Question
Hi there!

I have to make a some PhotoShop work, and got this "poem" I would like to have translated to Latin. The reason why, is just that it fits better in latin that in english. Both me and the people behind the request would be very gratefull for a quick answer.

START -->
I've lived half my life in the past
The other half, in what's to come
I have now tried to live for the day, but
I couldn't find meaning, anywhere...
<-- END

Thanks in advance!...


Answer
Hello,

here’s the translation you are looking for:

In praeteritis dimidium vixi vitae.
In futuris dimidium aliud.
Nunc in dies conatus sum vivere, sed
Nusquam ullum invenire potui sensum.

Best regards,
Maria
