Ye Shall Be Changed
You harbor resentment
You know there ain’t too much of a thrill
You wish for contentment
But you got an emptiness that can’t be filled
You’ve had enough of hatred
Your bones are breaking, can’t find nothing sacred
Ye shall be changed, ye shall be changed
In a twinkling of an eye, when the last trumpet blows
The dead will arise and burst out of your clothes
And ye shall be changed
Everything you’ve gotten
You’ve gotten by sweat, blood and muscle
From early in the morning ’til way past dark
All you ever do is hustle
All your loved ones have walked out the door
You’re not even sure ’bout your wife and kids no more, but
Ye shall be changed, ye shall be changed
In a twinkling of an eye, when the last trumpet blows
The dead will arise and burst out of your clothes
And ye shall be changed
The past don’t control you
But the future’s like a roulette wheel spinning
Deep down inside
You know you need a whole new beginning
Don’t have to go to Russia or Iran
Just surrender to God and He’ll move you right here where you stand, and
Ye shall be changed, ye shall be changed
In a twinkling of an eye, when the last trumpet blows
The dead will arise and burst out of your clothes
And ye shall be changed
You drink bitter water
And you been eating the bread of sorrow
You can’t live for today
When all you’re ever thinking of is tomorrow
The path you’ve endured has been rough
When you’ve decided that you’ve had enough, then
Ye shall be changed, ye shall be changed
In a twinkling of an eye, when the last trumpet blows
The dead will arise and burst out of your clothes
And ye shall be changed
你须改变
[美]鲍勃·迪伦

你心怀怨忿
你知道没有多少刺激
你渴求满足
但你的空虚无法满足
你已有足够的仇恨
你的骨头在碎裂,不能感受到什么神圣
你须改变,你须改变
眨眼之间,号筒末次吹响
死者将复活,冲破你的衣裳
你也要改变
你既得之一切
都凭着汗、血和力获得
从清晨直干到黑暗降临
你所做的事就是奔波
所有你爱的人都出门离去
你甚至对你的妻子和孩子都不再确信无疑,但是
你须改变,你须改变
眨眼之间,号筒末次吹响
死者将复活,冲破你的衣裳
你也要改变
过去不能把控你
而未来像轮盘赌飞转
内心深处
你知道你需要一个全新起点
毋须去俄罗斯或伊朗
只要归顺上帝,他就会从你站立之处将你改变,而
你须改变,你须改变
眨眼之间,号筒末次吹响
死者将复活,冲破你的衣裳
你也要改变
你饮苦水
你一直吃愁苦饭
你不能为今日活
而总是在思虑着明天
你忍耐的路一直崎岖
而你决定不再忍受下去,那么
你须改变,你须改变
眨眼之间,号筒末次吹响
死者将复活,冲破你的衣裳
你也要改变
