En spennende dag for Josefine - 2010 Digital Remaster;

Det var en spennende dag for josefine.
En dag hun tenkte på med glede mangen gang.
Og hun så fram mot en masse nye venner og være sammen med hele dagen lang.
I hånden bar hun sin fine nye veske som skulle romme den første lesebok.
Hun kunne se seg selv sittende med lekser, for å lære seg å lese og bli klok.
Med store eine gikk hun inn gjennom porten.
Så stort et hus det hadde hun nok aldri sett.
Og der var barna som kastet ball og lekte, mens noen stilte opp i rekke og stod rett.
Det var en spennende dag for josefine, men fra sin drøm skulle hun snart vekkes opp.
Hun skulle oppleve at noe slikt som glede er en sting som kansje plutselig sier stopp.
Og våren kretset i en ring med barn rundt henne, og hun så snart at dette ikke var en lek.
Men skulle hun nå så tidlig kunne kjenne det kaller pust fra alle drømmene som sve.
Hun kunne høre de hviske til hverandre, og se de peke på hennes svarte hår.
Da følte hun at hun ikke var som andre.
En vond erfaring i hennes unge år.
Det var en spennende dag for josefine en liten pike født i et annet land.
Men hennes hud var tilfeldigvis en annen.
Er det en trussel mot alt det som går ann.
Hvem er det vel som har ønsket dette skille, og hvorfor skapes det usynlige sår.
Det var en spennende dag for josefine, den dag hun lærte seg at fremtiden blir vond.
Det var en spennende dag for josefine.

An Exciting Day for Josephine - 2010 Digital Remaster;

It was an exciting day for Josephine.
A day she would think of with joy many a time.
She was looking forward to lots of new friends, to spend the day together.
In her hand she carried her new satchel, which would hold her first reader.
She could see herself sitting doing homework, learning to read and write and become wise.
With her eyes wide open, she went through the gate.
She had never seen such a big house.
And there were children playing and throwing a ball, and some stood lined up in rows.
It was an exciting day for Josephine, but she was soon to be awakened from her dream.
She would experience that such a thing as joy, is a stitch that stops suddenly.
And the children circled her, and she soon learned that this was not a game.
Could she, so early on, sense the silent words that would crush her dreams?
She could hear them whispering to each other, and she saw them pointing at her black hair.
Then she felt that she was different from the others.
A painful experience in her young life.
It was an exciting day for Josephine, a young girl born in another country.
But she happened to have a different skin color.
Is it a threat to all that is possible?
Who is it that has wanted this separation, and why are such invisible wounds created?
It was an exciting day for Josephine, the day she learned that the future would be painful.
It was an exciting day for Josephine.
