And our lives shall slip away

[Anonymous]

Im trying to translate the phrase
'and our lives shall slip away'

(as in the plural of 'my life shal slip away' not sure if lives shud be live's int th respect :s.

I looked round a few sites and I think 'quod nostra ago vadum dilabor' shud be right but im not sure. Is this correct? if not does anyone have any ideas what it should be?

thanks in advance xx

You can say: "vitae nostrae labentur" or "vitae nostrae lapsurae sunt" or "vita nobis labetur" or "vita nobis lapsura est"

As for the expression "quod nostra ago vadum dilabor" let's inadvertently forget it.

I like the use of labi, akin to the ol' "fugaces labuntur anni".

My vote goes with the first.
