变革的时代

Bob Dylan

Come gather 'round people, wherever you roam

八方人士，你们到一起来，

And admit that the waters around you have grown

请看清周遭的洪水已经围拢，

And accept it that soon you'll be drenched to the bone 面对现实吧，你们的骨头将被浸透。

If your time to you is worth saving

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 prophesise with your pen 耍笔头、作预言的批评家们，

And keep your eyes wide, the chance won't come again 机会不会再来，你们要睁大眼睛。

And don't speak too soon, for the wheel's still in spin

青史留名此刻尚无定论，

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

不要言之过早，车轮仍在滚滚前进。

For the loser now will be later to win

今日失意之人明日或将成功，

For the times they are a-changin'

因为这时代正在变革当中。

Come senators, congressmen, please heed the call

议员、理事们，请听从这呼声，

Don't stand in the doorway, don't block up the hall

凡阻挠者都要付出伤痛，

For he that gets hurt will be he who has stalled

不要紧守门道，不要封锁厅门。

The battle outside ragin'

斗争的烈焰正在外面汹涌，

Will soon shake your windows and rattle your walls

不久就要震撼你们的深宫，

For the times they are a-changin'

因为这时代正在变革当中。

Come mothers and fathers throughout the land

这片土地上的每一位父亲、母亲，

And don't criticize what you can't understand

不要妄评，如果你们无法弄懂。

Your sons and your daughters are beyond your command 你们的旧路正在疾速衰老，

Your old road is rapidly aging

儿女已不在你们掌控。

Please get out of the new one if you can't lend your hand 无法出力，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, the curse, it is cast

界限已划清，诅咒已显效，

The slow one now will later be fast

今日踟蹰不前者，他日迅如疾风。

As the present now will later be past

世界当前，转眼明日黄花，

The order is rapidly fadin'

眼下秩序，日渐消融。

And the first one now will later be last

今朝最是风流，他日沦落末流，

For the times they are a-changin'
