7 Years (Live Version)

Once I was seven years old my mama told me
那年我七岁 妈妈就对我说
Go make yourself some friends or you'll be lonely
去交些朋友 不然你会孤独寂寞
Once I was seven years old
那年我七岁

这个辽阔的大千世界 总以为我们也会变得更加强大
It was a big big world but we thought we were bigger
将彼此逼到绝境 我们得以更快的成长
Pushing each other to the limits we were learning quicker
十一岁那年 我吸喝烈性酒
By eleven smoking herb and drinking burning liquor
生活捉襟见肘 我们离家奋斗只为有个稳定收入
Never rich so we were out to make that steady figure
十一岁那年 爸爸对我说
Once I was eleven years old my daddy told me
给自己找个妻子 否则你会空虚寂寞
Go get yourself a wife or you'll be lonely
那年我十一岁
Once I was eleven years old
我常梦想着有朝一日 能像爸爸一样成为一个歌手

所以我开始写歌 开始写不同的故事
I always had that dream like my daddy before me
曾经的光辉岁月 对我来说也已厌倦
So I started writing songs I started writing stories
因为只有那些 我真正爱的人才真的懂我
Something about that glory just always seemed to bore me
二十岁那年 我的故事广为流传
'Cause only those I really love will ever really know me
黎明还未照耀前 孤独的我无人相伴
Once I was twenty years old my story got told
那年我二十岁
Before the morning sun when life was lonely
我一心实现梦想 从不相信失败
Once I was twenty years old
因为我知道蝼蚁 也能成就不朽

我找到一群伙伴 跟我志同道合的
I only see my goals I don't believe in failure
如果我离开前我们无缘碰面 就让我们后会有期
'Cause I know the smallest voices they can make it major
二十岁那年 我的故事广为流传
I got my boys with me at least those in favor
我写下每一个 我亲眼所见的故事
And if we don't meet before I leave I hope I'll see you later
那年我二十岁
Once I was twenty years old my story got told
很快我们三十而立 我们的歌也是人尽皆知
I was writing about everything I saw before me
我们游遍世界 我们不曾止步
Once I was twenty years old
很快我们就三十了

我依旧在领悟人生真谛
Soon we'll be thirty years old our songs have been sold
爱人为我生了几个孩子
We've traveled around the world and we're still roaming
所以我可以为他们唱我的歌
Soon we'll be thirty years old
我可以为他们讲我的故事

昔日兄弟仍跟有联络
I'm still learning about life
有些仍在追名逐利
My woman brought children for me
有些已被我遗忘脑海
So I can sing them all my songs
兄弟们我仍心怀歉意
And I can tell them stories
很快我就到60岁了， 接近父亲61岁去世的年纪了
Most of my boys are with me
时刻感恩 生活就会更加美好
Some are still out seeking glory
又一次给老爸写信 他高兴不已
And some I had to leave behind
我希望我的孩子偶尔也来看望一下我
My brother I'm still sorry
很快我将年逾六十 不知是否还会觉得人世冷漠
Soon I'll be sixty years old my daddy got sixty-one
还是会拥有一群 温暖我心的孩子
Remember life and then your life becomes a better one
很快我将年逾六十
I made a man so happy when I wrote a letter once
很快我将年逾六十 不知是否还会觉得人世冷漠
I hope my children come and visit once or twice a month
还是会拥有一群 温暖我心的孩子
Soon I'll be sixty years old will I think the world is cold
很快我将年逾六十
Or will I have a lot of children who can warm me
那年我七岁 妈妈就对我说
Soon I'll be sixty years old
去交些朋友 不然你会孤独寂寞

那年我七岁
Soon I'll be sixty years old will I think the world is cold
那年我七岁
Or will I have a lot of children who can warm me
...
Soon I'll be sixty 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
