It's not time to make a change 现在还不是做出改变的时候
Just relax--take it easy 请放松点吧,别紧张
You're still young--that's your fault 你还是太年轻了,那是你的命门
There's so much you have to know 你需要学习的东西还很多
Find a girl, settle down 找个女孩安定下来,不再浪迹天涯
If you want, you can marry 如果你想,那么你可以步入婚姻的殿堂
Look at me--I am old 看着我,我已逐渐老去
But I'm happy 但我却很活得很开心
I was once like you are now 我也曾像你这样年轻过
And I know that it's not easy 而且我知道那并不容易
To be calm when you've found 当你发觉外头有些奇妙的事情时
Something going on 务必保持冷静
But take your time--think a lot 凡事三思而后行
While think of everthing you've got 思考你所拥有的一切
For you will still be here tomorrow 因为明天你的人依然会在这儿
But your dreams may not... 而你的梦想却并非如此…… （即做出改变必须谨慎,是否值得为梦想而失去现在所拥有的东西）
