Prøveperiode Lyrics Translation – Ella Augusta

Jeg troede nærmest vi var ved at blive kæresterI almost thought we were becoming a couple,
Indtil du puttede mig på is for at se om jeg var clingyuntil you put me on ice to see if I was clingy.
Det må være en joke, så jeg grinteIt must be a joke, so I laughed,
Sagde tak da du sagde jeg bestodsaying thanks when you said I passed.
Kun når vi lå alene ku’ jeg mærke digOnly when we lay alone could I feel you.
Sir’ du har for travlt til mig, men du tar’ vagter frivilligtYou say you’re too busy for me, but you take shifts voluntarily.
Og jeg prioriterer min tid på en selvoptaget idiotAnd I prioritize my time on a self-absorbed idiot.
Inden under tapetet er du slet ik’ lige så smuk jeg som jeg troed’Beneath the surface, you aren’t nearly as beautiful as I thought.
Tænk at du ku’ sætte min kærlighed på prøveperiodeTo think you could put my love on a probationary period.
Du har lært mig ik’ at gi’ mig hen og gi’ mig indYou’ve taught me not to surrender and give in,
Gi’ en del af mig selv til nogengiving a part of myself to someone,
Der sætter min kærlighed på prøveperiodewho puts my love on a probationary period.
Og din dåbsattest sir du ældre end mig menAnd your birth certificate says you’re older than me, but
Det virkede lidt som jeg datede en seksårigit felt a bit like I was dating a six-year-old.
Hvorfor sagde du ik’ bar som det varWhy didn’t you just say it like it was,
Du ik’ følte det samme som migthat you didn’t feel the same as me?
Du bad mig om at møde dine forældre, holde hænder på gadenYou asked me to meet your parents, hold hands on the street,
Tage mig rundt på steder din eks nok har værettaking me around to places your ex has probably been.
Sig hej til dine venner alt det jeg skulle gøre for hvadSay hi to your friends, all the things I had to do for what?
Inden under tapetet er du slet ik’ lige så smuk jeg som jeg troed’Beneath the surface, you aren’t nearly as beautiful as I thought.
Tænk at du ku’ sætte min kærlighed på prøveperiodeTo think you could put my love on a probationary period.
Du har lært mig ik’ at gi’ mig hen og gi’ mig indYou’ve taught me not to surrender and give in,
Gi’ en del af mig selv til nogengiving a part of myself to someone,
Der sætter min kærlighed på prøveperiodewho puts my love on a probationary period.
Uuuh, uuuuhOoh, ooh.
Uuuh, uuuuuhOoh, ooh.
Tænk at jeg ik ku’ se detTo think I couldn’t see it,
Jeg var medicin du sku’ brugeI was the medicine you needed to use,
Til at sætte dine mindreværdskomplekser lidt i roto put your inferiority complexes to rest.
Du har lært mig ik’ at gi’ mig hen og gi’ mig indYou’ve taught me not to surrender and give in,
Gi en del af mig selv til nogengiving a part of myself to someone,
Der sætter min kærlighed på prøveperiodewho puts my love on a probationary period.
