Translation
Never Get Old
Since he gave his angels orders about you:
To protect you in all your travels1
They’ll carry you with their hands
So that your foot doesn’t strike a stone
You’ll tread on the lion and the snake
You’ll get to trample the young lion and the dragon
Young woman with a drink in her hand
She likes to listen to rock and roll
She moves with the music
'Cause it never gets old
It's the only thing
That never gets old
Young man in a quiet place
Got a hawk on his arm
He loves that bird
Never does no harm
It's the only thing
That never can do no harm
Must be the only thing
That never can do no harm
Sun setting on the avenue
Everyone walks by
They live their life under cover
Being blind
Being blind
Being blind
Since he gave his angels orders about you:
To protect you in all your travels
They’ll carry you with their hands
So that your foot doesn’t strike a stone
You’ll tread on the lion and the snake
You’ll get to trample the young lion and the dragon
Since he gave his angels orders about you:
To protect you in all your travels
They’ll carry you with their hands
So that your foot doesn’t strike a stone
You’ll tread on the lion and the snake
You’ll get to trample the young lion and the dragon
Since he gave his angels orders about you:
