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.
As a London Taxi Driver I had the pleasure of picking up Topol together with his wife Galia. That journey will always stay with me. What an absolute gentleman. RIP.

Thank you very much for writing the lyrics of this wonderful song, it has always been very special to me since my daughter was very young I always thought that when she married someday this would be the song of her wedding ceremony, now next spring she will be marry and this will be the wedding song.
+Jane Chirhart Oh, those are wonderful news... :-) I'm very happy to be able to read it... :-) I love this song from my childhood, too... :-) For the first time I saw "The Fiddler On The Roof" in the age of 11... It was 1986 exactly... From that time I watched this marvellous musical ten times at least... :-) I almost know it by heart... :-) The most beautiful memory of my early youth... :-) Are you Jewish, Jane? :-)
+Hubert Prętkiewicz Thank you posting the lyrics. I saw the film in a cinema on a school field trip in '72. In 2005 I sang this song when I went to pick up my eldest daughter at the airport. Today she''s coming to see her little sister, and I'm singing it again with tears in my eyes.
I cannot NOT cry at this song. Across all generations and cultures; this perfectly fits (almost) every wedding and the parents feeling for their young.
+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 RUclipsS... Everything we were taught is a LIE. Benjamin Freeman 1961 Speech And In the shadow of Hermes.... ( the truth about the Soviet Revolution of 1917) Fiddler on the roof is about Tragedy and lives taken and murdered.......Right?
Wrong! "Fiddler on the Roof" is a celebration of love and life. All of us share the same destiny, death. Despite that reality and the joy and sorrow we are bound to encounter, while we live, love.
As a youth I loved this song but now as an octogenarian great grandfather I love it even more. The human race will continue after I am gone, just like it always has. Mazel Tov to my descendants.
Chaim Topol, the Israeli actor who plays the role of Tebia is 81 years old now, he lives here in israel and he built a special recovering place for children with diseases and he manages the place. He is a good and special and talented person, also draws very well.
+Abram in Wonderland In Hebrew it is Tuvia, which is the original name Mr. Wonderland. So the spelling in English is not that important. These are two words together: good and god. the good of god.
I remember watching this movie in 1972. I watched it in awe. I couldn't wait to see it again. Every person who acted in the film was perfect for the role. Exceptional!
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.
+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.
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 ^_^
This scene is beautiful in so many ways, so many different emotions captured. Happiness, regret, joy, sadness, nostalgia, hope. The director did an amazing job bringing all those things together with the music.
My wife of 21 years died on November 17th 2018. This was our favourite musical, and I'm not normally a fan of musicals but this one is our special magic. I wouldn't have found it without her. Sleep well, Rhona.
I remember the song coming out when I was a teenager. I kind of liked it because it had a pleasant melody, and I only paid passing attention to the lyrics as I could not really relate to them. But as a father and a grandfather some 40 plus years later, I see my children with their own families, this song takes on a new meaning.
Bill, I’m 83 y/o and I can tell you this: time absolutely flies! Good or bad…. It seems to fly without mercy! Where is everyone I loved and who loved me? “If we could do it all again, could we, would we?” How many hugs and kisses and please and thank you we would like to have given! Blessings to you. ❤️
My father and I danced to “Sunrise, Sunset “ at my wedding. Over thirty years later, he’s gone, too young, my sons are grown, one is married, and I understand the lyrics to the song.
My grandfather would sing this at weddings. (He was an opera singer, and he used to do gigs with my grandmother, a violinist) My mom showed it to me, and it makes me feel closer to him. I never really knew him, as he died when I was young, but this song helps me remember him, and feel like he’s right there with me.
That's awesome. My grandfather was an auctioneer. He would bid off the butter and salt at the supper table, always made me 🤭 giggle. You're lucky you have video!!
So Beautifully put. Thank you. I'm grateful for the inspiration of your comment. It came at a good moment and filled my heart with love. 💕 I too was young when my dad passed. I do remember Dad and I were two of a kind. We both knew that and felt the bond we had together. I remember so much about him: events, life lessons, rights of passage, proving myself to dad's horrible older brother ... Sometimes I wonder how memories stuck at such a young age 2 to 7. My wife suggested it was because of a relative who stepped up to be a dad after I lost mine, Leo. He was the key to knowing my father and pulling my memory of him together. If there is anyone around to talk to about your father ... tell stories about him. That is a great way to know him better. My mom was there too, but Leo told better stories with manly themes. Leo helped parent me as he spoke about dad. He loved my father and felt a duty to give me a sense of him. He had two daughters, so he enjoyed having me as a son. He was great at parenting too. We all felt very lucky to have him as a dad. He was cool, kind, understanding, patient, funny, and full of the love his mother gave him. He was a great guy, yet the most humble man I ever met. Nice to remember and share. Thank you so much.💫💖💫
The emotions shown in the eyes of all the actors seem so real. I feel like these are feelings we can easily affiliate ourselves with. Growing older, watching time pass by, watching others come and go... These bitter sweet emotions.
As a dad of 2 young girls that seem to grow faster than I ever thought possible, I am slowly starting to understand the depth and honestly of this song.
@@esterherschkovich6499 What would you say if you were NOT an African American? What has your ethnicity to do with it? You're not even close to being Jewish. Idiot!
@@colincox2081 : NO, Colin, YOU are the idiot. Aside from your comment being uncalled for and unforgivably RUDE, you've addressed it to Stella David who is quite likely Jewish, judging by the name. And Marie, who you were so rude to, could be Jewish herself, if you haven't figured that out yet. SHAME on you. A lot of us use names that don't *appear* to be Jewish -- which means nothing.
If you're a parent with children "of age", this song truly expresses the bittersweet emotions you feel at a child's wedding. Masterful direction, simply by allowing the audience to be a silent participant in this solemn, special occasion. This is a great cinematic example of how faces of such character can portray love, loss, celebration, sobriety, grief, and bottomless pain. One of the greatest, finest moments in all of film history.
I especially love Yenta's close-up, with that sad, wistful little smile. Such a profound, human moment from a performance that so easily could have been reduced to a buffoonish caricature.
Those actors are so professional, I felt that I was gazing at the faces of my own family and friends.Beautiful. They all should receive Academy Awards This movie was a colossal gift to the world in my humble opinion. ❤️
I’m not a parent but I am an aunt. The lyrics really express what goes through the minds of the parents, grandparents, aunts, and uncles at a wedding. When my nephew was married, I remembered being at work and waiting for the phone call telling me that he was born.
It will never grow old. I saw it in the theater in 1979, And I called my father “Papa” for the rest of his life. My brothers saw how appropriate it was and they called him Papa as well. For the rest of his life.
I remember a time when this was a common song played at weddings. Now as the years have passed and my parents are at a point where we are taking care of them, the song is so much more poignant. I remember when my dad turned 40 and now I am many years beyond that. Where has the time gone? I understand now what Jean Luc Picard meant when he said, "You get to a point when the years ahead are less than the years behind." Sunrise, Sunset. Swiftly the years fly. One season following another...
As a young daughter this had me in floods of tears and it still dies now that I am a middle aged mother of two. Such a brilliant depiction of the human condition.
10 years ago on this day I walked my daughter down the aisle. Later we had the traditional dance to this piece. Her choice, she knew how much I liked this show. She brought out a tissue because she knew I couldn't finish it without breaking out in tears. Happy Anniversary!
One of the greatest plays/movies of all time. I've seen it many times and can still repleat almost all the lines and songs by heart. It will never grow old and irrelevant and is guaranteed to produce tears in even full grown men. My favorite of all time!
This show speaks to people of all cultures. We all have the same aspirations wanting the best for our children. This is my all time favorite show. I have the original Broadway soundtrack as well as the Hebrew and Yiddish versions. Still wanting to hear the Japanese and Russian versions.
Doris Jaffe ... So true a we have watch our kids, nieces and nephews grow up and we just want the best for them. In my 60's now and watching my young relative growing up.
Love this film. Shame to think that their troubles were real and worse still, so many communities, to this day, still bear the same "troubles". Do you think, that maybe, one day, we may, as humans, learn? God bless.

