This phrase, literally translated to 'the time that goes doesn't come back', is a way to express that time once passed cannot be regained or recovered. It's often used to emphasize the importance of making good use of time, or to express regret over wasted time.
Examples
- Spanish: Deberías estudiar para el examen ahora mismo. Recuerda, el tiempo que se va no vuelve.
- English: You should study for the exam right now. Remember, the time that goes doesn't come back.
