How it's used
While 詞譜 technically refers to the lyrics or the text of a song, it is quite formal and rarely heard in casual daily speech. Most people simply use 歌詞 to refer to song lyrics. Using 詞譜 might sound like you are discussing music theory or traditional Chinese poetry structures.

Common mistake
Learners often confuse this with 樂譜, which refers to musical notation or sheet music. 詞譜 focuses on the words, whereas 樂譜 focuses on the melody and notes.
