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
Jednom sam imao sedam godina, rekla mi je moja mama
Idite steći sebi neke prijatelje ili ćete biti usamljeni
Jednom sam imao sedam godina
[Stih 1]
Bio je to veliki, veliki svijet, ali mislili smo da smo veći
Gurajući jedni druge do krajnjih granica, učili smo brže
Do jedanaest, pušenje biljke i pića alkoholna pića
Nikad bogate, pa smo bili vani da napravimo tu stalnu figuru
[Zbor]
Jednom sam imao jedanaest godina, rekao mi je otac
Idite po sebi ženu ili ćete biti usamljeni
Jednom sam imao jedanaest godina
[Stih 2]
Uvijek sam imao taj san poput svog oca prije mene
Pa sam počeo pisati pjesme, počeo sam pisati priče
Nešto o toj slavi samo me činilo da me dosadilo
Jer će me samo oni koje stvarno volim ikada stvarno znati
[Zbor]
Jednom sam imao dvadeset godina, moja je priča ispričana
Prije jutarnjeg sunca, kad je život bio usamljen
Jednom sam imao dvadeset godina (Lukas Graham!)
[Stih 3]
Vidim samo svoje ciljeve, ne vjerujem u neuspjeh
Jer znam najmanji glasovi, oni to mogu učiniti glavnim
Dobio sam svoje dečke sa sobom, barem one koji su u prilog
A ako se ne sretnemo prije nego što odem, nadam se da ćemo se vidjeti kasnije
[Zbor]
Jednom sam imao dvadeset godina, moja je priča ispričana
Pisao sam 'o svemu što sam vidjela prije sebe
Jednom sam imao dvadeset godina
[Most]
Uskoro ćemo imati trideset godina, naše su pjesme prodane
Putovali smo svijetom i još uvijek lutamo
Uskoro ćemo imati trideset godina
[Stih 4]
Još uvijek učim o životu, moja je žena donijela djecu za mene
Tako da im mogu otpjevati sve svoje pjesme i mogu im ispričati priče
Većina mojih dječaka je sa mnom, neki još uvijek traže slavu
I neki koje sam morao ostaviti iza sebe, brate, još uvijek mi je žao
[Zbor]
Uskoro ću imati šezdeset godina, moj otac je dobio šezdeset i jedan
Sjetite se života i tada vam život postaje bolji
Usvojio sam muškarca tako sretan kad sam jednom napisao pismo
Nadam se da moja djeca dolaze i posjećuju jednom ili dva puta mjesečno
[Raspad]
Uskoro ću imati šezdeset godina, hoću li pomisliti da je svijet hladan?
Ili ću imati puno djece koja me mogu ugrijati?
Uskoro ću imati šezdeset godina
Uskoro ću imati šezdeset godina, hoću li pomisliti da je svijet hladan?
Ili ću imati puno djece koja me mogu držati?
Uskoro ću imati šezdeset godina
[Zbor]
Jednom sam imao sedam godina, rekla mi je moja mama
Idite steći sebi neke prijatelje ili ćete biti usamljeni
Jednom sam imao sedam godina
Jednom sam imao sedam godina
