Klipp Tal-Vidjo
Lirika
Schoolbag in hand, she leaves home in the early morning
– Borża tal-iskola f’idejha, titlaq mid – dar kmieni filgħodu
Waving goodbye with an absent-minded smile
– Waving addiju bi tbissima moħħom assenti
I watch her go with a surge of that well-known sadness
– Naraha tmur b’żieda ta’dik id-dwejjaq magħrufa
And I have to sit down for a while
– U għandi noqgħod bilqiegħda għal ftit
The feeling that I’m losing her forever
– Is-sentiment li qed nitlefha għal dejjem
And without really entering her world
– U mingħajr ma verament tidħol fid dinja tagħha
I’m glad whenever I can share her laughter
– Jien kuntent kull meta nista’naqsam id daħk tagħha
That funny little girl
– Dik it-tifla ċkejkna umoristiċi
Slipping through my fingers all the time
– Niżloq minn subgħajja l-ħin kollu
I try to capture every minute
– Nipprova naqbad kull minuta
The feeling in it
– Is-sentiment fiha
Slipping through my fingers all the time
– Niżloq minn subgħajja l-ħin kollu
Do I really see what’s in her mind?
– Verament nara x’hemm f’moħħha?
Each time I think I’m close to knowing
– Kull darba naħseb li jien viċin li nkun naf
She keeps on growing
– Hija tkompli tikber
Slipping through my fingers all the time
– Niżloq minn subgħajja l-ħin kollu
Sleep in our eyes, her and me at the breakfast table
– Irqad f’għajnejna, hi u jien fuq il-mejda tal-kolazzjon
Barely awake, I let precious time go by
– Bilkemm imqajjem, ħallejt jgħaddi ħin prezzjuż
Then when she’s gone, there’s that odd melancholy feeling
– Imbagħad meta tkun marret, hemm dak is-sentiment melankoniku fard
And a sense of guilt I can’t deny
– U sens ta’ħtija ma nistax niċħad
What happened to the wonderful adventures
– X’ġara mill-avventuri mill-isbaħ
The places I had planned for us to go?
– Il-postijiet li kont ippjanajt biex immorru?
(Slipping through my fingers all the time)
– (Niżloq minn subgħajja l – ħin kollu)
Well, some of that we did, but most we didn’t
– Ukoll, uħud minn dak li għamilna, imma l-biċċa l-kbira ma għamilniex
And why, I just don’t know
– U għaliex, ma nafx biss
Slipping through my fingers all the time
– Niżloq minn subgħajja l-ħin kollu
I try to capture every minute
– Nipprova naqbad kull minuta
The feeling in it
– Is-sentiment fiha
Slipping through my fingers all the time
– Niżloq minn subgħajja l-ħin kollu
Do I really see what’s in her mind?
– Verament nara x’hemm f’moħħha?
Each time I think I’m close to knowing
– Kull darba naħseb li jien viċin li nkun naf
She keeps on growing
– Hija tkompli tikber
Slipping through my fingers all the time
– Niżloq minn subgħajja l-ħin kollu
Sometimes I wish that I could freeze the picture
– Kultant nixtieq li nista’niffriża l istampa
And save it from the funny tricks of time
– U ħlief mill-tricks umoristiċi ta’żmien
Slipping through my fingers
– Niżloq minn subgħajja
Slipping through my fingers all the time
– Niżloq minn subgħajja l-ħin kollu
Schoolbag in hand, she leaves home in the early morning
– Borża tal-iskola f’idejha, titlaq mid – dar kmieni filgħodu
Waving goodbye with an absent-minded smile
– Waving addiju bi tbissima moħħom assenti
