Slipping Through My Fingers 时光从指间流逝，愿每一刻美好真挚停留

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


*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


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


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


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

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

小书包在手，大清早她走出家门口；
不经意地微笑，回头摆了摆手。
看着她离去，熟悉的失落涌上心头；
我得好好坐下，细数点滴温柔。

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

总感觉就这么和她错身，
再没有机会触碰她灵魂，
但依然感激她的每一次欢笑，
这个鬼机灵的小女生。

*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

时光如斯，从指尖流逝，
我也想让分分秒秒停止，
让每一刻美好真挚停留，
但时光依旧从指尖溜走。
我是否真明白她心中所想？
每一次靠近她的心灵殿堂，
她却又转身兀自成长，
光阴便如此，从指尖流淌。*

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

睡眼亦惺忪，我们端坐在餐桌两头；
半梦半醒之间，韶光偷偷溜走。
直到她走后，重又泛起的伤感忧愁，
还有我那些个，理还乱的内疚。

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

曾经的奇幻冒险哪里去了？
还有说好去看的那些美景。
（时光如斯，从指尖流逝。）
虽曾共同分享，但却多未成行，
究竟为什么？我也说不清。

（副歌部分重复）*

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

有时希望画面可以定格，
从时光漩涡中另存这一刻，
但却逝者如斯从指尖流逝。

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

小书包在手，大清早她走出家门口；
不经意地微笑，回头摆了摆手。

　　电影《妈妈咪呀》插曲。

　　记得这样一个镜头“Donna要送女儿Sophie出嫁了，帮女儿披嫁妆的时候，唱了一首歌，Slipping Through My Fingers”。这是电影《妈妈咪呀》里那位即将送女儿出嫁的单亲妈妈, 看著女儿的面容,有感而发想起和女儿曾经拥有过的一切而唱的歌, 歌词很简单、动人。旋律也非常动听。

　　每一个母亲看着待嫁的女儿都会有内心万千感慨。有喜悦，有惆怅，满心欢喜，却又依依不舍。
