Everybody's Free (To Wear Sunscreen)
Nigel Andrew Swanston, Tim Cox
Ladies and gentlemen of the class of '99
Wear sunscreen
If I could offer you only one tip for the future, sunscreen would be it
A long-term benefits of sunscreen have been proved by scientists
Whereas the rest of my advice has no basis more reliable
Than my own meandering experience, I will dispense this advice now
Enjoy the power and beauty of your youth, oh, never mind
You will not understand the power and beauty of your youth
Until they've faded, but trust me, in 20 years, you'll look back
At photos of yourself and recall in a way you can't grasp now
How much possibility lay before you and how fabulous you really looked
You are not as fat as you imagine
Don't worry about the future
Or worry, but know that worrying
Is as effective as trying to solve an algebra equation by chewing Bubble gum
The real troubles in your life
Are apt to be things that never crossed your worried mind
The kind that blindsides you at 4 p.m. on some idle Tuesday
Do one thing every day that scares you
Saying, don't be reckless with other people's hearts
Don't put up with people who are reckless with yours
Floss
Don't waste your time on jealousy
Sometimes you're ahead, sometimes you're behind
The race is long and in the end, it's only with yourself
Remember compliments you receive, forget the insults
If you succeed in doing this, tell me how
Keep your old love letters, throw away your old bank statements
Stretch
Don't feel guilty if you don't know what you want to do with your life
The most interesting people I know
Didn't know at 22 what they wanted to do with their lives
Some of the most interesting 40-year-olds I know still don't
Get plenty of calcium
Be kind to your knees
You'll miss them when they're gone
Maybe you'll marry, maybe you won't
Maybe you'll have children, maybe you won't
Maybe you'll divorce at 40, maybe you'll dance the 'Funky Chicken'
On your 75th wedding anniversary
Whatever you do, don't congratulate yourself too much
Or berate yourself either
Your choices are half chance, so are everybody else's
Enjoy your body, use it every way you can
Don't be afraid of it or what other people think of it
It's the greatest instrument you'll ever own
Dance, even if you have nowhere to do it but your own living room
Read the directions even if you don't follow them
Do not read beauty magazines, they will only make you feel ugly
Get to know your parents, you never know when they'll be gone for good
Be nice to your siblings, they're your best link to your past
And the people most likely to stick with you in the future
Understand that friends come and go
But a precious few, who should hold on
Work hard to bridge the gaps in geography and lifestyle
For as the older you get
The more you need the people you knew when you were young
Live in New York City once but leave before it makes you hard
Live in northern California once but leave before it makes you soft
Travel
Accept certain inalienable truths
Prices will rise, politicians will philander, you too, will get old
And when you do, you'll fantasize that when you were young
Prices were reasonable, politicians were noble
And children respected their elders
Respect your elders
Don't expect anyone else to support you
Maybe you have a trust fund, maybe you'll have a wealthy spouse
But you never know when either one might run out
Don't mess too much with your hair
Or by the time you're 40 it will look 85
Be careful whose advice you buy but be patient with those who supply it
Advice is a form of nostalgia, dispensing it is a way of fishing the past
From the disposal, wiping it off, painting over the ugly parts
And recycling it for more than it's worth
But trust me on the sunscreen
Ladies and gentlemen of the class of '99
Damen und Herren des Jahrgangs '99

