Slipping Through My Fingers

Slipping Through My Fingers

Schoolbag in hand,
she leaves home in the early morning
Waving goodbye with an absent-minded smile
I watch her go with a surge of that well-known sadness
And I have to sit down for a while
The feeling that I'm losing her forever
And without really entering her world
I'm glad whenever I can share her laughter
That funny little girl

她手里拿着书包
在清晨离开家
挥手再见
带着心不在焉的微笑
我看着她离开
心里涌起难言的忧伤
我不得不坐了下来
感觉还未曾真正进入她的世界
就将永远的失去她
很高兴可以分享她的欢笑
那个可爱的小女孩

Slipping through my fingers all the time
I try to capture every minute
The feeling in it
Slipping through my fingers all the time
Do I really see what's in her mind
Each time I think I'm close to knowing
She keeps on growing
Slipping through my fingers all the time

时间在指缝中流逝
我试图把握每一分钟
感觉时间在指缝中流逝
我真的了解她吗？
每当我接近想了解她时
她一直在成长
时间在指缝中流逝

Sleep in our eyes,
her and me at the breakfast table
Barely awake,
I let precious time go by
Then when she's gone
there's that odd melancholy feeling
And a sense of guilt I can't deny
What happened to the wonderful adventures
The places I had planned for us to go
(Slipping through my fingers all the time)
Well, some of that we did but most we didn't
And why I just don't know

睡眼惺忪
她和我坐在早餐桌旁
半梦半醒
宝贵的时间在流逝
当她离开
忧伤袭上心头
和无法忽视的罪恶感
我们的冒险到底怎么了
那些我打算去的地方
（时间在指缝中流逝）
有些如愿了
可是绝大部分还只是个梦
但为什么，我却不知道

Slipping through my fingers all the time
I try to capture every minute
The feeling in it
Slipping through my fingers all the time
Do I really see what's in her mind
Each time I think I'm close to knowing
She keeps on growing
Slipping through my fingers all the time

时间在指缝中流逝
我试图把握每一分钟
感觉时间在指缝中流逝
我真的了解她吗？
每当我接近想了解她时
她一直在成长
时间在指缝中流逝

Sometimes I wish that I could freeze the picture
And save it from the funny tricks of time
Slipping through my fingers...
Slipping through my fingers all the time

很多时候我希望能够定格画面
留住那转瞬即逝的时间
它却从指间悄然流逝

Schoolbag in hand
she leaves home in the early morning
Waving goodbye with an absent-minded smile...

她手里拿着书包
在清晨离开家
挥手再见
带着心不在焉的微笑......
