Not growing up

When you're little, you dream of being a grown-up.
One day I'll be like Dad and Mom,
I'll go to work, I'll have children.
Growing up is a long way away.
They say if I want to make it
I have to be good at school
and you're not shaping your future
in a detention room.
They say school teaches you life,
but nobody ever asked me
if I liked it or not or wanted
to settle in another way.
 
What should I do if I don't want to grow up?
How should I do if I don't want to grow up?
What should I do if I don't want to grow up?
How should I do if I don't want to grow up?
 
When you're little you see the big picture1,
like good guys and bad guys in the movies,
and then you learn that things have a price.
It's not in front of screens that you learn about life.
 
I can see that, when you're a woman
you have to accept everything,
obey to the stronger
and put up with everything.
What I want is lovers, not masters,
coz I don't want to submit myself.
Being a woman is too complicated,
I'd like to keep on dreaming.
 
What should I do if I don't want to grow up?
How should I do if I don't want to grow up?
What should I do if I don't want to grow up?
How should I do if I don't want to grow up?
...... not growing up
......
 
You have to be strong and responsible,
not much room left for carefreeness.
Had I known that, I would have taken the time
to linger a bit more in my childhood.
 
What should I do if I don't want to grow up?
How should I do if I don't want to grow up?
What should I do if I don't want to grow up?
How should I do if I don't want to grow up?
 
What should I do if I don't want to grow up?
How should I do if I don't want to grow up?
What should I do if I don't want to grow up?
How should I do if I don't want to grow up?
 
.... how should I do not to ....
grow up?
...... not growing up
...... I don't want to grow up oh ...
...... I don't want to grow up oh ...
 

• 1. the idiom is not very clear here. Maybe it's a kind of pun on the literal meaning ('you see things like a grown-up') but that does not really make sense to me either way. Apparently from the context it's supposed to mean 'you idealize things'

This translation does not claim to be of any particular value.
Glad if you liked it, sorry if you didn't.
You can reuse it as you please.
Glad if it's for knowledge or understanding, sorry if it's just for money or fame.
