〇 It's getting late. Let's hit the road.
もう遅いから、そろそろ帰りましょう。
This idiom is also famous from a classic 1961 Ray Charles song
called "Hit the Road, Jack". Here's the first line:
Hit the road, Jack, and don't you come back
No more, no more, no more, no more
The Japanese translation is:
出て行ってジャック、2度と戻るな。
Poor Jack!
Anyway, that's it for today.
