Перевод песни Byrds, the - The times they are a-changin'

Come gather round people,
Wherever you roam,
And admit that the waters
Around you have grown,
And accept it that soon
You’ll be drenched to the bone.
If your time to you is worth savin’,
Then you better start swimming,
Or you’ll sink like a stone,
For the times they are a-changin’.

Come writers and critics
Who prophesize with your pen,
Keep your eyes open,
The chance won’t come again.
Watch what you say
For the wheel’s still in spin,
And there ain’t tellin’ who that it’s naming.
For the loser now
Will be later to win,
For the times they are a-changin’.

Come senators, congressmen,
Please heed the call,
Don’t stand in the doorway,
Don’t block up the hall.
For he who gets hurt
Will be he who has stalled.
The battle outside raging,
It’ll rattle your windows
And shake down your walls,
For the times they are a-changin’.

Come mothers and fathers
Throughout the land
And don’t criticise
What you can’t understand.
Your sons and your daughters
Are beyond your command.
Your old road is rapidly aging
Get out of the new one
If you can’t lend your hand,
For the times they are a-changin’.
