对于Cat Stevens 的歌《Father & Son》，我更喜欢的是它的歌词，歌词原文如下：

          Its not time to make a change,

          Just relax, take it easy.

          You're still young, that's your fault,

          There's so much you have to know.

          Find a girl, settle down,

          If you want you can marry.

          Look at me, I am old, but I'm happy.

 

          I was once like you are now, and I know that it's not easy,

          To be calm when you've found something going on.

          But take your time, think a lot,

          Why, think of everything you've got.

          For you will still be here tomorrow, but your dreams may not.

 

          Son:

          How can I try to explain, when I do he turns away again.

          Its always been the same, same old story.

          From the moment I could talk I was ordered to listen.

          Now there's a way and I know that I have to go away.

          I know I have to go.

 

          Father:

          Its not time to make a change,

          Just sit down, take it slowly.

          You're still young, that's your fault,

          There's so much you have to go through.

          Find a girl, settle down,

          If you want you can marry.

          Look at me, I am old, but I'm happy.

 

          Son:

          All the times  that I cried, keeping all the things I knew inside,

          Its hard, but it's harder to ignore it.

          If they were right, I'd agree, but it's them you know not me.

          Now there's a way and I know that I have to go away.

          I know I have to go.

对于这段歌词，伍加尝试翻译如下：

          父亲：

           现在还不必改弦更张，

           放松点，别惊慌。

           你还年轻，这没法子，

           前面的道路还很长很长。

           找个女孩，别再浪荡，

           如果合适，就步入婚姻殿堂。

           你看我，虽然老了，但过得很爽。

           我曾经像你这样，年轻但很迷茫。

           需要沉着冷静，遇事不慌。

           凡事三思而后行，

           权衡利弊，避短从长。

           明天虽然还会再来，

           但不一定还会有同样的梦想。

          儿子：

           我该怎样向你解释呢？

           当我要解释时，他又转身离开。

           他总是在重复同样的话，讲同样的老故事。

           从我会说话时起，就被教育要听话，

           现在，我有自己的主见了，

           我知道我必须离开。

          父亲：

           遇事不必急，不必慌，

           坐下来，慢慢讲。

           你还年轻，这没法子，

           你生活中还会有很多很多的风浪。

           找个女孩，别再浪荡，

           如果合适，就步入婚姻殿堂。

           你看我，虽然老了，但过得很爽。

          儿子：
           当我要哭泣时，总把痛苦深藏心间。
           这很难，但更难的是对它视而不见。
           他们如果是对的，那也只是对他们合适，
           现在我有自己的主见，
           我知道我必须离开。
