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
