Come gather ’round people

Wherever you roam

And admit that the waters

Around you have grown

And accept it that soon

You’ll be drenched to the bone

If your time to you is worth savin’

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

For the times they are a-changin’



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

For the wheel’s still in spin

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

For the loser now will be later to win

For the times they are a-changin’



Come senators, congressmen

Please heed the call

Don’t stand in the doorway

Don’t block up the hall

For he that gets hurt

Will be he who has stalled

There’s a battle outside and it is ragin’

It’ll soon shake your windows and rattle your walls

For the times they are a-changin’



Come mothers and fathers

Throughout the land

And don’t criticize

What you can’t understand

Your sons and your daughters

Are beyond your command

Your old road is rapidly agin’

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

For the times they are a-changin’



The line it is drawn

The curse it is cast

The slow one now

Will later be fast

As the present now

Will later be past

The order is rapidly fadin’

And the first one now will later be last

For the times they are a-changin’

都过来吧大伙

不论你正在哪里游荡

快看清你周围的水

已经上涨

并接受再过不久

你就会湿透全身的事实

如果你的时间对于你来说还值得珍惜的话

那就最好开始游吧，否则你会下沉

就像一个石头那样

因为时代一直在变化



来吧作家们，评论家们

那些用笔来预言的人们

睁大你们的双眼

机会不会再来

不要太早定论

因为历史的车轮还在旋转

你无法看清谁将主宰未来

因为现在的失败者以后会赢

因为时代一直在变化



来吧参议员们，国会议员们

请听听人们的呼声

不要站到门前

不要挡在大厅里

因为敷衍别人的人

终将是自寻烦恼

外面有一场"战争"正打得火热

不久它就会震动你的窗户，撼动你的墙

因为时代一直在变化



来吧母亲们，父亲们

来自各地的你们

不要评判

你们无法理解的东西

你们的儿子们和你们的女儿们

已经不受你们的掌控

你们老旧的道路正在快速地被淘汰

如果你们无法给予帮助的话就请放任下一代吧

因为时代一直在变化



界限已经划定

咒语已经释放

现在慢的

以后会变快

因为现在

终将成为过去

现有的秩序正在快速地消逝

现在的第一终将会沦落到末位

因为时代一直在变化
