere; separations and reunions are more frequent than before.
It turns out love has no new or old meaning; it's just that the human heart is harder to find.
【III】 I heard Adam searched for Eve; I heard Eve also lost her way. Thousands of lovers in this mortal world are all half-souls wandering the world.
I search for my shadow in the sea of people; in whose dream do you call whose name?
Searching and searching, not for companionship; only for a soul's echo.
【IV】 Once, I bowed my head and believed in fate,
believing that forbearance was virtue;
Later, I raised my head and learned independence,
holding the world in my hands.
No longer waiting for anyone to fulfill my destiny,
no longer questioning my beloved's faults,
but walking too proudly,
I fear that solitude will become a wound.
【V】 I am not anyone's appendage,
nor am I the king of love;
If I love, I will love with clarity,
If I leave, I will leave with dignity.
If you are a fellow traveler,
we will watch the moon pass by in the vastness;
If you are not my destined one,
I will become the moonlight alone.
【Epilogue】 Happiness is not a system,
nor is it early or late,
Blind marriage, freedom are both paths,
The destination is only a peaceful heart.
If one day our souls recognize each other,
We need neither Adam nor Child,
We will sit together with a cup of tea,
That will be the best home in the world.
