《好了歌》(Won - Done Song)
A traditional Chinese folk song with a slow tempo and a melancholic mood. The instrumentation features a plucked string instrument, possibly a guzheng or pipa, playing a prominent melodic line with a tremolo effect. A bowed string instrument, likely an erhu, provides a sustained, expressive counter-melody. Percussion is minimal, consisting of a soft, resonant drum hit at key melodic points. The male lead vocal is delivered in a clear, slightly nasal tone, characteristic of traditional Chinese singing, with a vibrato. The female lead vocal is also clear and expressive, with a similar vibrato. The song structure is verse-based, with a recurring melodic theme. The harmony is modal, typical of East Asian music, without a strong Western-style chord progression. The production emphasizes the acoustic instruments and vocals, with a natural reverb that creates a spacious and reflective atmosphere. The tempo is approximately 60 BPM. The key appears to be in a minor mode, contributing to the somber feel.

Lyrics
世人都曉神仙好，惟有功名忘不了！
古今將相在何方？荒冢一堆草沒了。
[Verse 2]
世人都曉神仙好，只有金銀忘不了！
終朝只恨聚無多，及到多時眼閉了。
[Verse 3]
世人都曉神仙好，只有嬌妻忘不了！
君生日日說恩情，君死又隨人去了。
[Verse 4]
世人都曉神仙好，只有兒孫忘不了！
痴心父母古來多，孝順兒孫誰見了？
[instrumental climax]
English lyrics:
Verse 1
Men all know that salvation should be won,
But with ambition won't have done, have done.
Where are the famous ones of days gone by?
In grassy graves they lie now, every one.
Verse 2
Men all know that salvation should be won,
But with their riches won't have done, have done.
Each day they grumble they've not made enough,
When they've enough, it's goodnight every one.
Verse 3
Men all know salvation should be won,
But with their loving wives they won't have done.
The darlings every day protest their love;
But once you're dead, they're off with another one.
Verse 4
Men all know that salvation should be won,
But with their children won't have done, have done.
Yet though of parents fond there is no lack,
Of grateful children saw I ne'er a one.
