He turned thirty-five last Sunday 他把35的最后一个星期日

In his hair he found some gray 在他的头发，他发现了一些灰

But he still ain't changed his lifestyle 但他仍然没有改变他的生活方式

He likes it better the old way 他喜欢它更好的老办法

So he grows a little garden in the back yard by the fence 于是，他生长在后院的小花园的篱笆

He's consuming what he's growing nowadays in self defense 他耗费了他的成长如今在自卫

He get's out there in the twilight zone 他得到的在外面的模糊地带

Sometimes when it just don't make no sense 有时它只是不要让没有意义

   

He gets off on country music 他对乡村音乐下车

Cause disco left him cold 原因迪斯科离开了他冷

He's got young friends into new wave 他有年轻的朋友们进入新一波

But he's just too friggin' old 但他实在太受诅咒的“老

And he dreams at night of Woodstock and the day John Lennon died 他的梦想在伍德斯托克的夜晚和白天约翰·列侬逝世

How the music made him happy and the silence made him cry 如何在音乐使他高兴，沉默让他哭

Yeah he thinks of John sometimes 是的，他认为约翰有时

And he has to wonder why 他想知道为什么

   

[Chorus:] [合唱： ]

He's an old hippie and he don't know what to do 他是一个老嬉皮，他不知道该怎么办

Should he hang on to the old 如果他挂到老

Should he grab on to the new 如果他抢上新

He's an old hippie...his new life is just a bust 他是一个老嬉皮......他的新生活仅仅是一个半身像

He ain't trying to change nobody 他是不是想改变任何人

He's just trying real hard to adjust 他只是想真正的努力来调整

   

He was sure back in the sixties that everyone was hip 他相信早在六十年代，每个人都为髋部

Then they sent him off to Vietnam on his senior trip 于是打发他去越南他的高级之旅

And they forced him to become a man while he was still a boy 他们迫使他成为一个男人，而他还只是个孩子

And in each wave of tragedy he waited for the joy 而在每一波的悲剧，他等待的喜悦

Now this world may change around him 现在，这个世界可能会改变他周围

But he just can't change no more 但他只是无法改变不多

   

[Chorus] [合唱]

   

Well, he stays away a lot now from the parties and the clubs 嗯，他是远离了很多，现在从当事人和俱乐部

And he's thinking while he's joggin' 'round 和他的思想，而他的则跑步轮

Sure is glad he quit the hard drugs 当然很高兴，他退出了硬性毒品

Cause him and his kind get more endangered everyday 使他和他的样获得更多的濒危日常

And pretty soon the species will just up and fade away 不一会儿品种只会和消失

Like the smoke from that torpedo...just up and fade away 如从鱼雷烟...只是和消失

   

[Chorus] [合唱]
