Dust If You Must

灰尘弹不尽

背景：窪田ミナ - 天気雨

朗读：美式发音

Dust if you must, but wouldn't it be better

To paint a picture, or write a letter,

Bake a cake, or plant a seed;

Ponder the difference between want and need?

想要掸灰清扫就做吧，但是

画幅画岂不更好，写封信岂不更妙

或者烤个面包，种棵小苗

思索一下什么是所欲，什么是所需

Dust if you must, but there's not much time,

With rivers to swim, and mountains to climb;

Music to hear, and books to read;

Friends to cherish, and life to lead.

想要掸灰清扫就做吧，但时间并非无限

还有大河要横渡，高山要征服

音乐要欣赏，书籍要阅读

友情要珍重，生活要享用

Dust if you must, but the world's out there

With the sun in your eyes, and the wind in your hair;

A flutter of snow, a shower of rain,

This day will not come around again.

想要掸灰清扫就做吧，但世界就在窗外

让阳光溢满双眸，轻风在发际舞动

任雪花翻飞，烟雨蒙蒙

今日过了，今日不再有

Dust if you must, but bear in mind,

Old age will come and it's not kind.

And when you go (and go you must)

You, yourself, will make more dust.

想要掸灰清扫就做吧，但不要忘记

年华易逝去，晚景常凄冷

去日无多时，归期迫近日

你，终要尘归尘，土归土