I was born in '97 and this is my favorite movie of all time and has been since I was about 10 years old. Nothing will ever replace Fiddler. I can quote every line from this movie.
This was the song my mom walked down the aisle to in my wedding…I love you mom. Eternal rest grant her oh Lord and may perpetual light shine upon her.🙏🏼❤️
I remember having piano lessons,having to play these songs. thought how beautiful,someday I'll play this for my children. of,that'll be in couple hundred years. lol. Now it's here, five kids, four grandchildren. Fifty came too fast, kids grew in a flash! NOW THIS SONG MAKES ME TEAR UP. This is a timeless masterpiece of music,poetry,philosophy, of course,just plain truth of life!!!
I first saw the film in its German dubbed version with Topol's voiceover for Tevya. He was also in the German stage version. Because of its linguistic connection with Yiddish, the German language version seemed somehow more "authentic." The German lyrics were also very well done.
This movie, might not have any relevance with the current generation but those who grew up with little and treasured the little things in life with simple living, Fidler on Roof struck a chord with millions ! 2022 and I still watch this movie at least once a year. It’s a must watch ..
I had the true privilege to see the Farewell Tour of Fiddler on the Roof with Topol, in 2012. He was 72 at that time, and he looked and sounded every bit the same as he did in the movie. When that booming voice started singing, we were all in heaven. I went by myself and was lucky to get a seat center stage 10 rows from the stage. It literally was a complete sell out, where they sent out notices saying " please arrive no less than 30 minutes early, all seats are sold, no reserves, no late admittances" It by far is one of my most treasured experiences.
+XBGJDKE It's strange. When I was in my teens I never cried because of some music or lyrics. Now that I'm in my late 30's this song makes me sob uncontrollably. And I have to stagemanage this show from next month on. Time to toughen up.
I refer to teens because that kind of reaction or non-reaction used to apply to me. But not anymore. Was I that unclear? The strange part is that once own perception of something can change so drastically.
Years ago, when we lived in CA, our retirement community performance club did an amateur production performance of this classic musical. I was the piano accompanist for the show, and I remember sitting and playing this beautiful song, tears running down my face. Every time. Sanjosemike (no longer in CA)
Me too, and it was sung in a Catholic Church. It still brings tears to my eyes. I also had For All We Know originally sung by the Carpenters, and then the Wedding Song originally sung by Paul Stuckley and Mary Travers of Peter Paul and Mary. was a nice service I wish I remembered it more!!!
I saw this movie when I was in high school. I went under protest but my Mother made me go. I thought it was the most amazing movie. The music was amazing and for that short time my mother and I were in such sweet harmony. We were never so full of conflict again. We were at peace. It was an emotional time for us both. It is my all time favorite movie. I can’t watch it anymore without crying. My mom passed away several years ago and when I watch it I cry with joy and feeling that special time that changed my heart for my mother. My all time favorite movie and I still cry during that song.
My mom's favorite as well, I used to hear the sound track on the old turn table over and over. Just happy memories. I am sorry about your mom, I am sure I will do the same, honor to my mother hearing this in the future. Truely a soul moving movie.
My Husband sang this to me at our wedding so many years ago. He had the most beautiful voice and every time I hear this song I think of him. Bringing back lots of memories.
This is so beautiful. This and the Sabbath prayer give me a terrible lump in the throat every time. I saw Fiddler on the Roof in London with Topol, and it is still one of my all time most special moments.
But of all the songs, this is the main one that captured my love for this movie. So universally true. Two devoted friends standing strong for their future together and parents feeling the moment by making the right decision, standing by their daughter.
My first time seeing this movie was 2 days ago, and this scene almost had me in tears. My gf is Jewish and she resembles Tzietal alot, so seeing her in a wedding gown got me feeling some type of way...

