Se Me Está Escapando
ABBA
It's Slipping Away from Me
She goes so happily to school now
Saying goodbye with an absent smile
There she goes and in me I feel a sadness
Something that makes me perceive
She still belongs to me but less
In that world of her innocence
Happy to still share her laughter
And all her childhood
It's slipping away from me as she grows
How to make the minutes stop
Today?
It's slipping away from me as she grows
I will take care of her great fantasy
And as I discover her
She keeps growing
It's slipping away from me, I already know
In both of us, she and I dream at breakfast
And, unintentionally, I let time pass
When she leaves, I feel melancholy in me
A certain guilt that I can't pretend
Where are those adventures
And the places we were going to see?
We enjoyed a few things
There is so much to do!
It's slipping away from me as she grows
How to make the minutes stop
Today?
It's slipping away from me as she grows
I will take care of her great fantasy
And as I discover her
She keeps growing
It's slipping away from me, I already know
If I could freeze the image
Save time and its caprice in me
It's slipping away from me!
It's slipping away from me, I already know!
She goes so happily to school now
Saying goodbye with an absent smile.
