damdaki kemanci filmindeki evlenme sahnesindeki soylenen ve dinledigi vakit sanki insanin ruhunu bedeninden alip cenneteymis hissetiren sarkidir . sozleri ise :

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 this tall?
wasn't it yesterday when they were small?

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,
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 two newlyweds should be.
is there a canopy in store for me?

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,
laden with happiness and tears.
bright eyes şarkısı.

sunrise, sunset, sunrise, sunset
swiftly go the days
sunrise, sunset, you wake up then you undress
it always is the same
the sunrise and a sun sets
you are lying while you confess
keep trying to explain
the sunrise and the sun sets
you realize and then you forget
what you have been trying to retain
but everybody knows it's all about the things
that get stuck inside of your head
like the songs your roommate sings
or a vision of her body as she stretches out on your bed
she raises her hands in the air
asks you "when was the last time you looked in the mirror?
cause you've changed, yeah, you've changed"
the sunrise, the sunset, you're hopeful and then you regret
the circle never breaks
with a sunrise and sunset, there's a change of heart or address
is there nothing that remains?
for a sunrise or a sunset, you're manic or you’re depressed
will you ever feel ok?
for a sunrise or a sunset, your lover is an actress
did you really think she'd stay?
for a sunrise or a sunset, you're either coming or you just left
but you're always on the way
towards a sunrise or a sunset, a scribble or a sonnet
they are really just the same
to the sunrise or the sunset, the master and his servant
have exactly the same fate
it’s a sunrise and a sunset, from a cradle to a casket
there is no way to escape
the sunrise or the sunset, hold your sadness like a puppet
keep putting on the play
but everything you do is leading to the point
where you just won’t know what to do
and the moment that you're laughing
there is someone there who will be laughing louder than you
so it’s true, the trick is complete
you've become everything you said you never would be
you’re a fool, you're a fool
sunrise, sunset, sunrise, sunset
the sunrise and the sun sets
sunrise, sunset, the sunrise, the sun sets
the sunrise, the sun sets
sunrise, sunset, go home to your apartment
put the cassette in the tape
deck and let that fever play
sunrise, sunset, where are you, arienette?
where are you, arienette?
damdaki kemancidaki sütcü teyve'nin büyük kizini evlendirdiği vakit söylediği ve benim naciz cevirimle türkçe mealini sunmakla fevkalade mesut oldugum sarkidir:

bu benim mi kizim?
bu ufak cocukla mi oynuyordu?
nasil buyuduklerini hatirlayamiyorum
ne zaman buyuduler?
ne zaman bu kadar güzel oldu?
bu cocuk ne zaman bu kadar uzadi?
bunlar daha dun ufacik değil miydi?

güneş doğar ve batar
güneş doğar ve batar
gunler ahenkle değisir.
fidanlar geceleri ayciceği olur,
sadece ufacık bir günde
gunes dogar ve batar
yillar ucar gider.
bir mevsim diğerini kovalar
huznu ve nesesi ile

hangi bilgece değisleri söylemeliyim?
nasil ömür yollarini kolayca arşinlamalari için
yardim edebilirim?
ama digeri birbirine yardim edecek ve ögretecek,
gunler geçtikce.
ne kadar da masum gözüküyorlar.
yeni evlilere ne kadar benziyorlar
acaba göklerde benim için bir sans var mi?

günes dogar ve batar
günes dogar ve batar
gunler ahenkle değisir
tohumlar geceleri ayciceği olur
sadece ufacik bir günde.
günes dogar ve batar
yillar ucar gider
bir mevsim diğerini kovalar
huznu ve nesesi ile