I've loved this song since watching FOTR as a teen. Now I've lost my parents, brother and son, the lyrics have taken on a deeper poignancy and sadness. Now I want the years to move as swiftly as possible and I'm pleased I have more years behind me than in front of me.
Every time my family watches Fiddler, this is the song that gets my dad. He knows he's going to be giving me and my sister away at our weddings someday, and he always starts tearing up around the first chorus.
Saw the movie many years ago and I was moved by it. TOPOL was fantastic as was the story. Can never forget how beauti9ful the song and the lyrics of "Sunrise Sunset" were.
Masterful and moving. I love that the Jewish population in the USA thrived. Just like African-Americans we owe a lot of our culture to both groups. This is despite the hardships of both groups faced. You can live and succeed in America. Love to everyone!
Przepiękna piosenka, śliczna melodia, wspaniałe wykonanie! Gdy jej słucham czuję się rozrzewniona, wzruszona i ukojona. Doskonałe też jest polskie tłumaczenie tekstu. Uwielbiam tego słuchać.
Rest in Peace Topol, just read that you have sadly passed away. If I was a rich man, sunrise sunset and matchmaker make me a match are my favourite songs from this brilliant film🙏🏾
I'd guess they had it made elsewhere. He's shown earlier in the movie unpacking a hat he had shipped, so its not unlikely the wedding garb was not his work

Thank you for letting people know. He was.extremley talented he will be missed.
I had the pleasure of seeing him in London years ago. He was perfect and phenomenal in Fiddler. Great talent!
I'm sure he's up in heaven giving the Lord some beautiful special performances!
My condolences and blessings to his family 💕🙏
May he rest in peace!
May his memory be a blessing.
As a London Taxi Driver I had the pleasure of picking up Topol together with his wife Galia. That journey will always stay with me. What an absolute gentleman. RIP.

