Watching the Wheels

Watching The Wheels

John・Lennon

　　People say I'm crazy doing what I'm doing
　　Well they give me all kinds of warnings to save me from ruin
　　When I say that I'm o.k. well they look at me kind of strange
　　Surely you're not happy now you no longer play the game
　　People say I'm lazy dreaming my life away
　　Well they give me all kinds of advice designed to enlighten me
　　When I tell them that I'm doing fine watching shadows on the wall
　　Don't you miss the big time boy you're no longer on the ball
　　I'm just sitting here watching the wheels go round and round
　　I really love to watch them roll
　　No longer riding on the merry-go-round
　　I just had to let it go
　　Ah, people asking questions lost in confusion
　　Well I tell them there's no problem, only solutions
　　Well they shake their heads and they look at me as if I've lost my mind
　　I tell them there's no hurry
　　I'm just sitting here doing time
　　I'm just sitting here watching the wheels go round and round
　　I really love to watch them roll
　　No longer riding on the merry-go-round
　　I just had to let it go
　　I just had to let it go
　　I just had to let it go
　　人们说我在做疯子般的事情
　　他们给我各种各样的警告想将我从毁灭中解救出来
　　当我说我很好我没事的时候他们却用奇怪的眼光看着我
　　当你无法孩童般自由嬉戏时肯定也就失去了那份快乐
　　人们说我是懒散的做着不切实际的白日梦
　　他们特意给我各种建议希望能够开导我
　　我告诉他们我很乐衷于看着墙上的影子
　　难道你现在不再玩球了就不怀念曾经的童年时光了吗？
　　我只是坐在这里看着轮子转呀转
　　我真的很喜欢看它们滚动
　　再也无法骑着旋转木马了
　　我仅仅是让它们转动
　　啊，人们提出问题却迷失在其中（或：人们提出问题却找不到答案）
　　我告诉他们本来就没有什么问题，哪来的答案呢？
　　他们摇头看着我好像我是傻子一样
　　我告诉他们不用着急
　　我就坐在这里制造时间呢（儿童说的话）
　　我只是坐在这里看着轮子转呀转
　　我真的很喜欢看它们滚动
　　再也无法骑着旋转木马了
　　我仅仅是让它们转动
