Ingalsin Laura [English translation]
Ingalsin Laura [English translation]
You grew tired so early
disappointed in those talks
about how everything is soon but not yet, yet, yet, not ever
You went to school with angry eyes
they said the child is confused
and you'd be better
if you were silent and decent, conscientious
everything would be easier
or else you will regret
and you're thinking
They don't want me
they want Laura Ingalls
to nicely do what she's told in her apron
but one day I will rise and laugh at the world
one day I'll do whatever I feel like
and they'll regret
Today you couldn't handle any more
others' eyes always like ice
sometimes they yell behind you saying you're crazy crazy crazy is what you are
so you decided to leave before you'll hit
packed make-up, chains and belts
and unfinished writings
and the Swedish teacher's Visa
which he left to the classroom for the recess
it will get you to London
and you're thinking
They don't want me
they want Laura Ingalls
to put up with everything and forgive
but one day I will rise and laugh at the world
one day I'll do whatever I feel like
and they'll regret
They don't want me
they want Laura Ingalls
to put up with everything and forgive
but one day I will rise and laugh at the world
one day I'll do whatever I feel like
and they'll regret
