Dust If You Must -- Rose Milligan
灰塵彈不盡--羅斯·米里根
Dust if you must, but wouldn't it be better
想要撣灰清掃就做吧,但是
To paint a picture, or write a letter
畫幅畫豈不更好,寫封信豈不更妙
Bake a cake, or plant a seed
或者烤個(gè)面包,種棵小苗
Ponder the difference between want and need
思索一下什么是所欲,什么是所需
Dust if you must, but there's not much time
想要撣灰清掃就做吧,但時(shí)間并非無限
With rivers to swim, and mountains to climb
還有大河要橫渡,高山要征服
Music to hear, and books to read
音樂要欣賞,書籍要閱讀
Friends to cherish, and life to lead
友情要珍重,生活要享用
Dust if you must, but the world's out there
想要撣灰清掃就做吧,但世界就在窗外
With the sun in your eyes, and the wind in your hair
讓陽光溢滿雙眸,輕風(fēng)在發(fā)際舞動(dòng)
A flutter of snow, a shower of rain
任雪花翻飛,煙雨蒙蒙
This day will not come around again
今日過了,今日不再有
Dust if you must, but bear in mind
想要撣灰清掃就做吧,但不要忘記
Old age will come and it's not kind
年華易逝去,晚景常凄冷
And when you go, and go you must
去日無多時(shí),歸期迫近日
You, yourself, will make more dust
你,終要塵歸塵,土歸土
