Once, I was seven years old, my mama told me
Go make yourself some friends, or you'll be lonely
Once, I was seven years old
Sanderlei Silveira - 25/06/2023 - SA X
Once, I was seven years old, my mama told me
Go make yourself some friends, or you'll be lonely
Once, I was seven years old
[Verse 1]
It was a big, big world, but we thought we were bigger
Pushing each other to the limits, we were learning quicker
By eleven, smoking herb and drinking burning liquor
Never rich, so we were out to make that steady figure
[Chorus]
Once, I was eleven years old, my daddy told me
Go get yourself a wife, or you'll be lonely
Once, I was eleven years old
[Verse 2]
I always had that dream like my daddy before me
So I started writing songs, I started writing stories
Something about that glory just always seemed to bore me
Cause only those I really love will ever really know me
[Chorus]
Once, I was twenty years old, my story got told
Before the morning sun, when life was lonely
Once, I was twenty years old (Lukas Graham!)
[Verse 3]
I only see my goals, I don't believe in failure
Cause I know the smallest voices, they can make it major
I got my boys with me, at least those in favor
And if we don't meet before I leave, I hope I'll see you later
[Chorus]
Once, I was twenty years old, my story got told
I was writing 'bout everything I saw before me
Once, I was twenty years old
[Bridge]
Soon, we'll be thirty years old, our songs have been sold
We've traveled around the world and we're still roaming
Soon, we'll be thirty years old
[Verse 4]
I'm still learning about life, my woman brought children for me
So I can sing them all my songs, and I can tell them stories
Most of my boys are with me, some are still out seeking glory
And some I had to leave behind, my brother, I'm still sorry
[Chorus]
Soon, I'll be sixty years old, my daddy got sixty-one
Remember life and then your life becomes a better one
I made a man so happy when I wrote a letter once
I hope my children come and visit once or twice a month
[Breakdown]
Soon, I'll be sixty years old, will I think the world is cold?
Or will I have a lot of children who can warm me?
Soon, I'll be sixty years old
Soon, I'll be sixty years old, will I think the world is cold?
Or will I have a lot of children who can hold me?
Soon, I'll be sixty years old
[Chorus]
Once, I was seven years old, my mama told me
Go make yourself some friends, or you'll be lonely
Once I was seven years old
Once I was seven years old
Nekoč sem bila stara sedem let, mi je rekla mama
Pojdi si nekaj prijateljev ali pa boš osamljen
Nekoč sem bil star sedem let
[Verz 1]
Bil je velik, velik svet, vendar smo mislili, da smo večji
Potiskali smo se do meja, hitreje smo se učili
Z enajstimi kajenjem zelišča in pitje kurjenja alkohola
Nikoli bogat, zato smo bili zunaj, da bi postavili tako stabilno figuro
[Refren]
Nekoč sem bil star enajst let, mi je rekel očka
Pojdi po ženo, ali pa boš osamljen
Nekoč sem bil star enajst let
[Verz 2]
Vedno sem imel te sanje kot moj oče pred seboj
Tako sem začel pisati pesmi, začel sem pisati zgodbe
Nekaj o tej slavi se mi je vedno zdelo, da me je vedno dolgočasilo
Ker me bodo le tisti, ki jih resnično ljubim
[Refren]
Enkrat sem bil star dvajset let, je pripovedovala mojo zgodbo
Pred jutranjim soncem, ko je bilo življenje osamljeno
Nekoč sem bil star dvajset let (Lukas Graham!)
[Verz 3]
Vidim samo svoje cilje, ne verjamem v neuspeh
Ker poznam najmanjše glasove, jih lahko naredijo večje
Svoje fante sem dobil s seboj, vsaj tiste, ki so naklonjeni
In če se ne bomo srečali, preden odidem, upam, da se vidimo kasneje
[Refren]
Enkrat sem bil star dvajset let, je pripovedovala mojo zgodbo
Pisal sem vse, kar sem videl pred seboj
Nekoč sem bil star dvajset let
[Most]
Kmalu bomo stari trideset let, naše pesmi so bile prodane
Potovali smo po svetu in še vedno gostovamo
Kmalu bomo stari trideset let
[Verz 4]
Še vedno se učim o življenju, moja ženska je prinesla otroke
Tako da jim lahko zapojem vse svoje pesmi in jim lahko povem zgodbe
Večina mojih fantov je z mano, nekateri še vedno iščejo slavo
In nekaj, kar sem moral pustiti za seboj, brat, še vedno mi je žal
[Refren]
Kmalu bom star šestdeset let, moj očka je dobil še enaindvajset
Ne pozabite na življenje in potem postane vaše življenje boljše
Človeka sem tako osrečila, ko sem nekoč napisala pismo
Upam, da moji otroci pridejo na obisk enkrat ali dvakrat na mesec
[Zlomiti se]
Kmalu bom star šestdeset let, ali se mi zdi, da je svet hladen?
Ali pa bom imel veliko otrok, ki me lahko ogrejejo?
Kmalu bom star šestdeset let
Kmalu bom star šestdeset let, ali se mi zdi, da je svet hladen?
Ali pa bom imel veliko otrok, ki me lahko zadržijo?
Kmalu bom star šestdeset let
[Refren]
Nekoč sem bila stara sedem let, mi je rekla mama
Pojdi si nekaj prijateljev ali pa boš osamljen
Ko sem bil star sedem let
Ko sem bil star sedem let
