Slipping Through my Fingers

Among all the songs in "Mamma Mia", I like "Slipping Through my Fingers" most although it is not as popular as "The Winner Takes it All" .

Slipping Through my Fingers
Schoolbag in hand 她提著書包
She leaves home in the early morning 在晨曦中踏出家門
Waving goodbye揮手道別時
With an absent-minded smile 露出一臉漫不經心的笑容

I watch her go 看著她離去
With a surge of that well-known sadness 心頭湧上一股莫名的哀愁
And I have to sit down for a while 我要坐下稍事喘息
The feeling that I'm losing her forever 我快將要永遠失去她了
And without really entering her world  但卻從不曾進入過她的內心世界
I'm glad whenever I can share her laughter 每次分享她的笑聲我總感欣慰
That funny little girl 好一個逗人的小丫頭...

Slipping through my fingers all the time 歲月總是在彈指間流逝
I try to capture every minute 我嘗試捕捉每一刻
The feeling in it 每一絲感覺
Slipping through my fingers all the time 歲月總是在彈指間流逝
Do I really see what's in her mind 我真能看透她的心嗎?
Each time I think I'm close to knowing 每次當我以為我快將懂了
She keeps on growing  可惜她又長大了

Slipping through my fingers all the time 歲月總是在彈指間流逝
Sleep in our eyes 睡眼惺忪
Her and me at the breakfast table 我倆依偎在餐桌前
Barely awake 似夢半醒
I let precious time go by 我任由寶貴的光陰荏載
Then when she's gone 然後當她走了
There's that odd melancholy feeling  湧上心頭的是那種憂郁感
And a sense of guilt 還有那股
I can't deny  我無法否定的內疚

What happened to the wonderful adventures 那些奇妙的冒險旅程怎麼了?
The places I had planned for us to go 那些我倆曾說過要結伴同行的地方呢﹖
Well some of that we did  我們確曾在某些地方留下足印
But most we didn't  但大部份仍是遙遙無期
And why I just don't know 為什麼... 我摸不著頭腦

Slipping through my fingers all the time 歲月總是在彈指間流逝
I try to capture every minute 我嘗試捕捉每一刻
The feeling in it 每一絲感覺
Slipping through my fingers all the time 歲月總是在彈指間流逝
Do I really see what's in her mind 我真能看透她的心嗎?
Each time I think I'm close to knowing 每次當我以為我快將懂了
She keeps on growing  可惜她又長大了

Slipping through my fingers all the time 歲月總是在彈指間流逝
Sometimes I wish that I could freeze the picture有時我多麼希望能把那一片段凝固
And save it from the funny tricks of time  讓那一刻永留回憶
Slipping through my fingers -  但歲月總是在彈指間流逝啊..