25 yrs ago, my wedding.
My daddy died 23 ago
23 yrs ago.
My mommy 8 yrs ago. I think it was her idea for that song for father/daughter dance
How beautiful! What an wonderful memory to have!
Topol should have won a Oscar for his great performance in "Fiddler on the Roof".
Yes he should have. Gene Hackman won instead, his acting didn't come to Topol's!
Yeah right lol,this isn’t anything special. Topol is a mediocre talent. Hackman is one of the greatest of all time.
YES. I AGREE
@@perrispiegel4814 bologna Topol's acting was great but Gene Hackman is as legend as well imo

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...

@@leviticusdionysushunt7080 seriously. When I first watched, I thought this movie was from the 90s
@@sweetmatcha I mean the storyline and characters. Some movies these days don't deliver in those aspects
It will never grow old.
I saw it in the theater in 1979, And I called my father “Papa” for the rest of his life. My brothers saw how appropriate it was and they called him Papa as well. For the rest of his life.
I remember a time when this was a common song played at weddings. Now as the years have passed and my parents are at a point where we are taking care of them, the song is so much more poignant. I remember when my dad turned 40 and now I am many years beyond that. Where has the time gone? I understand now what Jean Luc Picard meant when he said, "You get to a point when the years ahead are less than the years behind." Sunrise, Sunset. Swiftly the years fly. One season following another...
@Joe D most certainly it is NOT to be taken
Laden with happiness and tears...
Such a poignant song
As a young daughter this had me in floods of tears and it still dies now that I am a middle aged mother of two. Such a brilliant depiction of the human condition.
10 years ago on this day I walked my daughter down the aisle. Later we had the traditional dance to this piece. Her choice, she knew how much I liked this show. She brought out a tissue because she knew I couldn't finish it without breaking out in tears. Happy Anniversary!
Tomorrow is my parents' 50th anniversary. They saw this movie on a date and this song was sung at their wedding.
Such a sobering and emotional song about life. Life goes by so fast, but is filled with love and the bonds of family.
or it should be
One of the greatest plays/movies of all time. I've seen it many times and can still repleat almost all the lines and songs by heart. It will never grow old and irrelevant and is guaranteed to produce tears in even full grown men. My favorite of all time!
This show speaks to people of all cultures. We all have the same aspirations wanting the best for our children. This is my all time favorite show. I have the original Broadway soundtrack as well as the Hebrew and Yiddish versions. Still wanting to hear the Japanese and Russian versions.
Doris Jaffe ... So true a
we have watch our kids, nieces and nephews grow up and we just want the best for them. In my 60's now and watching my young relative growing up.
Love this film. Shame to think that their troubles were real and worse still, so many communities, to this day, still bear the same "troubles". Do you think, that maybe, one day, we may, as humans, learn? God bless.

