Hi, everybody!
I'm doing a translation of a literary work which purports that the Bob Dylan song, "The Times, They Are 'A-Changin'," is actually an English translation of an ancient Latin saying. I don't know a word of Latin, but I do need to cite the originally Latin if indeed this is a modern English translation of an ancient Latin saying.
Even if you know Latin, and know this is not from Latin, please post that anyway so I can know definitively one way or the other.
Thank you in advance for your help!

empora mutantur (tempora mutantur, nos et mutamur in illis)
This is indeed a modern English translation of a famous ancient Latin saying:
tempora mutantur
"The Times, They Are A-Changin'"
The entire Latin maxim is:
Tempora mutantur, nos et mutamur in illis.
"The times are changing and we are changing with them."
Best of luck!
Uale!

Sorry for the typo. Don't know how that happened.
