「7 Years:Lukas Graham」Lyrics

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

It was a big big world, but we thought we were bigger
Pushing each other to the limits, we were learning quicker 
By 11 smoking herb and drinking burning liquor
Never rich so we were out to make that steady figure

Once I was 11 years old my daddy told me
Go get yourself a wife or you’ll be lonely
Once I was 11 years old

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

Once I was 20 years old, my story got told 
Before the morning sun, when life was lonely
Once I was 20 years old
(Lukas Graham)

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

Once I was 20 years old, my story got told
I was writing ‘bout everything, I saw before me
Once I was 20 years old

Soon we’ll be 30 years old, our songs have been sold
We’ve traveled around the world and we’re still roaming
Soon we’ll be 30 years old

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

Soon I’ll be 60 years old, my daddy got 61
Remember life and then your life becomes a better one
I made the man so happy when I wrote a letter once
I hope my children come and visit, once or twice a month

Soon I’ll be 60 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 60 years old

Soon I’ll be 60 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 60 years old

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

文法解説

01. Pushing each other to the limits, we were learning quicker

ルーカスが育った環境の近くにはChristiania Copenhagen(クリスチャニア・コペンハーゲン)と呼ばれる、デンマークの中で少し特殊な場所があったようです。

02. Never rich so we were out to make that steady figure

ルーカスたちは、よく配送用の車輪が3つ付いた自転車に乗り空のペットボトルを集めていました。週に200ドルぐらいの稼ぎになったようです。

03. Once I was 20 years old, my story got told

「my story got told」で、「僕の物語が広まる」という意味です。「got told」で「みんなに話される=話題になる」というイメージです。

04. Remember life and then your life becomes a better one

上のフレーズで父親の死について言及しています。生きる、あるいは人生って意味を考え直した時、少しは良くなるだろうと、聞き手に対して語りかけています。
