Lyrics:

[English]

[中文]

You can tell your old man

你可以跟你老爸说

You'll do some large-mouth fishing another time

改天再去钓大嘴鲈鱼吧

You just got too much on your plate

你现在实在太忙了

To bait and cast a line

没空下饵抛线

You can always put a rain check in his hand

你可以先给他个承诺

'Til you can't

直到你再也无法做到

...

...

You can keep putting off forever

你可以一直拖延下去

With that girl whose heart you hold

和那个你深爱的女孩

Swearing that you'll ask someday, further down the road

发誓说总有一天会求婚，在未来的某一天

You can always put a diamond on her hand

你可以随时把钻戒戴在她手上

'Til you can't

直到你再也无法做到

...

...

If you got a chance, take it

如果有了机会，抓住它

Take it while you got a chance

趁着你还有机会的时候

If you got a dream chase it

如果有了梦想，追逐它

'Cause a dream won't chase you back

因为梦想不会反过来追你

If you're gonna love somebody

如果你要爱一个人

Hold 'em as long and as strong and as close as you can

就尽可能长久、用力、亲密地拥抱他们

'Til you can't

直到你再也无法做到

...

...

There's a box of greasy parts sitting in the trunk of that '65

那台65年的车后备箱里，有一箱油腻腻的零件

Still waitin' on you and your grandad to bring it back to life

还在等着你和你爷爷一起让它重获新生

You can always get around to fixing up that Pontiac

你可以总想着找时间修理那辆庞蒂亚克

'Til you can't

直到你再也无法做到

If you got a chance, take it

如果有了机会，抓住它

Take it while you got a chance

趁着你还有机会的时候

If you got a dream chase it

如果有了梦想，追逐它

'Cause your dream won't chase you back

因为梦想不会反过来追你

If you're gonna love somebody

如果你要爱一个人

Hold on as long and as strong and as close as you can

就尽可能长久、用力、亲密地拥抱他们

'Til you can't

直到你再也无法做到

...

...

So take that phone call from your mama

所以接起你妈妈的电话

And just talk away

好好聊一聊

'Cause you never know how bad you wanna

因为你永远不知道你有多么想

'Til you can't someday

直到某一天你再也无法做到

Don't wait on tomorrow, 'cause tomorrow may not show

不要等到明天，因为明天可能不会来

Say your sorry's, your I love you's

说出你的抱歉，你的我爱你

'Cause man, you never know

因为，兄弟，你永远不知道

If you got a chance, take it

如果有了机会，抓住它

Take it while you got a chance

趁着你还有机会的时候

If you got a dream chase it

如果有了梦想，追逐它

'Cause a dream won't chase you back

因为梦想不会反过来追你

If you're gonna love somebody

如果你要爱一个人

Hold 'em as long and as strong and as close as you can

就尽可能长久、用力、亲密地拥抱他们

'Til you can't

直到你再也无法做到

Yeah, if you got a chance, take it

是啊，如果有了机会，抓住它

Take it while you got a chance

If you got a dream chase it

'Cause a dream won't chase you back

If you're gonna love somebody
