Letter To My 13 Year Old Self
Laufey Lin Jonsdottir
Don't you worry 'bout your curly hair
Clothes that don't quite fit you anywhere
Voices echo in the gym
Another girl's had her first kiss
Please don't think too much of it, darling
I'm so sorry that they pick you last
Try to say your foreign name and laugh
I know that you feel loud, so different from the crowd
Of big blue eyes, and long blonde hair, and boys that stare
But, baby, know that
You'll grow up
And grow so tough and charm them
Write your story, fall in love a little too
The things you thought you'd never do
I wish I could go back and give her a squeeze
Myself at thirteen
And just let her know, know that she's beautiful
Keep on going with your silly dream
Life is prettier than it may seem
One day, you'll be up on stage
Little girls will scream your name
The days of tears and failure fears
And no one cares
Will all make sense, 'cause
You'll grow up
And grow so confident, and
Write your story, fall in love a little too
The things you thought you'd never do
I wish I could go back and give her a squeeze
Myself at thirteen
And just let her know, know that she's beautiful
Ooh
Don't you worry 'bout your curly hair
Ne t'inquiète pas pour tes cheveux bouclés
Clothes that don't quite fit you anywhere
Des vêtements qui ne te vont pas vraiment nulle part
Voices echo in the gym
Les voix résonnent dans le gymnase
Another girl's had her first kiss
Une autre fille a eu son premier baiser
Please don't think too much of it, darling
Ne pense pas trop à ça, chérie
I'm so sorry that they pick you last
Je suis tellement désolé qu'ils te choisissent en dernier
Try to say your foreign name and laugh
Ils essaient de dire ton nom étranger et rient
I know that you feel loud, so different from the crowd
Je sais que tu te sens bruyante, si différente de la foule
Of big blue eyes, and long blonde hair, and boys that stare
De grands yeux bleus, et de longs cheveux blonds, et des garçons qui regardent
But, baby, know that
Mais, bébé, sache que
You'll grow up
Tu grandiras
And grow so tough and charm them
Et deviendras si forte et les charmeras
Write your story, fall in love a little too
Écris ton histoire, tombe un peu amoureuse aussi
The things you thought you'd never do
Les choses que tu pensais ne jamais faire
I wish I could go back and give her a squeeze
J'aimerais pouvoir revenir en arrière et lui faire un câlin
Myself at thirteen
Moi à treize ans
And just let her know, know that she's beautiful
Et juste lui faire savoir, savoir qu'elle est belle
Keep on going with your silly dream
Continue avec ton rêve idiot
Life is prettier than it may seem
La vie est plus belle qu'elle ne le semble
One day, you'll be up on stage
Un jour, tu seras sur scène
Little girls will scream your name
Des petites filles crieront ton nom
The days of tears and failure fears
Les jours de larmes et de peurs d'échec
And no one cares
Et personne ne se soucie
Will all make sense, 'cause
Tout aura du sens, parce que
You'll grow up
Tu grandiras
And grow so confident, and
Et deviendras si confiante, et
Write your story, fall in love a little too
Écris ton histoire, tombe un peu amoureuse aussi
The things you thought you'd never do
Les choses que tu pensais ne jamais faire
I wish I could go back and give her a squeeze
J'aimerais pouvoir revenir en arrière et lui faire un câlin
Myself at thirteen
Moi à treize ans
And just let her know, know that she's beautiful
Et juste lui faire savoir, savoir qu'elle est belle
Ooh
Ooh
Don't you worry 'bout your curly hair
Não se preocupe com o seu cabelo encaracolado
Clothes that don't quite fit you anywhere
Roupas que não te servem bem em lugar nenhum
Voices echo in the gym
Vozes ecoam no ginásio
Another girl's had her first kiss
Outra garota teve seu primeiro beijo
Please don't think too much of it, darling
Por favor, não pense muito nisso, querida
I'm so sorry that they pick you last
Sinto muito que eles te escolham por último
Try to say your foreign name and laugh
Tentam dizer o seu nome estrangeiro e riem
I know that you feel loud, so different from the crowd
Eu sei que você se sente alta, tão diferente da multidão
Of big blue eyes, and long blonde hair, and boys that stare
De grandes olhos azuis, e longos cabelos loiros, e meninos que encaram
But, baby, know that
Mas, querida, saiba que
You'll grow up
Você vai crescer
And grow so tough and charm them
E vai se tornar tão forte e encantá-los
Write your story, fall in love a little too
Escreva sua história, se apaixone um pouco também
The things you thought you'd never do
As coisas que você pensou que nunca faria
I wish I could go back and give her a squeeze
Eu gostaria de poder voltar e dar um abraço nela
Myself at thirteen
Eu mesma aos treze
And just let her know, know that she's beautiful
E apenas deixá-la saber, saber que ela é linda
Keep on going with your silly dream
Continue com o seu sonho bobo
Life is prettier than it may seem
A vida é mais bonita do que parece
One day, you'll be up on stage
Um dia, você estará no palco
Little girls will scream your name
Pequenas garotas vão gritar o seu nome
The days of tears and failure fears
Os dias de lágrimas e medo de falhar
And no one cares
E ninguém se importa
Will all make sense, 'cause
Tudo fará sentido, porque
You'll grow up
Você vai crescer
And grow so confident, and
E vai se tornar tão confiante, e
Write your story, fall in love a little too

