时光不过是一道浮光锦年不过是素锦流年
[shí guāng bù guò shì yī dào fú guāng jĭn nián bù guò shì sù jĭn liú nián]
Elegantly compares the passage of time ('时光') to shimmering fleeting light, and youth/beautiful years to rich yet passing moments (literally 'brocade years'), reflecting on how life's splendor fades gradually with time.
