歌词
Ticking away the moments that make up a dull day
时间在滴答声中流逝 又虚度了百无聊赖的一天
You fritter and waste the hours in an offhand way.
你大手大脚挥霍掉了每一个小时
Kicking around on a piece of ground in your home town
终日在你家乡的一块弹丸之地上游手好闲
Waiting for someone or something to show you the way.
等着天上掉馅饼或别人来告诉你路该怎么走
早已厌倦躺在阳光下 宅在家里望着窗外的雨发呆
Tired of lying in the sunshine staying home to watch the rain.
你还年轻 生活还很漫长 但今天很快就会流逝
You are young and life is long and there is time to kill today.
然后有一天你会发现十年转瞬间抛在了你身后
And then one day you find ten years have got behind you.
没人告诉你如何去奔跑 是你自己错过了发令枪
No one told you when to run, you missed the starting gun.
所以即便你后来不停跑啊跑啊去追赶太阳 但太阳总会无情下沉
转一圈之后它会再次在你身后升起
So you run and you run to catch up with the sun but it's sinking
太阳照旧经年如此 但你越与日渐老
Racing around to come up behind you again.
呼吸也会愈见短促 直到有一天面临死亡
The sun is the same in a relative way but you're older,
每一年越来越短 你似乎永远也别想抓住时间
Shorter of breath and one day closer to death.
手中的计划要么毫无价值要么才草草进行到一半
在绝望的寂静中安然度日简直是英国人的通病
Every year is getting shorter never seem to find the time.
时间已逝 一曲将终
Plans that either come to naught or half a page of scribbled lines
虽然我一言难尽
Hanging on in quiet desperation is the English way
我也想留下来 但我无能为力
The time is gone, the song is over,
当我回到家中 已经力尽筋疲
Thought I'd something more to say.
拖着疲乏的身体到炉边烤起火来
I like to be here, but I can't.
And when I come home cold and tired
It's good to warm my bones beside the fire.
