Paroles et traduction Thom Hell - En spennende dag for Josefine

En spennende dag for Josefine

Det var en spennende dag for Josefine.
Den dagen hun ventet på med glede mang en 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 å bli klok.
På gården kretset det en ring av barn rundt henne.
Og hun så snart at dette ikke va noen lek
Men skulle hun nå så tidlig kunne kjenne
Det kalde pust fra alle drømmene som svek.
Hun kunne høre de hviske til hverandre
Og se dem peke på hennes svarte hår.
Da følte hun at hun ikke var som andre
En vond erfaring i hennes unge år.
Ja, 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 vell som har ønsket dette skille?
Og hvorfor skapes det usynlige sår?
Det var en spennende dag for Josefine
Den dag hun lærtes seg at fremtiden blir hård.

An exciting day for Josephine

It was an exciting day for Josephine.
The day she waited for with joy many a time
And she looked forward to a lot of new friends
And being together all day long.
In her hand she carried her beautiful new bag
Which should contain her first reader.
She could see herself sitting with homework
In order to learn to read and become wise.
In the yard a ring of children circled around her.
And she soon saw that this was no game
But was she now so early to be able to feel
The cold breath from all the dreams that failed.
She could hear they whispered to each other
And see them point at her black hair.
Then she felt that she was not like the others
A bad experience in her young years.
Yes, it was an exciting day for Josephine.
A little girl born in another country
But coincidentally her skin was different.
Is that a threat to everything that is possible?
Who on earth has wished for this division?
And why are invisible wounds created?
It was an exciting day for Josephine,
The day she learned that the future could be tough.
