Schoolbag in hand, she leaves home in the early morning 书包的手，她离开家在清晨

Waving goodbye with an absent-minded smile 挥手告别了一个心不在焉的微笑

I watch her go with a surge of that well known sadness 我看着她走与知名的忧伤激增

And I have to sit down for a while 我不得不坐下来一会

The feeling that I'm losing her forever 是我永远的失去她的感觉

And without really entering her world 并没有真正进入她的世界

I'm glad whenever I can share her laughter 我很高兴，每当我可以分享她的笑声

That funny little girl 这有趣的小女孩

   

Slipping through my fingers all the time 通过我的指缝中滑落时

I try to capture every minute 我试图抓住每分每秒

The feeling in it 在它的感觉

Slipping through my fingers all the time 通过我的指缝中滑落时

Do I really see what's in her mind 我真的看到在她的脑海里

Each time I think I'm close to knowing 每当我觉得我更了解她了

She keeps on growing 她不断成长

Slipping through my fingers all the time 通过我的指缝中滑落时

   

Sleep in our eyes, her and me at the breakfast table 睡在我们的眼前，我和她在早餐桌上

Barely awake I let precious time go by 勉强清醒，我让了宝贵的时间去

Then when she's gone, there's that odd melancholy feeling 然后，当她走了，还有这么奇怪的忧郁感

And a sense of guilt I can't deny 和内疚感，我不能否认

What happened to the wonderful adventures 发生了什么事，以精彩的冒险

The places I had planned for us to go 我本来计划让我们去的地方

Well, some of that we did, but most we didn't 那么，一些我们所做的，但大多数我们没有

And why, I just don't know 为什么呢，我只是不知道

   

Slipping through my fingers all the time 通过我的指缝中滑落时

I try to capture every minute 我试图抓住每分每秒

The feeling in it 在它的感觉

Slipping through my fingers all the time 通过我的指缝中滑落时

Do I really see what's in her mind 我真的看到在她的脑海里

Each time I think I'm close to knowing 每当我觉得我更了解她了

She keeps on growing 她不断成长

Slipping through my fingers all the time 通过我的指缝中滑落时

   

Sometimes I wish that I could freeze the picture 有时候，我希望我能冻结画面

And save it from the funny tricks of time 并保存它从时间的搞笑招数

   

Slipping through my fingers all the time 通过我的指缝中滑落时

   

Schoolbag in hand, she leaves home in the early morning 书包的手，她离开家在清晨

Waving goodbye with an absent-minded smile 挥手告别了一个心不在焉的微笑
