Fever Ray – When I Grow Up

When I grow up
I want to be a forester
Run through the moss on high heels
That’s what I’ll do
Throwing out boomerang
Waiting for it to come back to me

When I grow up
I want to live near the sea
Crab claws and bottles of rum
That’s what I’ll have
Staring at the seashell
Waiting for it to embrace me

I put my soul in what I do
Last night I drew a funny man
With dark eyes and a hanging tongue
It goes way back
I never liked a sad look
From someone who wants to be loved by you

I’m very good with plants
When my friends are away
They let me keep the soil moist
On the seventh day I rest
For a minute or two
Then back on my feet and cry for you

You’ve got cucumbers on your eyes
Too much time spent on nothing
Waiting for a moment to arise
The face in the ceiling
And arms too long
I wait for him to catch me

Waiting for you to embrace me

Fever Ray - When I Grow Up

Prevod pesme

Kad porastem

Kad porastem
Biću šumar
Trčaću kroz mahovinu na štiklama
To ću raditi
Bacaću bumerang
Čekati ga da mi se vrati

Kad porastem
Živeću na moru
Klešta krabe i boce ruma
To ću imati ja
Zuriću u školjku
Čekajući da me zagrli

Sve što radim, radim s dušom
Sinoć sam nacrtala smešnog čoveka
Sa crnim očima i isplaženog jezika
To je stara priča
Nikad nisam bila ljubitelj tugaljivih pogleda
Onih koji žele da ih zavoliš

Dobro mi idu biljke
Kad moji prijatelji odu negde
Ostave mi da čuvam vlagu zemlje
Sedmog dana odmaram
Na minut ili dva
Onda se osovim na noge i plačem za tobom

Ti držiš krastavce na očima
Previše vremena ne radiš ništa
Spremajući se za trenutak nečega
Lice na tavanici
I ruke preduge
Čekam ga da uhvati me

Čekajući tebe da me prihvatiš