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 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
I was born in '97 and this is my favorite movie of all time and has been since I was about 10 years old. Nothing will ever replace Fiddler. I can quote every line from this movie.
How can this song be so happy and sad at the same time?
Life in war !
This was the song my mom walked down the aisle to in my wedding…I love you mom. Eternal rest grant her oh Lord and may perpetual light shine upon her.🙏🏼❤️
This is my all time favorite song from this musical.
Mary Ann Wittkowske Performed as it is here, it is one of my top 10 all time songs of love and family.
I remember having piano lessons,having to play these songs. thought how beautiful,someday I'll play this for my children. of,that'll be in couple hundred years. lol. Now it's here, five kids, four grandchildren. Fifty came too fast, kids grew in a flash! NOW THIS SONG MAKES ME TEAR UP. This is a timeless masterpiece of music,poetry,philosophy, of course,just plain truth of life!!!
Me too.
This song gives me goosebumps every time I listen to it! Beautiful classic all the way.
I have a feeling this is going to get a few more hits very soon. #LazloSings
In Lazlo’s voice “It *whill* ol’ chap”
this is certainly one of my best musicals wonderful story and music
I first saw the film in its German dubbed version with Topol's voiceover for Tevya. He was also in the German stage version. Because of its linguistic connection with Yiddish, the German language version seemed somehow more "authentic." The German lyrics were also very well done.
This movie, might not have any relevance with the current generation but those who grew up with little and treasured the little things in life with simple living, Fidler on Roof struck a chord with millions ! 2022 and I still watch this movie at least once a year. It’s a must watch ..
That's true. Unfortunately. I am a grandfather
RIP Chaim Topol, may your memory be a blessing
All those naked flames are giving me heart palpitations!
Beautiful song and amazing film ❤
This is absolutely one of my very favorite movies! I loved everything especially the songs and the choreography! Brings tears to my eyes every time!
I danced to this song with my dad at my wedding :)
Me too!
Jessica Olive that's awesome
I want it for my son’s dance with me
now thats on my 'to do' list!
Congrats!
one of the best wedding scenes in a movie ever
I had the true privilege to see the Farewell Tour of Fiddler on the Roof with Topol, in 2012. He was 72 at that time, and he looked and sounded every bit the same as he did in the movie. When that booming voice started singing, we were all in heaven. I went by myself and was lucky to get a seat center stage 10 rows from the stage. It literally was a complete sell out, where they sent out notices saying " please arrive no less than 30 minutes early, all seats are sold, no reserves, no late admittances" It by far is one of my most treasured experiences.
I won't cry this time, I won't cry this time...dammit.
+XBGJDKE It's strange. When I was in my teens I never cried because of some music or lyrics.
Now that I'm in my late 30's this song makes me sob uncontrollably.
And I have to stagemanage this show from next month on.
Time to toughen up.
I refer to teens because that kind of reaction or non-reaction used to apply to me.
But not anymore. Was I that unclear?
The strange part is that once own perception of something can change so drastically.
me to
Yeah Right. Blubber all you need to. I'll bring the tissues
Too late...I saw it!!!!
Years ago, when we lived in CA, our retirement community performance club did an amateur production performance of this classic musical. I was the piano accompanist for the show, and I remember sitting and playing this beautiful song, tears running down my face. Every time.

This was sung at my wedding. Beautiful song, brings tears to my eyes.
Me too, and it was sung in a Catholic Church. It still brings tears to my eyes. I also had For All We Know originally sung by the Carpenters, and then the Wedding Song originally sung by Paul Stuckley and Mary Travers of Peter Paul and Mary. was a nice service I wish I remembered it more!!!
Every single time I watch this clip I cannot stop crying and crying; mixture of happiness and sadness
Shalom. This was one of the most beautiful and heartfelt scenes.
In 2022 I’m remembering my Dad RIP sang this at my wedding in1976, it still brings a tear to my eyes
I saw this movie when I was in high school. I went under protest but my Mother made me go. I thought it was the most amazing movie. The music was amazing and for that short time my mother and I were in such sweet harmony. We were never so full of conflict again. We were at peace. It was an emotional time for us both. It is my all time favorite movie. I can’t watch it anymore without crying. My mom passed away several years ago and when I watch it I cry with joy and feeling that special time that changed my heart for my mother. My all time favorite movie and I still cry during that song.
My mom's favorite as well, I used to hear the sound track on the old turn table over and over. Just happy memories. I am sorry about your mom, I am sure I will do the same, honor to my mother hearing this in the future. Truely a soul moving movie.
One of the most beautiful songs ever....
I'm amazed at how much my daughter, 7 years old is enjoying clips of the songs from this movie as much as i did when i was young ♥️
My Husband sang this to me at our wedding so many years ago. He had the most beautiful voice and every time I hear this song I think of him. Bringing back lots of memories.
No beards were harmed in the making of this production. (I hope.)
HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
Elena Kufta Ooohh I get it :,D
@Chana Bayla I think Elena is Jewish?
This is so beautiful. This and the Sabbath prayer give me a terrible lump in the throat every time. I saw Fiddler on the Roof in London with Topol, and it is still one of my all time most special moments.
@Chana Bayla so am i n i assumed it was meant in fun
Colin Robinson grew up so fast.......
Such a beautiful song, it is how every parent feels.
My day of final vows was like this - full of emotion and memories. No wedding for me, but the same sublime feeling and love for my vocation.
May He bless you always in His service
So precious the connecting of 2 people in love, to start a family. Tears of deep feeling, come naturally watching this.
Fiddler on the Roof is one of my favorite movies and play. I love all the music. ❣️❣️
This is the song that my teacher showed us in 8th grade. He cried the last time we listened to it together as we were graduating soon. Cheers Mr. V.
But of all the songs, this is the main one that captured my love for this movie. So universally true. Two devoted friends standing strong for their future together and parents feeling the moment by making the right decision, standing by their daughter.
Before I was born, my grandfather sung and played this on guitar at my mom's wedding as she walked down the aisle. I miss him so much.
My first time seeing this movie was 2 days ago, and this scene almost had me in tears. My gf is Jewish and she resembles Tzietal alot, so seeing her in a wedding gown got me feeling some type of way...
We broke up a few months ago and seeing this be bringing me to tears yo... damn this movie is strong

