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
Bir marta, men etti yoshda edim, Mama menga aytdi
Boring, ba'zi do'stlaringizni qiling yoki siz yolg'iz bo'lasiz
Bir marta, men etti yoshda edim
[1-oyat]
Bu katta, katta dunyo edi, ammo biz biz kattaroq deb o'yladik
Bir-birlarini chegaralarga itarish, biz tezroq o'rganardik
Yigitni chekish va yonayotgan suyuqlik ichish
Hech qachon boy, shuning uchun biz buni barqarorlashtirish uchun aslo edik
[Xor]
Bir marta, men o'n bir yoshda edim, dadam menga aytdi
Boring, yoki yolg'iz bo'lasiz
Bir marta, men o'n bir yoshda edim
[2-oyat]
Men har doim mendan oldin dadam kabi orzuim bor edi
Men qo'shiq yozishni boshladim, men hikoyalarni yozishni boshladim
Bu shon-sharaf haqida nimadir shunchaki meni tug'di
Faqat men chin dildan sevganlar uchun faqat meni taniyman
[Xor]
Bir marta, men yigirma yoshimda edim, mening hikoyam aytildi
Ertalabki, hayot yolg'iz bo'lganida quyoshdan oldin
Bir marta, men yigirma yoshda edim (Lukas Graham!)
[3- oyat]
Men faqat maqsadlarimni ko'raman, men muvaffaqiyatsizlikka ishonmayman
Sababi, men eng kichik ovozlarni bilaman, ular buni kattalashtirishlari mumkin
Men bolalarimni men bilan oldim, hech bo'lmaganda o'z foydasiga
Va agar men ketishimdan oldin uchrashmasak, keyinroq uchrashaman degan umiddaman
[Xor]
Bir marta, men yigirma yoshimda edim, mening hikoyam aytildi
Mendan oldin ko'rgan hamma narsani yozayotgan edim
Bir marta, men yigirma yilman
[Ko'prik]
Tez orada biz o'ttiz yoshda bo'lamiz, bizning qo'shiqlarimiz sotildi
Biz dunyo bo'ylab sayohat qildik va biz hali ham rouming
Tez orada biz o'ttiz yoshda bo'lamiz
[4- oyat]
Hali ham hayot haqida bilib olaman, ayol bolam bolalarni olib keldi
Shunday qilib, men ularni barcha qo'shiqlarimni kuylashim mumkin va men ularga hikoyalarni ayta olaman
Mening bolalarimning aksariyati men bilan birga, ba'zilari hali ham ulug'vorlikni izlamoqda
Va ba'zilarim orqasida ketishim kerak edi, akam, men hali ham afsusdaman
[Xor]
Tez orada men oltmish yoshga to'ldim, dadam oltmish bittasi bor
Hayotni eslang, keyin hayotingiz yaxshiroq bo'ladi
Men bir marta xat yozganimda juda xursand bo'ldim
Umid qilamanki, bolalar oyiga bir yoki ikki marta tashrif buyurishadi
[Sindirish]
Yaqinda men oltmish yoshga to'lsam, dunyo sovuq deb o'ylayman?
Yoki meni isitadigan juda ko'p bolalarim bo'ladimi?
Tez orada men oltmish yoshgaman
Yaqinda men oltmish yoshga to'lsam, dunyo sovuq deb o'ylayman?
Yoki meni ushlab turadigan ko'p bolalarim bormi?
Tez orada men oltmish yoshgaman
[Xor]
Bir marta, men etti yoshda edim, Mama menga aytdi
Boring, ba'zi do'stlaringizni qiling yoki siz yolg'iz bo'lasiz
Men etti yoshda edim
Men etti yoshda edim
