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

在中城，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

把从前的悠闲搬到老年时享受

其实，何不早早规划未来？

Now is faster, dating with your love,

after dinner no time left

In fact, time is innocent,

but it is all your mind’s fault

现在快，与恋人约会

吃个饭，没了时间

其实

与时间无关

是心理在作祟

With a peaceful mind,

walking around the Bell Tower in the old street

Choosing a book in the county library,

wandering in the old avenue on foot

You forget time has vanished

怀着一份平和

从钟楼老街溜达一圈

县图书馆选本书

老巷子里逛一逛

老了时光

Now is faster,

so fast that we always recall beauty in the past

Passionately think of the world once in its purest

现在快，

快到我们总是回忆起以前的美

然后疯狂想念那些纯净的世界

In fact, for your current anguish, beat it

Go to the North Square,

and close your eyes in a moment

overwhelming yourself

with those golden days in the past

Enjoy yourself with nothing in your heart

其实，暂且搁置现在的烦闷

去到北广场，然后闭上双眼

任那些美好将自己淹没

放空那个美好的世界享受下就好

It is good to be an ordinary person at hard thought

When you said slow pace is fine, I back you a lot

其实想想，做个中庸的人也不错

你说慢节奏生活好，我附和着

When he told fast pace adds more spice to life ,

I agree without second thought

Like mansion with its luxury,

tiny apartment with its refinement

Good or bad, tell me not

他说快节奏生活刺激，我也赞同

就像小公寓精致，大宅奢阔

各有千秋，委实难分好坏

No matter how slow the past time was,

how fast it is in the current

无论从前有多慢

无论现在有多快

I know, the earth under your feet,

the love around your heart

Treasure them with your best,

no matter in the past

or in the right moment.

我知道，脚下的土地和身边的爱人

无论从前还是现在

都要尽全力守护和珍惜
