Life's Brief Candle
To-morrow and to-morrow and to-morrow crips in this petty pace from day to day, to the last syllable of recorded time, and all our yesterdays have lighted fool the way to dusty death. Out, out, brief candle! life's but a walking shadow, a poor player, that struts and frets his hour upon the stage, And then is heard no more; it is a tale. Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury,
Signifying nothing

merayap perlahan-lahan
dear abu nawas,
below full translation according to my personal interpretation of this exerpt of William Faulkner's famous work.
please be aware that translations of literary pieces are seldom direct and may differ significantly according to different translators' interpretations. translators also may take a lot of license. perhaps you should have put this request to the pros for better responses. or, at least, list the field correctly as Art/Literary instead of just Other.

Cahaya Hidup yang Sedetik
Esok demi esok demi esok merayap perlahan-lahan dari hari ke hari, hingga ke suku kata masa yang paling penghabisan, dan semua hari semalam kita telah menyuluh yang bebal ke arah debu kematian. Padam, padamlah, cahaya singkat! hidup hanya bayangan yang berlalu, bak pelakon tak berbakat, yang tempohnya di pentas penuh dengan lagak dan risau, Dan kemudian tidak kedengaran lagi; ia hanya satu kisah. Dicerita oleh si tolol, dengan riuh dan penuh perasaan, Tapi tiada bermakna.
