The Times They Are a-Changin' (Alternate Version) - Bob Dylan
Written by:Bob Dylan
Come gather around people
来吧人们 请听我说
Wherever you roam
不管你们来自何方
And admit that the waters
承认吧 你周围的水域
Around you have grown
已经在不断上涨
And accept it that soon
你要接受在不久以后
You'll be drenched to the bone
你就会湿透入骨
And if your breath to you is worth saving
如果时间对你来说还值得珍惜
Then you better start swimming or you'll sink like a stone
那你最好开始奋力游吧 否则你将会石沉大海
For the times they are a changing
因为这时代一直在变
Come writers and critics
听啊 作家和评论家
Who prophesize with your pen
你用笔书写自己的预言
And keep your eyes wide
让你的眼睛一直睁大吧
The chance won't come again
机会不会再重来
And don't speak too soon
不要过早断言
For the wheel's still in spin
因为这世道风水轮流转
And there's no telling who that it's naming
永远难以预料谁会功成名就
For the loser now will be later to win
也许现在的输家马上就会胜利
Cause the times they are a changing
因为这时代一直在变
Come senators congressmen
听啊 议员和政客们
Please heed the call
请留意这则呼吁
Don't stand in the doorway
不要站在门口
Don't block up the hall
不要挡住大厅
For he that gets hurt
因为那些受到伤害的
Will be he who has stalled
永远是那些冥顽不化的人
There's the battle outside raging
外面有一场激烈的战争正在打响
It'll soon shake your windows and rattle your walls
它将震颤你们的窗户 摇晃你们的砖墙
For the times they are a changing
因为这时代一直在变
Come mothers and fathers
听啊 母亲和父亲们
Throughout the land
你们来自天涯各处
And don't criticize
你们不应该批评
What you can't understand
你们自己无法理解的事物
Your sons and your daughters
你们的子女
Are beyond your command
已经摆脱了你们的控制
Your old road is rapidly aging
你们走过的道路正在飞快地衰落
Please get out of the new one if you can't lend your hand
如果你没法帮他们一把的话 请不要干涉那些新来的人们
Cause the times they are a changing
因为这时代一直在变
The line it is drawn
线已经被画下
The curse it is cast
诅咒也已经下达
The slowest now
现在跑得慢的人
Will later be fast
不久就会飞快起来
As the present now
因为这现在
Will later be past
马上就会变成过去
The order is rapidly fading
这秩序正在被快速的打破
And the first one now will later be last
现在是第一的马上就会落到最后
Cause the times they are a changing
因为这时代一直在变
