Scooter lamps across the crossing, Mountain clouds beyond the street, Taipei holds the changing weather Like a fragrance left to steep. [VERSE 2 — MALE, RESONANT BASS] Steam ascending from the porcelain, Pipa ringing soft and low, Every leaf releases something Only patient hands can know. Osmanthus upon the evening, Rain against the market glass, Underneath the city's movement, Quiet melodies still pass. [PRE-CHORUS — INTERWOVEN LEADS] [FEMALE] Let the water find its heat. [MALE] Let the strings begin to speak. [FEMALE] Let the golden flowers rise. [MALE] Let the rain remake the skies. [BOTH] Every note grows warm and deep; Let the city slowly steep. [CHORUS — BOTH, LUMINOUS DEEP HOUSE] Let the city steep, Taipei, Oolong rising through the rain. Osmanthus in the evening, Golden petals on the lane. Let the city steep, Taipei, Let the silver water shine; Every fragrance has a rhythm, Every rhythm takes its time. [INSTRUMENTAL — TAIWANESE FOLK-ELECTRONICA] [PIPA PLUCKS; XIAO FLUTE MELODY] [DEEP HOUSE BASS; PRECISE SOFT PERCUSSION] [THREE-NOTE MOTIF PASSES BETWEEN INSTRUMENTS] [32 BARS — NO VOCALS] [VERSE 3 — MALE, WARM AND INTIMATE] P.Seven upon the counter, Tea remembered through perfume, Oolong in a slender bottle, Rainlight moving through the room. Aged Tea, another chapter, Years imagined in a scent; What the leaves release in silence Cannot tell us where it went. [VERSE 4 — FEMALE, FLOATING SOPRANO] Golden osmanthus by the window, Tea leaves opening in the heat, Rainfall makes the glass a mirror, Turns the traffic into beat. Far above the crowded rooftops, Clouds conceal the mountain blue; Still the fragrance finds its passage, Still the melody comes through. [MANDARIN REFRAIN — ALTERNATING SUNG LEADS] [FEMALE] 茶香飄過雨中的街 Chá xiāng piāo guò yǔ zhōng de jiē [MALE] 桂花輕輕伴著夜 Guì huā qīng qīng bàn zhe yè [FEMALE] 台北的雨慢慢落下 Táiběi de yǔ màn màn luò xià [MALE] 心中的歌不會停歇 Xīn zhōng de gē bú huì tíng xiē [BOTH] 一杯茶，一座城 Yì bēi chá, yí zuò chéng [CHORUS — BOTH, WIDE HARMONIES] Let the city steep, Taipei, Oolong rising through the rain. Osmanthus in the evening, Golden petals on the lane. Let the city steep, Taipei, Let the silver water shine; Every fragrance has a rhythm, Every rhythm takes its time.

Osmanthus in the evening, Golden petals on the lane. Let the city steep, Taipei, Let the silver water shine; Every fragrance has a rhythm, Every rhythm takes its time.
