  1. 时间 等不了人

    Time waits for no one,

  2. 生活中 一不留神

    In life, you blink and you miss it.

  3. 转个眼秒杀了

    In a flash, it's gone,

  4. 随秒针蒸发了

    Vanishing with the ticking second hand.

  5. 昨天变成了今天

    Yesterday became today,

  6. 过去变成了现在

    The past turned into the present,

  7. 未来刚才来

    The future just arrived,

  8. 它从何而来

    But where did it come from?

  1. 岁月 眨眼就过了

    Time passes in the blink of an eye,

  2. 瞬间 就那样默默的

    In an instant, just quietly fades away.

  3. 上一次看 才二十三

    Last time I looked, I was just twenty-three

  4. 现在的日子没有那么简单

    Life today isn't quite so simple

  5. 树叶 又要撒落了

    Leaves are about to fall again

  6. 花儿 就快要复活了

    Flowers are soon to bloom back to life

  7. 回想以前 没那么累

    Thinking back then, things were less weary

  8. 现在的白发 和皱纹匹配

    Now the gray hair matches the wrinkles

  9. 也是一种美

    It's its own kind of beauty

  10. 青春 是一个梦

    Youth is but a fleeting dream

  11. 人生 如一阵春风

    Life is like a gentle spring breeze

  12. 不经意的飘过

    Drifting by without a care

  13. 境界蓦然辽阔

    The realm suddenly stretches vast and wide,

  14. 昨天变成了今天

    Yesterday has turned into today.

  15. 过去变成了现在

    The past has transformed into the now.

  16. 未来刚才来

    The future just arrived,

  17. 它从何而来

    But where did it come from?

  18. 岁月 眨眼就过了

    Time passes in the blink of an eye,

  19. 瞬间 就那样默默的

    In an instant, it silently slips away.

  20. 上一次看 才二十三

    The last time I saw it, I was just twenty-three.

  21. 现在的日子没有那么简单

    These days aren't so simple anymore.

  22. 树叶 又要撒落了

    The leaves are about to fall once more.

  23. 花儿 就快要复活了

    The flowers are about to come back to life.

  24. 回想以前 没那么累

    Looking back, it wasn't so tiring.

  25. 现在的白发 和皱纹匹配

    The white hair now matches the wrinkles.

  26. 也是一种美

    It's a kind of beauty too.

  27. 放下那 曾经 留下那 痕迹

    Let go of the past, but keep the marks it left.

  28. 前方的你 别忘了自己

    You ahead, don't forget yourself.

  29. 成长是 永远 离别是 空悬

    Growing up is eternal, and parting is just an empty void.

  30. 在千寻之外 我依然存在

    Beyond a thousand searches, I still exist.

  31. 岁月 眨眼就过了

    Time passes in the blink of an eye.

  32. 瞬间 就那样默默的

    In an instant, it quietly unfolds.

  33. 上一次看 才二十三

    Last time I looked, I was just twenty-three

  34. 现在的日子

    Now these days
