Time

Ticking away the moments that make up a dull day
時鐘滴答的每瞬構成無聊的一天
You fritter and waste the hours in an offhand way.
不經意中你一點一點浪費時間
Kicking around on a piece of ground in your home town
無所事事將你家鄉小鎮遊遍
Waiting for someone or something to show you the way.
空空等待有人或事指你向前
Tired of lying in the sunshine staying home to watch the rain.
厭倦了躺在陽光下、厭倦了呆在家中數雨
You are young and life is long and there is time to kill today.
你還年輕生活還很長卻在謀殺當下
And then one day you find ten years have got behind you.
終有一天你回頭十年時光已離你遠去
No one told you when to run, you missed the starting gun.
沒人告訴你何時起跑，你已錯過令槍
So you run and you run to catch up with the sun but it's sinking
於是你拼命奔跑想追上那西沉落日
Racing around to come up behind you again.
可它兜個圈又從你後面升起
The sun is the same in a relative way but you're older,
你在與太陽的永恆這比賽中老去
Shorter of breath and one day closer to death.
時日無多，死亡愈近
Every year is getting shorter never seem to find the time.
年月越來越短，時間無情
Plans that either come to naught or half a page of scribbled lines
人生無為，生命草草
Hanging on in quiet desperation is the English way
懸在自己安靜的絕望之中
The time is gone, the song is over,
時光流逝，歌聲已盡
Thought I'd something more to say .
儘管心中還有感慨諸多
