I
sunrise/sunset Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

可不可以不想你
我需要振作一下
7 8 9 月的天氣
像我和你需要下一場雨

需要你 我是一隻魚
水裡的空氣
是你小心眼和壞脾氣
沒有你 像離開水的魚
快要活不下去
不能在一起游來游去

能不能讓你清醒
愛是快樂的事情
我只有真心而已
世界末日我都不會離去
需要你 我是一隻魚
水裡的空氣
是你小心眼和壞脾氣
沒有你 像離開水的魚
快要活不下去
不能在一起游來游去

我是一隻站在岸上的魚
如何能忘記曾經活在海裡
曾經我活在你的生命

需要你 我是一隻魚
水裡的空氣
是你小心眼和壞脾氣
沒有你 像離開水的魚




快要活不下去
為什麼不能在一起

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of "可不可以不想你" ("Can I Not Think of You") by Sunrise/Sunset, convey a sense of desperation and longing for someone who has left. The song addresses the feeling of needing someone so much that it becomes difficult to function without them. The singer refers to themselves as a fish, and their loved one as the air they need to breathe. The rain becomes a significant symbol of hope, as it represents the possibility of being reunited with their loved one.


The lyrics are powerful in that they convey a sense of vulnerability and need, and the pain that comes with missing someone intensely. The chorus, "需要你我是一隻魚,水裡的空氣,是你小心眼和壞脾氣" ("I need you, I am a fish, the air in the water is your careful eyes and bad temper"), is particularly poignant, as it highlights the fact that the person has become so integral to the singer's life, that they cannot imagine surviving without them.


Overall, the song is a touching portrayal of the depths of human emotion and the strong connections that we form with one another.

+Nicole Olivier yes, I know what you mean, As a Kid I ;loved this musical. I lived this man life and later worked 20 year in the USAF and 7 Year in Baghdad, Iraq when I discovered something quite shocking. I had wasted my life believing a huge lie on all western nations.... you will not understand my Warning if you do not see these two YOUTUBES... Everything we were taught is a LIE.

Fiddler on the roof is about Tragedy and lives taken and murdered.......Right?

Is this the little girl I carried 
Is this the little boy at play 
I don't remember growing older 
When did they 
When did she get to be a beauty 
When did he grow to be so tall 
Wasn't it yesterday 
When they were small 

Sunrise sunset 
Sunrise sunset 
Swiftly flow the days 
Seedlings turn overnight to sunflower. 
Blossoming even as we gaze 
Sunrise sunset 
Sunrise sunset 
Swiftly fly the years 
One season following another 
Laden with happiness and tears 

What words of wisdom can I give them 
How can I help to ease their way 
Now they must learn from one another 
Day by day 
They look so natural together 
just like the newly - weds should be 
Is there a canopy in store for me. 

Sunrise sunset...

Sunrise, sunset
Sunrise, sunset
Swiftly flow the days
Seedlings turn overnight to sunflowers
Blossoming even as we gaze
Sunrise, sunset
Sunrise, sunset
Swiftly fly the years
One season following another
Laiden with happiness and tears
What words of wisdom can I give them
How can I help to ease their way?
Now they must learn from one another
Day by day
They look so natural together
Just like two newlyweds should be
Is there a canopy in store for me?
Sunrise, sunset
Sunrise, sunset
Swiftly fly the years
One season following another
Laiden with happiness and tears

Chaim Topol has passed away this day at the age of 87. May he rest in peace. He will be missed for his talent, his performances, and goodwill. I saw him in a production of this show back in the 90's. I feel privileged to have been able to catch one of his many performances in that iconic role.

RIP Chaim Topol, may your memory be a blessing

@mstrainjr

This is such a powerful scene. I love the part when the camera is going to all the different faces in the crowd and you see the emotion on their faces. Such wonderful acting without a single word said.

@NickJay

+M. Strain Jr. I totally agree with you but the power of the song is amazing. I love it and so emotional. Like others I find it hard keeping the tears (of joy) back - beautiful.

@Ignauhak

The director has clearly done a good job here, because so much thought is eminating forth from their very eyes. He must have told them what to think and really allowed them time to let it consume them ^_^