Of big blue eyes, and long blonde hair, and boys that stare
De grandes ojos azules, y largo cabello rubio, y chicos que miran

You'll grow up
Crecerás
And grow so tough and charm them

Es tut mir so leid, dass sie dich zuletzt auswählen
Try to say your foreign name and laugh
Versuchen, deinen ausländischen Namen auszusprechen und zu lachen
I know that you feel loud, so different from the crowd
Ich weiß, dass du dich laut fühlst, so anders als die Menge
Of big blue eyes, and long blonde hair, and boys that stare
Von großen blauen Augen und langen blonden Haaren und Jungs, die starren
But, baby, know that
Aber, Baby, wisse das
You'll grow up
Du wirst erwachsen
And grow so tough and charm them
Und wirst so hart und bezaubernd

Life is prettier than it may seem
Das Leben ist schöner, als es scheint

Vestiti che non ti stanno bene da nessuna parte
Voices echo in the gym
Le voci risuonano nella palestra
Another girl's had her first kiss
Un'altra ragazza ha avuto il suo primo bacio

Ooh
Ooh
[Verse 1]
Jangan kau khawatir akan rambut ikalmu
Pakaian yang tak cocok denganmu dimanapun
Suara-suara menggema di sasana olahraga
Anak perempuan lain telah mendapat ciuman pertama
Tolong jangan terlalu memikirkannya, sayang
[Verse 2]
Aku minta maaf mereka memilihmu terakhir
Mencoba menyebut nama asingmu dan tertawa
Aku tahu kau merasa lantang, sangat berbeda dari yang lain
Mereka dengan mata biru besar dan rambut pirang panjang, dan para laki-laki yang memandang
Tapi, sayang, tahulah bahwa
[Chorus]
Kau akan bertumbuh
Dan bertumbuh jadi kuat dan memikat mereka
Tulis ceritamu, jatuh cinta sedikit juga
Hal-hal yang kau pikir takkan pernah kau lakukan
Aku harap aku bisa kembali dan memberi pelukan
Pada diriku berusia 13 tahun
Dan hanya memberitahukannya, memberitahukannya bahwa ia cantik
[Verse 3]
Teruslah bermimpi konyol
Hidup lebih indah dari yang kau bayangkan
Suatu hari, kau akan berada di panggung
Anak-anak perempuan akan meneriakkan namamu
Masa penuh air mata dan takut kegagalan
Dan tak ada yang peduli
Semuanya akan menjadi jelas, karena
[Chorus]
Kau akan bertumbuh
Dan bertumbuh sangat percaya diri, dan
Tulis ceritamu, jatuh cinta sedikit juga
Hal-hal yang kau pikir takkan pernah kau lakukan
Aku harap aku bisa kembali dan memberi pelukan
Pada diriku berusia 13 tahun
Dan hanya memberitahukannya, memberitahukannya bahwa ia cantik
[Outro]
Ooh
