Se Me Está Escapando

It's Slipping Away from Me

Se Me Está Escapando

She goes so happily to school nowElla se va tan feliz a la escuela ahora
Saying goodbye with an absent smileDiciendo adiós con ausente sonreir
There she goes and in me I feel a sadnessAlli se va y en mi siento una tristeza
Something that makes me perceiveAlgo que me hace percibir
She still belongs to me but lessAun me pertenece pero menos
In that world of her innocenceEn ese mundo de su candidez
Happy to still share her laughterFeliz de compartir aún su risa
And all her childhoodY toda su niñez

It's slipping away from me as she growsSe me está escapando al crecer
How to make the minutes stop¿Cómo lograr que se detengan
Today?Hoy los minutos?
It's slipping away from me as she growsSe me está escapando al crecer
I will take care of her great fantasySu gran fantasía cuidaré
And as I discover herY cuando la voy descubriendo
She keeps growingSigue creciendo
It's slipping away from me, I already knowSe me está escapando ya lo sé

In both of us, she and I dream at breakfastHay en las dos ella y yo sueño al desayuno
And, unintentionally, I let time passY, sin querer, dejo el tiempo transcurrir
When she leaves, I feel melancholy in meCuando se va siento en mí la melancolía
A certain guilt that I can't pretendCierta culpa que no sé fingir
Where are those adventures¿Por dónde están aquellas aventuras
And the places we were going to see?Y los lugares que íbamos a ver?
We enjoyed a few thingsAlgunas pocas cosas disfrutamos
There is so much to do!¡Hay tanto por hacer!

It's slipping away from me as she growsSe me está escapando al crecer
How to make the minutes stop¿Cómo lograr que se detengan
Today?Hoy los minutos?
It's slipping away from me as she growsSe me está escapando al crecer
I will take care of her great fantasySu gran fantasía cuidaré
And as I discover herY cuando la voy descubriendo
She keeps growingSigue creciendo
It's slipping away from me, I already knowSe me está escapando ya lo sé

If I could freeze the imageSi yo pudiera congelar la imagen
Save time and its caprice in meGuardar el tiempo y su capricho en mí
It's slipping away from me!¡Se me está escapando!

It's slipping away from me, I already know!¡Se me está escapando ya lo se!

She goes so happily to school nowElla se va tan feliz a la escual ahora
Saying goodbye with an absent smile.Diciendo adiós con ausente sonreir.
