Have you ever watched kids on a merry-go-round

你曾否看过孩子们骑旋转木马

Or listened to the rain slapping on the ground?

或听过雨水拍打地面的声音呢？

Ever followed a butterfly's erratic flight

你曾否追逐过飘忽不定的蝴蝶

Or gazed at the sun into the fading night?

或看着夕阳消失于地平线呢？

You'd better slow down.

放慢你的舞步。

Don't dance so fast.

不要匆匆忙忙。

Time is short.

人生苦短。

The music won't last.

音乐不会永远奏下去。

Do you run through each day on the fly?

你是否每天忙个不停？

When you ask "How are you?", do you hear the reply?

当问候别人时，你真的在意他们的回答吗？

When the day is done, do you lie in your bed

每晚就寝时

With the next hundred chores running through your head?

你是否仍在脑海中思虑着无数的杂事呢？

When you run so fast to get somewhere,

当你匆忙赶到目的地时，

You miss half the fun of getting there.

也就错过了旅途中一半的乐趣。

It is like an unopened gift...

就像一份礼物还没被拆开…

Thrown away...

就已丢弃…

Life is not a race.

人生不是一场竞赛。

Do take it slower,

放慢你的脚步

Hear the music

倾听沿途的音符

Before the song is over.

在音乐还没结束以前。