Während der Rest meiner Ratschläge keine zuverlässigere Grundlage hat

Als meine eigene abschweifende Erfahrung, werde ich diesen Rat jetzt geben
Enjoy the power and beauty of your youth, oh, never mind
Genießen Sie die Kraft und Schönheit Ihrer Jugend, ach, vergessen Sie es
You will not understand the power and beauty of your youth
Sie werden die Kraft und Schönheit Ihrer Jugend nicht verstehen
Until they've faded, but trust me, in 20 years, you'll look back
Bis sie verblasst ist, aber vertrauen Sie mir, in 20 Jahren werden Sie zurückblicken
At photos of yourself and recall in a way you can't grasp now
Auf Fotos von sich selbst und sich auf eine Weise erinnern, die Sie jetzt nicht begreifen können
How much possibility lay before you and how fabulous you really looked
Wie viel Möglichkeit vor Ihnen lag und wie fabelhaft Sie wirklich aussahen
You are not as fat as you imagine
Sie sind nicht so dick, wie Sie sich vorstellen
Don't worry about the future
Machen Sie sich keine Sorgen um die Zukunft
Or worry, but know that worrying
Oder machen Sie sich Sorgen, aber wissen Sie, dass Sorgen machen
Is as effective as trying to solve an algebra equation by chewing Bubble gum
So effektiv ist, wie eine Algebra-Gleichung zu lösen, indem man Kaugummi kaut
The real troubles in your life
Die wirklichen Probleme in Ihrem Leben
Are apt to be things that never crossed your worried mind
Sind wahrscheinlich Dinge, die Ihnen nie in den Sinn gekommen sind
The kind that blindsides you at 4 p.m. on some idle Tuesday
Die Art, die Sie an einem faulen Dienstag um 16 Uhr überrascht
Do one thing every day that scares you
Tun Sie jeden Tag etwas, das Ihnen Angst macht
Saying, don't be reckless with other people's hearts
Sagen Sie, seien Sie nicht leichtsinnig mit den Herzen anderer Menschen
Don't put up with people who are reckless with yours
Lassen Sie sich nicht mit Menschen ein, die leichtsinnig mit Ihrem Herzen umgehen
Floss
Zahnseide benutzen
Don't waste your time on jealousy
Verschwenden Sie Ihre Zeit nicht mit Eifersucht
Sometimes you're ahead, sometimes you're behind
Manchmal liegen Sie vorn, manchmal hinten
The race is long and in the end, it's only with yourself
Das Rennen ist lang und am Ende geht es nur um Sie selbst
Remember compliments you receive, forget the insults
Erinnern Sie sich an die Komplimente, die Sie erhalten haben, vergessen Sie die Beleidigungen

Don't feel guilty if you don't know what you want to do with your life
Fühlen Sie sich nicht schuldig, wenn Sie nicht wissen, was Sie mit Ihrem Leben anfangen wollen
The most interesting people I know
Die interessantesten Menschen, die ich kenne

Maybe you'll divorce at 40, maybe you'll dance the 'Funky Chicken'
Vielleicht lassen Sie sich mit 40 scheiden, vielleicht tanzen Sie den 'Funky Chicken'
On your 75th wedding anniversary
An Ihrem 75. Hochzeitstag
Whatever you do, don't congratulate yourself too much
Was auch immer Sie tun, gratulieren Sie sich nicht zu sehr
Or berate yourself either
Oder tadeln Sie sich selbst
Your choices are half chance, so are everybody else's
Ihre Entscheidungen sind zur Hälfte Zufall, genau wie die aller anderen
Enjoy your body, use it every way you can
Genießen Sie Ihren Körper, nutzen Sie ihn auf jede erdenkliche Weise
Don't be afraid of it or what other people think of it
Haben Sie keine Angst davor oder vor dem, was andere Menschen davon halten
It's the greatest instrument you'll ever own
Es ist das größte Instrument, das Sie jemals besitzen werden
Dance, even if you have nowhere to do it but your own living room
Tanzen Sie, auch wenn Sie keinen anderen Ort dafür haben als Ihr eigenes Wohnzimmer
Read the directions even if you don't follow them
Lesen Sie die Anweisungen, auch wenn Sie ihnen nicht folgen
Do not read beauty magazines, they will only make you feel ugly
Lesen Sie keine Schönheitsmagazine, sie werden Sie nur hässlich fühlen lassen

But you never know when either one might run out
Aber man weiß nie, wann einer von beiden ausgehen könnte
Don't mess too much with your hair
Machen Sie nicht zu viel mit Ihren Haaren
Or by the time you're 40 it will look 85
Oder bis Sie 40 sind, werden sie aussehen wie 85

Seien Sie vorsichtig, wessen Rat Sie annehmen, aber haben Sie Geduld mit denen, die ihn geben
Advice is a form of nostalgia, dispensing it is a way of fishing the past
Rat ist eine Form von Nostalgie, ihn zu geben ist eine Art, die Vergangenheit zu fischen
From the disposal, wiping it off, painting over the ugly parts
Aus dem Abfall, ihn abzuwischen, die hässlichen Teile zu übermalen
And recycling it for more than it's worth
Und ihn für mehr als seinen Wert zu recyceln
