Just One Lifetime [Persian translation]

The time has come, the Walrus said

To talk of many things

Of ships and shoes and sealing wax

Of cabbages and kings

Life a the greatest gift given to humanity

Surround yourself with a lot a positive energy

Yuh can't buy it even if yuh have whole heap a money

And dat's why we spread love ina the community

Yuh coulda be small man or a celebrity

Yuh coulda live uptown or di inner city

We need a world full peace and serenity

Sting come sing out fi everybody

The time has come, as Shaggy said

To talk of many things

Of ships and shoes and sealing wax

Of cabbages and kings

The planets turn in retrograde

The moon seems to have fled

The world is spinning upside down

And landed on its head

Just one lifetime

And there’s only one, yes there’s only one

Just one life to live

Assuming that we’ll make it

We’ve no choice but to take it

I’m with you, the Walrus said

We’ll dress for heavy weather

Whatever’s on the road ahead

We’re in this now together

We thought we’d make a run for it

Not knowing where we’re headed

We packed the car with both our bags

And filled her up unleaded

Just one lifetime

And there’s only one, yes there’s only one

Just one life to live

Assuming that we’ll make it

We’ve no choice but to take it

Come make we take a page out a di book of life

Leggo negativity and do what’s right

We no longer need fi a fuss or fight

Unite the world and show dem di right

Dis generation a set a new trend

Replace di word enemy wid friend

Leaders a di world these rules can’t bend

Dis a di message we a send to dem

The time had come, a reckoning

We all knew it was coming

We headed North on empty roads

The engine gently humming

The Walrus smoked a cigarette

He claimed it was his last

No signs of life, no gas, no food

In all the empty towns we passed

All we have is me and you

It has to be enough

I’ve got your back and you’ve got mine

If the going it gets rough

Just one lifetime

And there’s only one, yes there’s only one

Just one life to live

Assuming that we’ll make it

We’ve no choice but to take it

The time has come, the Walrus said

To talk of many things

Of ships and shoes and sealing wax

Of cabbages and kings.
