Time was slower in the past,
Carriage, horse, mail needs time a little bit.
Even one greeting needs days to be passed.
从前的日光很慢 ,
车 , 马 , 邮件都慢 ,
一个问候 , 要等上好多天 。
The moonlight was slower in the past,
with leisure, being indolent,
The whole dawn needs a cup of tea to interpret
With little stars twinkling,
moments in your dreams move fast.
从前的月光很慢 ,
有点闲 , 有点懒 ,
在一杯茶里消磨了整个黄昏 ,
在半个梦里看星星满天 。
The pace was slower in the past.
From one village to another near it,
One needs a whole day on foot.
从前的脚步好慢 , 从一个村子
到另一个村子 ,
要走一天的时间 。
The days were slower but warmer in the past.
Through a touch of light mist.
Year after year, time is out.
从前的日子很慢很暖 ,
裹在淡淡的烟火里 ,
日日年年 。
The handkerchiefs were finer in the past
Young ladies with soft eyebrows
in their perfect fit
stitch by stitch,
more delicate
从前的手帕也好看 ,
最是那低眉的女子
精致的 , 一针一线 。
It took time to fall in love in the past
So slow, one needs one's lifetime
seeking for Mr/Ms Right.
So slow, you need your whole life
to love people that suit.
从前的爱情很慢 ,
慢的 , 用一辈子去等一个人 。
慢的 , 一生只够爱一个人 。
Now with everything on the go,
one gets up earlier a little bit.
No time to say good morning,
even a hug you cannot wait.
现在快 ,
快到每天早早起床 ,
来不及说早安 ,
来不及拥抱 。
In fact, in the city center,
even 5 minutes' on foot.
Or a bit of leisure time after your breakfast.
Everything is different.
其实 ,
在城市中心 , 5分钟
茶余饭后的那一点点闲暇时光 ,
就变了一个样 。
Now is faster,
everything is in the replacement.
So fast that life is easily to be parted
even you cannot notice it.
现在快 ,
什么都在更新换代 ,
快到将生活扰的七零八落 。
In fact, cluttered life can be combined
by one after one highlight.
Like the classical furnishings
mixed with modern decorations
in a sample apartment.
Less dull, less stale, much more exquisite.
其实 , 杂乱的生活也可以拼凑出一个个美好 ,
就像样板间里带着古典气息的摆设 ,
和现代化装修的搭一起 。
少了分沉闷古旧 ,
多了份细腻 。
Now time flies faster,
just keep the pace after complaint.
Strive for your dream with your daring heart.
Embrace your leisure time
until you are old but not in the past.
Why not plan for your future earlier
to some extent?
现在快 , 抱怨几句 , 仍要跟上节奏 。
朝着自己的梦想 , 再努把力 。
