Bob Dylan - The Times They Are A Changing
YouTube→ ・・聞きながら読んで下さいね

どこを放浪しているのか
みんな集まって来たらどうかな
潮流が満ちてきたと分かるだろう
もうすぐすっぽり浸されるよ
歳月が節約するほど大切なら
そろそろ泳ぐのがいい
それとも石のように沈んでいるかな
止まらぬその時代にね

予想を書き続ける記者や批評家さん
みんな来てくれ
こんな機会はそうはないんだ
しっかり見届けてくれ
動きがある内の発言は控えてくれ
吊が付くほど強烈な者などいない
敗者も後に勝つものなんだ
止まらぬその時代にね

ねえ、国会議員のみなさん
どうか訴えに耳を貸して下さい
門戸に立ちはだかったり
会議場を閉ざさないで
困窮にある者ははっきり話さない
外部にある対立の激怒は
まもなく窓をふるわせ壁を叩きだす
止まらぬその時代にね

ねえ、世間の母さんに父さんたち
はっきり分かりもしないのに
批判はしないでね
娘や息子達にしても
もはや言いなりとはゆかない
古き良き道も老いるのは急速だ
手を貸せないのなら
どうか新しいモノからは退いて
止まらぬその時代にね

境目は付けられるモノ
悪態はつかれるモノ
"遅れ"は後に"進み"となる
"現代"が"過去"となるのに同じだよ
"流行"もさっさと消えて行く
それに、一番だったモノはどんビリになる
止まらぬその時代にね

Come gather around people
wherever you roam
And admit that the waters
around you have grown
And accept it that soon
you'll be drenched to the bone
If your time to you is worth saving
Then you better start swimming
or you'll sink like a stone
for the times they are a changing

Come writers and critics
who prophesize with your pen
And keep your eyes wide
the chance won't come again
And don't speak too soon
for the wheel's still in spin
And there's no telling who
that it's naming
For the loser now
will be later to win
for the times they are a changing

Come senators congressmen
Please heed the call
Don't stand in the doorway
Don't block up the hall
For he that gets hurt
will be he who has stalled
There's a battle outside raging
It'll soon shake your windows
and rattle your walls
for the times they are a-changing

Come mothers and fathers
throughout the land
And don't criticize
what you can't understand
Your sons and your daughters
are beyond your command
Your old road is
rapidly aging
Please get out of the new one
if you can't lend your hand
for the times they are a changing

The line it is drawn
the curse it is cast
The slow one now
will later be fast
As the present now
will later be past
The order is
rapidly fading
And the first one now
will later be last
for the times they are a changing
