I turned on the evening news 我打开了晚间新闻

Saw a old man being interviewed 看见一个老头正在接受采访

Turning a hundred and two today 谈到今天的百两

Asked him what's the secret to life 问他有什么秘密生活

He looked up from his old pipe 他从旧管抬头

Laughed and said "All I can say is." 笑着说： “我能说的是。 ”

   

[Chorus:] [合唱： ]

Don't blink 千万别眨眼

Just like that you're six years old and you take a nap and you 就像你是六十岁，你打个盹，你

Wake up and you're twenty-five and your high school sweetheart becomes your wife 醒醒吧，你是25 ，你的高中时的恋人变成了你的妻子

Don't blink 千万别眨眼

You just might miss your babies growing like mine did 你也许会想念你的宝宝越来越多像我这样做

Turning into moms and dads next thing you know your better half 变成妈妈和爸爸接下来的事情你知道你的另一半

Of fifty years is there in bed 五十年有在床上

And you're praying God takes you instead 而你祈祷上帝把你代替

Trust me friend a hundred years goes faster than you think 相信我的朋友一百年去的速度比你想

So don't blink 所以，千万别眨眼

   

I was glued to my TV and it looked like he looked at me and said 我被粘在我的电视，它看上去就像他看了我一眼，说：

"Best start putting first things first." “最开始将首先第一件事情。 ”

Cause when your hourglass runs out of sand 因为当你的沙漏用完的沙子

You can't flip over and start again 你不能翻转过来，然后重新启动

Take every breathe God gives you for what it's worth 抓住每一次呼吸，神所赐你为它的价值

   

[Chorus] [合唱]

   

I've been tryna slow it down 我一直tryna慢下来

I've been tryna take it in 我一直tryna把它

In this here today gone tomorrow world we're livin' in 在这个今天走了，明天的世界，我们正在活着的

   

[Chorus] [合唱]

   

Now, don't blink 现在，千万别眨眼
