Slipping Through My Fingers

Bila nak dekat exam, mulalah saya suka dengar lagu. Saya akan ulang-ulang lagu yang sama. Sebab saya suka. Antaranya lagu ini. Saya tujukan khas buat 2 cousins saya yang comel lagi bijak, Aisyah Sakinah dan Hajar Liyana. Walaupun dorang memang tak baca blog saya, tapi umi dorang mungkin baca. Lebih-lebih lagi, umi saya dan adik-adik saya serta kakak dorang. Hee.

Mereka membesar di depan mata saya. Aisyah Sakinah menjadi pemanggil setia hp saya setiap hari ketika saya belajar di matrik hampir 4 tahun lalu. Setiap kali saya pulang ke rumah bercuti, dia akan cari saya. Kenangan itu terlalu indah.

Hajar Liyana pula lahir ketika saya awal-awal menuntut di U. Hari pertama kelahirannya, saya dah jenguk dia di PPUM. Mereka sudah membesar. Marah saya tanda sayang saya kepada mereka. Kini mereka sudah pandai merajuk jika saya meninggikan sedikit suara. Mereka dah pandai mengeluarkan air mata jika saya marah. Mereka dah pandai protes kalau saya tak nak ikut kemahuan mereka. Mulalah mereka tarik muka masam terutamanya Asiyah. Budak kecil kadang-kadang kemahuan mereka tak perlu dituruti. Mereka jugalah buah hati saya.

Siobhan McCarthy - Slipping Through My Fingers

DONNA:

Schoolbag in hand

She leaves home in the early morning

Waving goodbye

With an absent-minded smile

I watch her go

With a surge of that well-known sadness

And I have to sit down for a while

The feeling that I'm loosing her forever

And without really entering her world

I'm glad whenever I can share her laughter

That funny little girl

Slipping through my fingers all the time

I try to capture every minute

The feeling in it

Slipping through my fingers all the time

Do I really see what's in her mind

Each time I think I'm close to knowing

She keeps on growing

Slipping through my fingers all the time

Sleep in our eyes

Her and me at the breakfast table

Barely awake

I let precious time go by

Then when she's gone

There's that odd melancholy feeling

And a sense of guilt

I can't deny

What happened to the wonderful adventures

The places I had planned for us to go

Well some of that we did

But most we didn't

And why I just don't know

Slipping through my fingers all the time

I try to capture every minute

The feeling in it

Slipping through my fingers all the time

Do I really see what's in her mind

Each time I think I'm close to knowing

She keeps on growing

Slipping through my fingers all the time

DONNA & SOPHIE:

Sometimes I wish that I could freeze the picture

And save it from the funny tricks of time

Slipping through my fingers -

DONNA:

Schoolbag in hand

She leaves home in the early morning

Waving goodbye with an absent-minded smile

Semoga menjadi anak-anak yang solehah buat umi dan abah ye.
