In a bar in Memphis, an old man came in 在孟菲斯一间酒吧，一个老人走了进来

I thought he was out of his his head 我以为他是他的脑袋

Being a young man, I just laughed it off 作为一个年轻人，我只是一笑置之

I'm dreaming that he understood 我是在做梦，他理解

   

I'll never again turn the young ladies heads 我再也不会把小姐们的头

Or go running off into the wind 或进入风流失

I'm three quarters home now from the start to the end 我四分之三的家，从现在开始到年底

I wish I was eighteen again 我想我又是18

   

I wish I was eighteen again 我想我又是18

My God, I'd like to go back 我的上帝，我想回去

Where I've never been but old folks, old oaks 在那里我从来没有去过，但老伙计，老橡树

They stand tall but just pretend 他们站在高高的，只是假装

I wish I was eighteen again 我想我又是18

   

Time turns the pages and life it goes so fast 时间打开网页，生活它会这么快

The years turn the black hair to gray 岁月将黑色头发灰白

I talked to young folks but they don't understand 我跟年轻的人，但他们不明白

The things this old man's has to say 这个老男人的不得不说的事

   

Oh, I wish I was eighteen again 哦，我想我又是18

Going back where I've never been 回去的地方我从来没去过

But old folks, old oaks 不过，老乡亲，老橡树

Standing tall, just pretend 站在高大，只是假装

I'll never be eighteen again 我再也不会是18
