The Times They Are a-Changin' - Bob Dylan
Written by: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
否则将湿透你的骨头
If your time to you
如果在这时
Is worth savin'
你值得自救
Then you better start swimmin'
那你最好开始游泳
Or you'll sink like a stone
否则你将石沉大海
For the times they are a changin'
因为这是变革的时代
Come writers and critics
来吧
Who prophesied with your pen
依靠笔生存的作家和评论家
And keep your eyes wide
把你们的眼光放得长远
The chance won't come again
机会可不会再来
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
青史留名
That it's namin'
此刻尚无定论
For the loser now
输家到最后
Will be later to win
将会翻盘
For the times they are a changin'
因为这是变革的时代
Come senators congressmen
来吧,参议员与国会议员们
Please heed the call
请倾听这呼声
Don't stand in the doorway
别站在门口
Don't block up the hall
别堵塞大厅
For he that gets hurt
凡阻挠者都要
Will be he who has stalled
付出伤痛
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'
因为这是变革的时代
Come mothers and fathers
这片土地上的
Throughout the land
父母们
And don't criticize
别再责备
What you can't understand
你们所不了解的东西
Your sons and your daughters
你们的儿女们
Are beyond your command
都已不受你的控制
Your old road is
你们的旧路
Rapidly agin'
正在疾速衰老
Please get out of the new one
如果你无法出力
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
