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 mama
Idi nami sebe prijatelje, ili ćeš biti usamljen
Jednom sam imao sedam godina
[VERSE 1]
Bio je to veliki, veliki svijet, ali mislili smo da smo veći
Gurajući jedni druge u ograničenja, brže smo učili
Za jedanaest, pušenje biljke i pijenje sagorijevanjem alkoholnih pića
Nikad bogati, pa smo bili napolju da napravimo tu stabilnu figuru
[Chorus]
Jednom sam imao jedanaest godina, rekao mi je tata
Idi povucite sebi ženu ili ćeš biti usamljen
Jednom sam imao jedanaest godina
[VERSE 2]
Uvijek sam imao taj san kao svog oca prije mene
Tako sam počeo pisati pjesme, počeo sam pisati priče
Nešto o toj slavi se upravo uvijek činilo da me dosadilo
Jer me samo oni koje stvarno volim
[Chorus]
Jednom sam imao dvadeset godina, pričala mi je priča
Prije jutarnjeg sunca, kad je život bio usamljen
Jednom sam imao dvadeset godina (Lukas Graham!)
[VERSE 3]
Vidim samo svoje ciljeve, ne vjerujem u neuspjeh
Jer znam najmanje glasove, oni mogu učiniti majorom
Dobio sam svoje momke sa sobom, barem onima u korist
A ako se ne sretnemo prije odlaska, nadam se da ćemo se vidjeti kasnije
[Chorus]
Jednom sam imao dvadeset godina, pričala mi je priča
Pisao sam ", sve sam vidio pred mnom
Jednom sam imao dvadeset godina
[Bridge]
Ubrzo ćemo imati trideset godina, naše pjesme su prodate
Putovali smo po svijetu i još uvijek smo romili
Ubrzo ćemo imati trideset godina
[VERSE 4]
Još uvijek učim o životu, moja žena je dovela djecu za mene
Pa mogu da ih otpevam sve svoje pjesme i mogu im reći priče
Većina mojih dječaka je sa mnom, neki još uvijek traže slavu
A neki sam morao da ostavim iza sebe, brate, i dalje mi je žao
[Chorus]
Ubrzo ću biti šezdeset godina, moj otac je dobio šezdeset i jedan
Sjetite se života i tada vaš život postaje bolji
Napravio sam čovjeka tako sretan kad sam jednom napisao pismo
Nadam se da moja djeca dolaze i posjećuju jednom ili dva puta mjesečno
[Slom]
Ubrzo ću biti šezdeset godina, hoću li misliti da je svijet hladan?
Ili ću imati puno djece koja me mogu ugrijati?
Uskoro ću biti šezdeset godina
Ubrzo ću biti šezdeset godina, hoću li misliti da je svijet hladan?
Ili ću imati puno dece koja me mogu zadržati?
Uskoro ću biti šezdeset godina
[Chorus]
Jednom sam imao sedam godina, rekla mi je mama
Idi nami sebe prijatelje, ili ćeš biti usamljen
Jednom sam imao sedam godina
Jednom sam imao sedam godina