This song is beautiful...beyond words.
Never liked musicals, until this one.
Incredible!
Love this song - once we were the bride and groom; then parents of the bride...the years just flew by with the winds of time.
Every frame of this scene is like a beautiful painting :)
This was our entrance song for our Catholic wedding 46 years ago. Beautiful song!
Timeless music and movie as well.😢
A choir soloist at my synagogue sang this song at my bar mitzvah, 55 years ago now. Its magic still lingers.
I've loved this song since watching FOTR as a teen. Now I've lost my parents, brother and son, the lyrics have taken on a deeper poignancy and sadness. Now I want the years to move as swiftly as possible and I'm pleased I have more years behind me than in front of me.
Absolutely beautiful scene with such a beautiful song
This film is an all-time Masterpiece. And I choke up at this scene, every time.---------MJL< 74 y/o
this song was sung at a school I went to a long time ago, I remeber that day vividly... good times. :)
Every time my family watches Fiddler, this is the song that gets my dad. He knows he's going to be giving me and my sister away at our weddings someday, and he always starts tearing up around the first chorus.
You're very fortunate to have such a caring father.
Older now, I find this song makes me think of my parents and their journey along the way to goodbye.
Swiftly fly the years. Goodbye to you, Topol. Rest well.
Beautiful post. Thank you.
This is one of my favorite songs from one of my favorite movies. So beautiful!!!
My favorite song in this movie and it pulls at my heart strings. This movie is cinematic genius.
Tak dawno nie było w telewizji powtórki tego pięknego filmu.
Saw the movie many years ago and I was moved by it. TOPOL was fantastic as was the story. Can never forget how beauti9ful the song and the lyrics of "Sunrise Sunset" were.
My dad sang this to me as a lullaby when I was growing up. I completely forgot the memory till I rewatched Lion King 1/2 today.
I am among the millions who had this song played at my wedding. It is just perfect in so many ways.
I cried at the film, and every time since, when I hear the song. How fleeting are our lives.
One of the classics and Topol's voice is the best!
Saw him sing it in London in the 60s
This is the most memorable song of all time very timeless classic piece of music
Masterful and moving. I love that the Jewish population in the USA thrived. Just like African-Americans we owe a lot of our culture to both groups. This is despite the hardships of both groups faced. You can live and succeed in America. Love to everyone!
You said it better thankyou
Przepiękna piosenka, śliczna melodia, wspaniałe wykonanie! Gdy jej słucham czuję się rozrzewniona, wzruszona i ukojona. Doskonałe też jest polskie tłumaczenie tekstu. Uwielbiam tego słuchać.

@e causey j'adore Lauren 😍 "You know *how* to whistle don't you, Steve?" ... I shall look up the scene you are referring to!
This song was sung at my wedding in 1972! It was beautiful!
Rest in Peace Topol, just read that you have sadly passed away. If I was a rich man, sunrise sunset and matchmaker make me a match are my favourite songs from this brilliant film🙏🏾
One of the best films with an incredible soundtrack ever!
I've always loved this song, but the scene leading up to it, the wedding procession at sunset, was a revelation to me. So beautiful, so moving!
One of the most inspiring and at same time spine tingling songs I have ever heard.
a beautiful song, sang with soul, that only Topol can sing properly, a fantastisch musical, unforgettable.
The background harmonies are ridiculously beautiful
if my dad was still alive, I would love to dance with him to this song on the day of my wedding.
Wait...if Motel was the town tailor, he most likely made his bride’s wedding dress. Awww
I'd guess they had it made elsewhere. He's shown earlier in the movie unpacking a hat he had shipped, so its not unlikely the wedding garb was not his work
Brides often wore their mothers wedding dress.
