Alan Dawa Dolma Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

看 大江东去 浪花淘尽千古英雄
笑 指点江山 是非成败俱灰飞烟灭
此地一为别
青山旧 雨初歇 豪情却 向谁说

机遇难赊 东风且暂借
流年似水 足印难重叠
赤壁难辨 风流云散处
只剩下当时明月
枉海阔天空 故人不曾入梦
几度夕阳红 晚钟

分久必合 合久必分
暂寄天地之间敌友难分
多情应笑我华发生
但为君故独沉吟至今
一时瑜亮 一壶酒 万古销沉
人道是 分久必合 合久必分
和你终须一别 秋月春风残雪

枉海阔天空 故人不曾入梦
几度夕阳红 晚钟

分久必合 合久必分
暂寄天地之间敌友难分
多情应笑我华发生
但为君故独沉吟至今
一时瑜亮 一壶酒 万古销沉
人道是 分久必合 合久必分
和你终须一别

分久必合 合久必分
暂寄天地之间主客难分
多情应笑我华发生
但为君故独沉吟至今
一时瑜亮 一壶酒 戎马一生




人道是 分久必合 合久必分
人生纵使一别 天涯共此明月

Overall Meaning

The song "Sign" by Alan Dawa Dolma is a reflection on the cyclical nature of life and relationships. The opening lines set a melancholic tone, as the singer muses on the passing of great heroes and the inevitable transience of even the most impressive accomplishments. The refrain "分久必合,合久必分" (fēn jiǔ bì hé, hé jiǔ bì fēn) - "separated for long, must reunite; together for long, must part" - serves as a reminder of the impermanence of all things.


The lyrics also touch on the theme of missed opportunities and unfulfilled desires. The lines "赤壁难辨 风流云散处 / 只剩下当时明月" (chì bì nán biàn fēng liú yún sàn chù / zhǐ shèng xià dāng shí míng yuè) describe a scene where the singer is left with only memories of a past love, as the winds of time scatter their romance to the winds.


Overall, the song is a poignant meditation on the fleeting nature of life and love, and the importance of cherishing the present moment.
