Time. Hey. If anyone would be willing to translate this poem (or at least part of it) into Chinese, that'd be great. My apologies about the slightly depressing nature of it. Lol. Time, it is passing, yes passing too fast. Time, it reminds me, that life will not last. One breath, and the days, they are passing en masse, one blink, and the present, has become my past. It seems, only yesterday that my life began, but in my reflection, I now see a man. Though I don't want a lie, I can't bear the truth, That I, plain and simple, no more have my youth. Time! You have tricked me! I swung, and you ducked! Youth gone! Gone forever! Time passing, you suck! I give up, time tries. I shower, time dries. I walk, and time flies, I listen, and time lies. Now my days diminish, with speed and with strife. From the sack that was full, of the days of my life. A thief's crafty hand has stolen what's mine. The act was a crime. The thief, it was time.

Time.

Hey.

I shall try :) I hope my Chinese friends put in their two cents worth as well.  I'm sure I had many Chinese errors :(


Time, it is passing, yes passing too fast.

光陰溜溜太匆匆 Time slipping but too fast.
Time, it reminds me, that life will not last.

時刻觸觸命短短 Short is my life as the hours kept touching me.

One breath, and the days, they are passing en masse,

一喘千日渡如雲 One gasp, a thousand days cross like clouds
one blink, and the present, has become my past.

眨眼現時成過去 One blink and this moment became the past.

It seems, only yesterday that my life began,

昨日若如吾生启 It is as if that yesterday, my life had been awakened
but in my reflection, I now see a man.

只是映中一雄現, Only in the reflection, one male appeared.

Though I don't want a lie, I can't bear the truth,

難承真相謊不出 Hard it is to bear the truth but lies come not forth
That I, plain and simple, no more have my youth.

單純已絕青春無 No more simplicity and pureness and gone is my youth

 

Time! You have tricked me! I swung, and you ducked!

時刻騙我者! Time you trickster, 

我擊你躲! I attacked you ducked
Youth gone! Gone forever! Time passing, you suck!

青春絕! 永無返! 時已過, 你真衰! [I don't know any Mandarin slang for "suck" in this sense but I do know in Cantonese which has the exact meaning!  Its meaning is "bad"/horrible" with the same intent as in "you suck".  Hopefully those well verse can enlighten us.]
I give up, time tries. I shower, time dries.

我想放棄, 光陰必要試, I try to give up, time insists on trying

我滋潤, 時間晾 I moisturize but time dries
I walk, and time flies, I listen, and time lies.
我行, 時辰走, 我從, 時刻騙  Here I assume you are in a figurative mode, "to listen" ie "to follow/obey"
Now my days diminish, with speed and with strife.

日子漸少, 快如亂箭飛爭 Days diminish, fast like arrows in contention [for their target].

[literal meaning of 亂箭 is chaotic arrows ie a mass of arrows coming in towards the target from different directions]
From the sack that was full, of the days of my life.

滿於包袱是我壽 Full is my knapsack filled with my longevity
A thief's crafty hand has stolen what's mine.

神偷手中有我物 In the hands of the master thief are my posessions
The act was a crime. The thief, it was time.

行為非法, 盜者光陰是. The act is illegal, the robber is time.

Time.

Hey.

My apologies about the slightly depressing nature of it. Lol.

Time, it is passing, yes passing too fast. 时间是短暂的,流逝得如此之快
Time, it reminds me, that life will not last. 它让我想起生命不会长久
One breath, and the days, they are passing en masse, 在不经意地呼吸间,日子就都过去了
one blink, and the present, has become my past. 在不经意的眨眼间,现在已经成为过去

It seems, only yesterday that my life began, 仿佛昨天是我生命的起点
but in my reflection, I now see a man. 在我的脑海中浮现一个人(这句我不太明白,似乎与主题无关)
Though I don't want a lie, I can't bear the truth, 我不想说谎也不敢接受事实
That I, plain and simple, no more have my youth. 但是单纯和质朴的青春已经不复存在

Time! You have tricked me! I swung, and you ducked! 时间!你骗了我!我攻击,你躲闪!
Youth gone! Gone forever! Time passing, you suck! 青春已逝,永不回头,流失的时间真可恶!
I give up, time tries. I shower, time dries. 我放弃,你尝试,我给予,你吝啬
I walk, and time flies, I listen, and time lies. 我走,你飞,我倾听,你说谎

Now my days diminish, with speed and with strife. 现在我的日子正在以飞快的速度从我生命的宝库中减少
From the sack that was full, of the days of my life.
A thief's crafty hand has stolen what's mine. 盗贼狡猾的手里有我的财富
The act was a crime. The thief, it was time.这种行为是犯罪,这个窃贼是时间
