《Coming Of Age》



Coming of age ain't about what you do
It's giving in to what's predefined
When you trade all your dreams for compromise
It is never what you have in mind

关于年龄，其实与你所行的无关，
它屈从于一些既定的东西
当你出卖梦想，向现实妥协
你知道，那并不是你想做的

One shot of happy, two shots of sad
That's how our lives are aligned
The path that you chose has got highs has got lows
But it's never what you have in mind

一杯快乐，两盅悲哀
生活就是这样，将悲与喜栓在一条平衡线
一条路，时高时低，时窄时宽
你选择的，或许并不是你想走的

I must say that I still wonder why it disappears
Must say that I still wonder why
The years keep tumbling by

必须承认，我依然困惑于，那些逝去的日子，
它是何以从我的视线中，慢慢消失。
还有随之而来的岁月，是何以如此，接踵而至

Coming of age ain't about who you meet
It's about the people who leave you behind
Your brothers, your parents, your lovers, your friends
It is never what you have in mind

I really doubt that I'll find out why it disappears
I really doubt that I'll find out
What these years are all about

我始终怀疑：那些悬在心头的困惑，只有谜面，难求解锁
也曾质疑：这些年，漫长走过
得与失，对于错，没有谜底，无从求索

You might ask if these thoughts that I just summed up
Are of any importance to you
Maybe not but when things don't turn out like you planned
It helps to know that they never do

也许你会问，这些关于人生的概括，
对你，是不是很重要？
我宁愿相信：事与愿违，都不会是宿命，
它只是恪守着大自然即行的轨道

Besides, if each shot of happy
Comes with only two shots of sad
Then coming of age is not so bad
Then coming of age is not so bad
Then coming of age is not so bad

而如果，每一杯快乐，伴随着两盅悲哀
只仅仅两盅。那结果，也许还不算太过糟糕
当我们守着余生，渐渐变老，渐渐变老
