A Change Is Gonna Come

A Change Is Gonna Come - Sam Cooke

Written by：Cooke

I was born by the river

我出生在河边的

In a little tent

一个小帐篷中

And just like the river I've been running

就像着河流一样

Ever since

自此我奔流不息

It's been a long a long time coming

虽然还需要很长很长时间

But I know a change is gonna come oh yes it will

但是我知道改变将至 一定会来的

It's been too hard living

生活是如此的艰辛

But I'm afraid to die

但是我惧怕死亡

Cause I don't know what's up there

因为我不清楚这世界发生了什么

Beyond the sky

九天之外

It's been a long a long time coming

虽然还需要很长很长时间

But I know a change is gonna come oh yes it will

但是我知道改变将至 一定会来的

I go to the movie

我去看电影

And I go downtown

我去市中心

Somebody keep telling me don't hang around

有的人一直告诫我不要在这里逗留

It's been a long a long time coming

虽然还需要很长很长时间

But I know a change is gonna come oh yes it will

但是我知道改变将至 一定会来的

Then I go to my brother

然后我来到我的同胞面前

And I say brother help me please

我说：请你们帮帮我

But he winds up knockin' me

但是他挥拳打倒了我

Back down on my knees

我跪在了地上

There been times that I thought I couldn't last for long

有时候我真的觉得坚持不下去

But now I think I'm able to carry on

但是现在我相信我已经可以继续向前

It's been a long a long time coming

虽然还需要很长很长时间

But I know a change is gonna come oh yes it will

但是我知道改变将至 一定会来的
