Slipping through my fingers 從指縫中流逝 - from Mama Mia

很喜歡ABBA 的歌, 電影媽媽咪呀! 將ABBA 多首好聽的歌曲完美呈現出來, 其中由Meryl Streep 梅莉史翠普所唱的這首Slipping though my fingers 非常動人, 我個人喜歡Meryl Steep 唱的版本,勝過ABBA 所唱的, 因為覺得Meryl Streep 將對孩子即將出嫁的不捨很動人的呈現出來, 讓我回想起當年出嫁時,爸媽含淚將我交給老公的心情, 再想到以後Howard 以後外出唸書或成家立業離家的情景, 所以每看必哭啦!><

這也讓我想起最近讀的書- 蔡穎卿的書-"漫步生活" 裡的其中一篇 -窗前送別, 說到當她的女兒Pony 要到國外念書時的她的心情 , 心裡萬般不捨卻還是得放手, 那溫柔的想念呀!

Slipping Through My Fingers - Streep, Meryl

Schoolbag in hand, she leaves home in the early morning
一早(女兒)她拎著書包要離開家
Waving goodbye with an absent-minded smile...
帶著心不在焉地笑容，揮手跟我說再見…
I watch her go with a surge of that well-known sadness
我看著她離開，心中湧起那股熟悉的惆悵
And I have to sit down for a while
我無力地必須坐下一會
The feeling that I'm losing her forever
那是一種我將永遠失去她的感覺
And without really entering her world
甚至還未真正進入她的世界
I'm glad whenever I can share her laughter
我多麼歡欣，每當我可以分享她的笑聲
That funny little girl
這可愛有趣的小女孩


Slipping through my fingers all the time
時間總飛快在我指縫中流逝
I try to capture every minute
我好想抓住每分每秒
The feeling in it
每個感受
Slipping through my fingers all the time
時間總飛快在我指縫中流逝
Do I really see what's in her mind
我真的知道她在想甚麼嗎?
Each time I think I'm close to knowing
每當我覺得更了解她了
She keeps on growing
她卻從未停止長大
Slipping through my fingers all the time
時間總飛快在我指縫中流逝


Sleep in our eyes, her and me at the breakfast table
在早餐桌上，我倆都睡眼惺忪
Barely awake, I let precious time go by
幾乎還未清醒的，我就這樣讓寶貴的時間溜走
Then when she's gone there's that odd melancholy feeling


當她離開，才陷入這樣的愁思
And a sense of guilt I can't deny
還有無法否認的愧疚感
What happened to the wonderful adventures
我曾經答應過她的冒險之旅呢?
The places I had planned for us to go
計畫著要一起去的那些地方
(slipping through my fingers all the time)
時間總飛快在我指縫中流逝
Well, some of that we did but most we didn't
那些曾一起做過的，及更多還未實現的
And why I just don't know
只為了無謂的理由?


Slipping through my fingers all the time
時間總飛快在我指縫中流逝
I try to capture every minute
我好想抓住每分每秒
The feeling in it 感受它
Slipping through my fingers all the time
時間總飛快在我指縫中流逝
Do I really see what's in her mind
我真的知道她在想甚麼嗎?
Each time I think I'm close to knowing
每當我覺得更了解她了
She keeps on growing
她卻從未停止長大
Slipping through my fingers all the time
時間總飛快在我指縫中流逝


Sometimes I wish that I could freeze the picture
有時我希望我可以凍結每個畫面
And save it from the funny tricks of time
保存著不讓時間帶走
Slipping through my fingers...
(時間)悄悄從我指尖溜走




Schoolbag in hand she leaves home in the early morning
一早她拎著書包要離開家
Waving goodbye with an absent-minded smile...
帶著心不在焉地笑容，揮手跟我說再見…
