The Times They Are A-Changin' (Live at Carnegie Hall, New York, NY - October 1963) - Bob Dylan

Come gather 'round people

Wherever you roam

And admit that the waters

Around you have grown

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 is worth savin'

如果你的年华尚值得珍重

Then you better start swimmin' or you'll sink like a stone

你最好即刻开始游动，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

Who prophesize with your pen

And keep your eyes wide

The chance won't come again

And don't speak too soon

不要言之过早

For the wheel's still in spin

车轮仍在滚滚前进

And there's no tellin' who that it's namin'

现在还尚未决定谁是主流

For the loser now will be later to win

因为今日失意之人明日或将成功

Will be he who has stalled

There's a battle outside and it is ragin'

Throughout the land

这片土地上的

Are beyond your command

已不在你们掌控

Your old road is rapidly agin'

Please get out of the new one if you can't lend your hand

The slow one now

Will later be fast

And the first one now will later be last
