Lyrics
Personalize this songWhere the name comes from
Zihan (梓涵) pairs 梓 (zi), the catalpa tree - traditionally associated in Chinese literature with one's hometown - with 涵 (han), meaning 'to contain' or, more figuratively, 'cultivation' and 'tolerance.'
Why this moment matters
The same patch of moonlight falling in the same place every night is the kind of quiet, repeating detail that turns an ordinary room into a remembered one.
The story behind this song
Moonlight spills quietly over the old courtyard wall each night, falling in the same patient stripe across his window.
A bedtime song with a name in it
A slow lullaby built around one child's name: a good night song for bedtime, nap time and the last song of the day.
