Se me está escapando [English translation]

She leaves so cheerfully for school now

saying goodbye with an absent smile

she goes and I feel a sadness in me

something that makes me realize

She's still mine, but less so

in that innocent world

(I am losing her)

happy to share her smile

and all her childhood

Am I losing her as she grows?

How can I slow down

the minutes of today?

I am losing her as she grows

I'll take care of her great fantasy

and as I go discovering it...

she keeps growing

I am losing her, that I know

There is in us both, her and I, sleepiness at breakfast

and, without wanting to, I let the time slip past

When she goes I feel in myself this melancholy

that I can't deny

Where are those adventures

and those places that we will see?

(I am losing her as she grows)

We take pleasure in so little

there is so much to do

Am I losing her as she grows?

How can I slow down

the minutes of today?

I am losing her as she grows

I'll take care of her great fantasy

and as I go discovering it...

she keeps growing

I am losing her, that I know

If I could freeze that image

keep safe the time and its whimsy in me

(I am losing her)

I am losing her as she grows

She leaves so cheerfully for school now

saying goodbye with an absent smile
