Tomorrow Is Today - Billy Joel
明天就是今天

I've been livin' for the moment我一直活在当下
But I just can't have my way但是我却没找到自己方向
And I'm afraid to go to sleep而且我不敢去睡觉
People tell me life is sweeter人们告诉我生活是比我想得更美好
But I don't hear what they say但我却听不见他们的话语
Nothing comes to change my life我的生活一成不变
So tomorrow is today所以明天将会和今天一样
I don't care to know the hour 几点几分于我，已经无所谓
'Cause it's passing anyway因为时间不管怎样都在流逝
I don't have to see tomorrow我没必要看到明天
'Cause I saw it yesterday因为我已在昨天见过
So I listen for and answer于是我认真倾听和回答
But the feeling seems to stay但是感觉似乎是一样
And what's the use of always dreaming梦想又有什么用
If tomorrow is today假如明天和今天一样？
Still I'm waiting for the morning但我仍在等待黎明
But it feels so far away但感觉如此遥远。
And you don't need the love I'm giving你并不需要我给的爱
So tomorrow is today因此，明天和今天又有什么两样
Oh, my. Goin' to the river噢.. 去到河边
Gonna take a ride and the Lord will deliver me要乘风而去，上帝会让我得到解脱
Made my bed, now I'm gonna lie in it 床是自己铺的，不管软硬都得自己躺
If you don't come, I'm sure gonna die in it 如果你不来，我就躺在这床上死去
Too late. Too much given太晚，给太多
I've seen a lot of life and I'm damn sick of livin' it 生活，经历太多；烦腻了，不想过了
I keep hopin' that you will pass my way我不停地祈祷你会到我身边
And some day if your dreams are leavin' you就算假如某一天梦想远离了你
I'll still believe in you 我仍然相信你
I'll still believe in you 我仍然相信你
I don't care to know the hour不愿知道时间
'Cause it's passing anyway因为它总不停流逝着
I don't have to see tomorrow我没必要看到明天
'Cause I saw it yesterday因为我已在昨天见过
Though I'm living and I'm singing尽管我现在还活着并且唱着歌
And although my hands still play尽管我的双手仍然弹奏着
Soon enough it will all be over但这一切，很快会结束
'Cause tomorrow is today因为明天不过就是今天。
