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
Carekê, ez heft salî bûm, Mama min ji min re got
Go xwe hin hevalan bikin, an hûn ê tenê bimînin
Carekê, ez heft salî bûm
[Ayet 1]
Ew cîhanek mezin, mezin bû, lê em difikirin ku em mezin bûn
Ji hevdû re li ser sînoran dikişînin, em zûtir fêr bûn
Bi yanzdeh, kişandin û vexwarinên şewitandinê
Qet ne dewlemend, ji ber vê yekê em derketin da ku ew hêjmara domdar çêbike
[Qoro]
Carekê, ez yanzdeh salî bûm, bavê min ji min re got
Herin jinek xwe bistînin, an hûn ê tenê bimînin
Carekê, ez yanzdeh salî bûm
[Ayetek 2]
Min her gav ew xewn mîna bavê min li pêşiya min bû
Ji ber vê yekê min dest bi nivîsandina stranan kir, min dest bi nivîsandina çîrokên
Tiştek di derbarê wê rûmet de tenê her gav ji min re xuya dikir
Sedem ku tenê yên ku ez bi rastî hez dikim dê bi rastî min nas bike
[Qoro]
Carekê, ez bîst salî bûm, çîroka min got
Berî sibehê, dema ku jiyan tenê bû
Carekê, ez bîst salî bûm (Lukas Graham!)
[Ayets 3]
Ez tenê armancên xwe dibînim, ez ji têkçûnê bawer nakim
Sedema ku ez dengên piçûktir dizanim, ew dikarin wê mezin bikin
Min kurên xwe bi min re got, bi kêmanî yên di berjewendiyê de
If heke em berî ku ez derkevim, ez hêvî nakim, hêvî dikim ku ez ê paşê te bibînim
[Qoro]
Carekê, ez bîst salî bûm, çîroka min got
Min nivîsandina 'her tiştê ku min li pêş min dît
Carekê, ez bîst salî bûm
[Pir]
Zû zû, em ê sê salî bin, stranên me hatine firotin
Em li seranserê cîhanê geriyan û em hîn jî room dikin
Zû zû, em ê sê salî bin
[Ayets 4]
Ez hîn jî li ser jiyanê fêr dibim, jina min ji min re zarok anîn
Ji ber vê yekê ez dikarim wan stranên xwe stranbêj bikim, û ez dikarim ji wan re çîrokan bibêjim
Piraniya kurên min bi min re ne, hinekan hîn jî li ser rûmet digerin
Û hin jî neçar ma ku birayê min, birayê min, ez hîn xemgîn im
[Qoro]
Zû zû, ez ê şêst salî bim, bavê min şêst û yek bû
Jiyan bi bîr bînin û hingê jiyana we çêtir dibe
Gava ku min yekcar nameyek nivîsand, min zilamek pir xweş kir
Ez hêvî dikim ku zarokên min mehê carekê an du caran biçin
[Hiweşîn]
Zû zû, ez ê şêst salî bim, ez ê difikirim ku dinya sar e?
An jî ez ê gelek zarokên ku dikarin min germ bikin hene?
Zû zû, ez ê şêst salî bin
Zû zû, ez ê şêst salî bim, ez ê difikirim ku dinya sar e?
An jî ez ê gelek zarokên min ên ku dikarin min bigire hene?
Zû zû, ez ê şêst salî bin
[Qoro]
Carekê, ez heft salî bûm, Mama min ji min re got
Go xwe hin hevalan bikin, an hûn ê tenê bimînin
Carekê ez heft salî bûm
Carekê ez heft salî bûm
