Rica
Schoolbag in hand, she leaves home in the early morning
– E ta sali for di kas mainta trempan
Waving goodbye with an absent-minded smile
– Saludando adiós ku un sonrisa distraí
I watch her go with a surge of that well-known sadness
– Mi ta mira e muhé bai ku un ola di e tristesa konosí ei
And I have to sit down for a while
– I mi mester sinta un ratu
The feeling that I’m losing her forever
– E sintimentu ku mi ta pèrdè esaki pa semper
And without really entering her world
– I sin drenta realmente den su mundu
I’m glad whenever I can share her laughter
– Mi ta kontentu kada bes ku mi por kompartí su hari
That funny little girl
– E mucha muhé amüsante ei
Slipping through my fingers all the time
– Glisando entre mi dede tur ora
I try to capture every minute
– Mi ta purba di captura tur minuut
The feeling in it
– E sensacion den dje
Slipping through my fingers all the time
– Glisando entre mi dede tur ora
Do I really see what’s in her mind?
– Mi ta mira loke ta den su mente?
Each time I think I’m close to knowing
– Kada bes ku mi ta kere ku mi ta serka di sa
She keeps on growing
– E ta sigui krese
Slipping through my fingers all the time
– Glisando entre mi dede tur ora
Sleep in our eyes, her and me at the breakfast table
– E ta drumi den nos wowo, e i ami riba mesa di desayuno
Barely awake, I let precious time go by
– Apenas mi a lanta, mi a laga un tempu bunita pasa
Then when she’s gone, there’s that odd melancholy feeling
– Despues, ora e muhé a bai, tin e sintimentu straño di malenkolía
And a sense of guilt I can’t deny
– I un sintimentu di kulpa ku mi no por nenga
What happened to the wonderful adventures
– Kiko a pasa ku e aventuranan maravioso?
The places I had planned for us to go?
– E lugánan ku mi a planeá pa nos bai?
(Slipping through my fingers all the time)
– (Slip entre mi dede tur ora)
Well, some of that we did, but most we didn’t
– Pues, nos a hasi algu di esei, pero mayoria no.
And why, I just don’t know
– I dikon, mi no sa esei
Slipping through my fingers all the time
– Glisando entre mi dede tur ora
I try to capture every minute
– Mi ta purba di captura tur minuut
The feeling in it
– E sensacion den dje
Slipping through my fingers all the time
– Glisando entre mi dede tur ora
Do I really see what’s in her mind?
– Mi ta mira loke ta den su mente?
Each time I think I’m close to knowing
– Kada bes ku mi ta kere ku mi ta serka di sa
She keeps on growing
– E ta sigui krese
Slipping through my fingers all the time
– Glisando entre mi dede tur ora
Sometimes I wish that I could freeze the picture
– Tin biaha e ta desea di por congela e imagen
And save it from the funny tricks of time
– I salbá e di e triki di tempu
Slipping through my fingers
– Deslizando entre mi dedos
Slipping through my fingers all the time
– Glisando entre mi dede tur ora
Schoolbag in hand, she leaves home in the early morning
– E ta sali for di kas mainta trempan
Waving goodbye with an absent-minded smile
– Saludando adiós ku un sonrisa distraí
