this is an important project, collaborating with a quality musical artist, translating original verses
from english language to spanish for the purpose of subtitles in music videos i am now producing.

i will be very genuinely grateful for help on this - for my life i cant think of how to say slipping away

(unless it were desvaneciendo, but that is disappearing, not quite the same....) do help please please

ANOTHER WORLD

Slipping into Another World
Slipping into the Heart I see inside of you
Slipping into Another World
Slipping into the Love I see surrounding you

Dont forget...I love you
The gentle whispered Grace in all we do
Dont forget...I love you
The timelessness of HEART will see us thru...
You're in us all!

Dont forget...I love you
the gentle whispered Grace in all we do
Dont forget...I love you
The timelessness of HEART will see us thru...
You're in us all...oh oh oh, oh oh..............

I promise to post the videos of these wonderful songs when they are eventually finished.

p.s. if anyone can tell me how to best translate "gentle whispered Grace" i will be very grateful

pps. "timelessness of HEART" has me stumped. Help!!!!!

Taking on James Santiago's valuable suggestions:

ANOTHER WORLD

Slipping into Another World

Deslizandose al algun otro mundo

Slipping into the Heart I see inside of you

Deslizandose dentro del corazón que veo adentro de ti

Slipping into Another World

Deslizandose en algun otro mundo

Slipping into the Love I see surrounding you

Deslizandose al amor que veo rodeando a ti

Dont forget...I love you

no te olvides.. te amo

The gentle whispered Grace in all we do

la gracia gentil susurrada en todo lo que hacemos

Dont forget...I love you

no te olvides... te amo

The timelessness of HEART will see us thru...

La intemporalidad de corazón nos va a hacer llegar

You're in us all!

Estas en todos nosotros!

Dont forget...I love you

no te olvides.. te amo

The gentle whispered Grace in all we do

la suave y susurrada gracia en todo lo que hacemos

Dont forget...I love you

no te olvides... te amo

The timelessness of HEART will see us thru...

La intemporalidad de corazón nos va a hacer llegar

You're in us all!

Estas en todos nosotros!

You're in us all...oh oh oh, oh oh..............

the timelessness of HEART will see us thru...

La intemporalidad de corazón nos va a hacer llegar

You're in us all!

Estas en todos nosotros!

The lyrics you gave do not contain the phrase "slipping away."

As for "slipping into," I see no reason not to maintain the feel of the original, and use deslizarse.

gentle whispered Grace: I don't know why grace is capitalized here, but "la suave y susurrada gracia" might work.

"La atemporalidad (or intemporalidad) de corazón" makes about as much sense to me as the original.

escabullirse
pronomial verb
1. to slip away (desaparecer)(de from)

How about: "se escabullendo" Just a guess. I looked this up of course.
