Too Old to Rock 'N' Roll: Too Young to Die

The old rocker wore his hair too long
這位老搖滾歌手的頭髮太長
Wore his trouser cuffs too tight
褲腳太緊
Unfashionable to the end - drank his ale too light
從頭到尾都不時髦-喝的啤酒太淡
Death's head belt buckle - yesterday's dreams
死神的頭、皮帶扣-昨日的夢
The transport caf' prophet of doom
運輸咖啡館的末日預言家
Ringing no change in his double-sewn seams
在他的雙縫縫合線上沒有任何變化
In his post-war-babe gloom
在他戰後嬰兒般的的憂鬱中
Now he's too old to rock 'n' roll
現在他太老了搖滾不起來了
But he's too young to die
但他還年輕沒到死的時候

他曾擁有一輛哈雷戴維森和一輛凱旋邦納維爾
He once owned a Harley Davidson and a Triumph Bonneville
他的朋友們都帶著燒壞的火花塞
Counted his friends in burned-out spark plugs
祈禱他永遠都是
And prays that he always will
但他是最後一個貪婪的貴族男孩
But he's the last of the blue blood greaser boys
他所有的伙伴都在服刑
All of his mates are doing time
他婚後有三子就在環形道路旁邊
Married with three kids up by the ring road
出賣了他們的靈魂
Sold their souls straight down the line
其中某些人有小跑車
And some of them own little sports cars
就在網球俱樂部見面
And meet at the tennis club do's
週日飲酒作樂，週一上班
For drinks on a Sunday, work on Monday
他們扔掉了所有藍色麂皮鞋
They've thrown away their blue suede shoes
現在他們太老搖滾不起來了
Now they're too old to rock 'n' roll
但是也沒老到死的地步
And they're too young to die
這個老搖滾歌手下車了

在他離開前賺一大筆
So the old rocker gets out his bike
在蘇格蘭角的A1路上
To make a ton before he takes his leave
就像以前一樣
Up on the A1 by Scotch Corner
當他起飛的時候，眼淚在他眼框裡打轉
Just like it used to be
他飽經風霜的話語最後一次迴響
And as he flies, tears in his eyes
他在大約120英里的時候上了主幹道
His wind-whipped words echo the final take
沒有剎車的餘地
And he hits the trunk road doing around 120
他太老了搖滾不起來了
With no room left to brake
但他還沒老到要死的地步
And he was too old to rock 'n' roll
不，你不會老到不能搖滾
But he was too young to die
如果你還沒到死的時候
No, you're never too old to rock 'n' roll
If you're too young to die
