The Times They Are A-Changin' - Bob Dylan
Come gather 'round people
八方人士
Wherever you roam
你们一起到来
And admit that the waters
请看清周遭的洪水
Around you have grown
已经围拢
And accept it that soon
面对现实吧
You'll be drenched to the bone
你们的骨头将被浸透
If your time to you
如果你的年华
Is worth savin'
尚值得珍重
Then you better start swimmin'
你最好即刻开始游动
Or you'll sink like a stone
不然你会如同沉水石头
For the times they are a-changin'
因为这时代正在变革当中
Come writers and critics
耍笔头
Who prophesize with your pen
作预言的批评家们
And keep your eyes wide
机会不会再来
The chance won't come again
你们要睁大眼睛
And don't speak too soon
不要言之过早
For the wheel's still in spin
命运的车轮还在滚滚流动
And there's no tellin' who
青史留名
That it's namin'
此刻尚无定论
For the loser now
今日失意之人
Will be later to win
明日或将成功
For the times they are a-changin'
因为这时代正在变革当中
Come senators congressmen
议员 理事们
Please heed the call
请听从这呼声
Don't stand in the doorway
凡阻挠者都要
Don't block up the hall
付出伤痛
For he that gets hurt
不要紧守门道
Will be he who has stalled
不要封锁厅门
There's a battle outside
斗争的烈焰
And it is ragin'
正在外面汹涌
It'll soon shake your windows
不久就要震撼
And rattle your walls
你们的深宫
For the times they are a-changin'
因为这时代正在变革当中
Come mothers and fathers
这片土地上的
Throughout the land
每一位父亲母亲
And don't criticize
不要妄评
What you can't understand
如果你们无法弄懂
Your sons and your daughters
你们的旧路
Are beyond your command
正在疾速衰老
Your old road is
儿女
Rapidly agin'
已不在你们掌控
Please get out of the new one
无法出力
If you can't lend your hand
就请让路
For the times they are a-changin'
因为这时代正在变革当中
The line it is drawn
界限已划清
The curse it is cast
诅咒已显效
The slow one now
今日踟蹰不前者
Will later be fast
他日迅如疾风
As the present now
世界当前
Will later be past
转眼明日黄花
The order is
眼下秩序
Rapidly fadin'
日渐消融
And the first one now
今朝最是风流
Will later be last
他日沦落末流
For the times they are a-changin'
因为这时代正在变革当中
