The old man said to me 老头对我说：

Said don't always take life so seriously 说不要总是把生活如此严重

Play the flute 吹笛子

And dance and sing your song 跳舞，唱你的歌

   

Try and enjoy the here and now 尝试和享受此时此地

The future will take care of itself somehow 未来会自己照顾自己莫名其妙

The grass is never greener over there 草更绿从未有过

Time will wear away the stone 时间会磨损石头

Gets the hereditary bone 获取遗传性骨骼

   

[Chorus:] [合唱： ]

Don't try to live your life in one day 不要试图自己生活的一天

Don't go speed your time away 不要去加速你的时间距离

Don't try to live your life in one day 不要试图自己生活的一天

Don't go speed your time away 不要去加速你的时间距离

   

The old man said to me 老头对我说：

Said you can't change the world single-handedly 说你不能改变世界一手

Raise a glass enjoy the scenery 举杯欣赏风景

Pretend the water is champagne 假装水是香槟

And fill my glass again and again 一次又一次填补我的玻璃

While the wolves are gathering round your door 而狼是全面收集你的门

Time will wear away the stone 时间会磨损石头

Gets the hereditary bone 获取遗传性骨骼

   

The old man said to me 老头对我说：

Said don't always take life so seriously 说不要总是把生活如此严重

Play the flute 吹笛子

And dance and sing your song 跳舞，唱你的歌

   

Try and enjoy the here and now 尝试和享受此时此地

The future will take care of itself somehow 未来会自己照顾自己莫名其妙

The grass is never greener over there 草更绿从未有过

Time will wear away the stone 时间会磨损石头

Gets the hereditary bone 获取遗传性骨骼

   

I tried to live my life in one day 我尝试过我的生活在一天

Don't go speed your time away 不要去加速你的时间距离

   

I bit off more than I can chew 我咬下超过我能咀嚼

Only so much you can do 只有这么多，你可以做

   

Wolves are gathering round my door 狼聚集在我的门口

Ask them in and invite some more 问他们，并邀请更多

   

I tried to live my life in one day 我尝试过我的生活在一天

Don't go speed your time away 不要去加速你的时间距离
