Father
It’s 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.
It’s 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
It’s 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,
It’s 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.

Prevod na srpski

Otac i sin

Otac
Nije vreme za promene,
Samo se opusti, polako!
Još uvek si mlad, to je tvoja greška,
Još mnogo toga moraš da naučiš.
Nađi devojku, skrasi se,
Ako želiš, možeš da se oženiš.
Pogledaj mene, star sam, ali sam srećan.

Nekad sam i ja bio kao što si ti sad i znam da nije lako
Biti miran kada zatekneš da se nešto dešava.
Ali ne žuri, razmisli dobro
Zašto misliš o svemu što imaš,
Za tebe će i dalje postojati sutra, ali možda ne i tvoji snovi

Sin
Kako da probam da objasnim, kada probam, on se opet udaljava
Uvek je bilo isto, ista stara priča.
Kad sam mogao da pričam, naređeno mi je da slušam.
Sada postoji put i znam da moram otići.
Znam da moram da idem.

Otac
Nije vreme za promene,
Samo sedi, primi to mirno.
Još uvek si mlad, to je tvoja greška,
Kroz još mnogo toga moraš proći.
Nađi devojku, skrasi se,
Ako želiš, možeš da se oženiš.
Pogledaj mene, star sam, ali sam srećan.

Sin
Kad god sam plakao, čuvajući sve što sam znao u sebi,
Teško je, ali je teže ignorisati.
Kad bi bili u pravu, ja bih se složio, ali to su oni, znaš, nisam ja.
Sada postoji put i znam da moram otići.
Znam da moram da idem.
