請問時間 Time， May I ask you a question?

nián jì xiǎo de shí hòu                             shí jiān zǒng shì gǎn bu shàng wǒ
年纪小的时候            时间总是赶不上我

When I was still little,                 Time could not catch up with me.

wǒ děng ya děng ya děng ya                      tā zǒng zài hòu miàn màn man de gēn  
我等呀等呀等呀         它总在后面慢慢的跟
I waited and waited and waited, yet it always lagged behind me.

jiàn jiàn zhǎng dà yǐ hòu                           shí jiān kāi shǐ duì wǒ rèn zhēn
渐渐长大以后             时间开始对我认真
As I grew up a bit,                        Time took me in as a real match.

wǒ pīn ya pīn ya pīn ya                              wǒ men liǎ yòu shì shū yíng bù fēn
我拼呀拼呀拼呀         我们俩又是输赢不分
I sped up with my might,           we two ended up in ties.

zài guò jǐ nián yǐ hòu                                 shí jiān pǎo dào wǒ de qián tou
再过几年以后             时间跑到我地前头
A few years later,                        Time shot up ahead of me.

wǒ zhuī ya zhuī ya zhuī ya                        tā què zài qián miàn tóu yě bù huí
我追呀追呀追呀          它却在前面头也不回
I chased and chased and chased, but it didn’t bother to wait a sec.

shí jiān shí jiān děng děng wǒ                  wǒ yǒu huà yào shuō ó yǒu huà yào shuō
时间时间等等我           我有话要说 哦有话要说
Hey Time, please wait for me.     I have something to ask of you.

qǐng nǐ qǐng nǐ gào sù wǒ                            rén shēng yīngdāng zěn me guò
请你请你告诉我           人生应当怎么过
Please let me know,                       how should I spend my time in this life?
