Hello,

Could you you please translate this for me.

"life goes on"

in the meaning of "look forward", not the spiritual meaning after death.

thank you very much!

來者可追

or the whole phrase

逝者已矣,來者可追。

The saying comes from Confucius' Analects:

往者不可諫,來者猶可追。

生活继续吧

Yes.

That is a crude literal translation. It doesn't work.
