The Times, They Are A-Changin' - Bob Dylan
Come gather 'round people
大家把周围的人聚集在一起
Wherever you roam
不管你现在在何处徜徉
And admit that the waters
告诉他们潮水
Around you have grown
已经在涌动
And accept it that soon
很快就会
You'll be drenched to the bone
把你们淹没
If your time to you
如果你的时间
Is worth savin'
值得节省
Then you better start swimmin'
那你最好开始游泳
Or you'll sink like a stone
否则你会石沉大海
For the times they are a-changin'
因为时间正在改变
Come writers and critics
来吧 作家们和评论家们
Who prophesize with your pen
用笔作出预言
And keep your eyes wide
把眼光放远
The chance won't come again
机会只有一次
And don't speak too soon
别过早地下结论
For the wheel's still in spin
因为车轮还在转动
And there's no tellin' who
不知道是谁
That it's namin'

For the loser now
现在的失败者
Will be later to win

Please heed the call

Don't block up the hall

For he that gets hurt
因为现在受到伤害的
Will be he who has stalled
在将来会得到荣誉
There's a battle outside
一场战斗
And it is ragin'
就在门口
It'll soon shake your windows
愤怒将敲破你的窗
And rattle your walls
撞倒你的墙
