7 Years – Lukas Graham

Once I was seven years old, my mama told me

Saat usiaku 7 tahun, ibuku berkata kepadaku
Go make yourself some friends or you'll be lonely
Carilah beberapa teman atau kamu akan kesepian
Once I was seven years old
Saat usiaku 7 tahun, ibuku mengatakan kepadaku

It was a big big world, but we thought we were bigger

Itu adalah dunia yang sangat besar, tapi kami berpikir kami lebih besar
Pushing each other to the limits, we were learning quicker
Mendorong satu sama lain hingga batas, kami belajar lebih cepat
By 11 smoking herb and drinking burning liquor
Dengan sebelas ramuan rokok dan minum-minuman keras
Never rich so we were out to make that steady figure
Tidak pernah kaya jadi kami keluar untuk menjadi mapan
Once I was 11 years old, my daddy told me
Saat usiaku 11 tahun, ayahku berkata kepadaku
Go get yourself a wife or you'll be lonely
Pergilah dapatkan seorang istri atau kau akan kesepian
Once I was 11 years old
Saat usiaku 11 tahun
I always had that dream like my daddy before me
Aku selalu memiliki mimpi seperti impian ayahku dulu
So I started writing songs, I started writing stories
Maka aku mulai menulis lagu, aku mulai menulis cerita
Something about the glory, just always seemed to bore me
Sesuatu tentang kejayaan, hanya saja selalu tampak membosankan aku
'Cause only those I really love will ever really know me
Sebab hanya yang ku cintai yang akan memahami ku
Once I was 20 years old, my story got told
Saat usia ku 20 tahun, kisahku disampaikan
Before the morning sun, when life was lonely
Sebelum matahari pagi, ketika hidup menjadi sepi
Once I was 20 years old
Saat usia ku 20 tahun
I only see my goals, I don't believe in failure
Aku hanya melihat tujuanku, aku tidak pecaya dengan kegagalan
'Cause I know the smallest voices, they can make it major
Karena aku tahu suara terkecil, itu bisa menjadi besar
I got my boys with me atleast those in favor
Aku bersama dengan anak-anakku setidaknya mereka yang mendukung
And if we don't meet before I leave, I hope I'll see you later
Dan jika kita tak bertemu sebelum aku pergi, aku harap kita akan berjumpa lagi
Once I was 20 years old, my story got told
Saat usia ku 20 tahun, kisahku disampaikan
I was writing 'bout everything, I saw before me
Aku menulis tentang semua hal yang aku lihat
Once I was 20 years old
Saat usia ku 20 tahun
Soon we'll be 30 years old, our songs have been sold
Saat kami beranjak 30 tahun, lagu-lagu kami telah terjual
We've traveled around the world and we're still roaming
Kami telah berkeliling dunia dan kami masih menjelajah
Soon we'll be 30 years old
Saat kami beranjak 30 tahun
I'm still learning about life
Aku masih belajar tentang kehidupan
My woman brought children for me
Istriku membawa anak-anak kepada ku
So I can sing them all my songs
Jadi aku bisa menyanyikan mereka semua laguku
And I can tell them stories
Dan aku bisa bercerita untuk mereka
Most of my boys are with me
Sebagian besar anak-anakku bersama dengan ku
Some are still out seeking glory
Bebrapa masih keluar mencari kejayaan
And some I had to leave behind
Dan ada beberapa yang harus aku tinggalkan
My brother I'm still sorry
Saudaraku, aku masih menyesal
Soon I'll be 60 years old, my daddy got 61
Sebentar lagi usiaku 60 tahun, ayahku 61
Remember life and then your life becomes a better one
Mengingat kehidupan dan kemudian hidup mu akan menjadi lebih baik
I made the man so happy when I wrote a letter once
Aku membuat seorang sangat bahagia ketika aku mengirimnya surat
I hope my children come and visit, once or twice a month
Aku harap anak-anakku datang dan berkunjung, satu atau dua kali sebulan
Soon I'll be 60 years old, will I think the world is cold
Sebentar lagu usiaku 60 tahun, akankah aku berpikir dunia yang dingin
Or will I have a lot of children who can warm me
Atau akankah aku memiliki banyak anak yang bisa menghangatkanku
Soon I'll be 60 years old
Sebentar lagi usiaku 60 tahun
Soon I'll be 60 years old, will I think the world is cold
Sebentar lagi usiaku 60 tahun, akankah aku berpikir dunia yang dingin
Or will I have a lot of children who can hold me
Atau akankah aku memiliki banyak anak yang bisa menggenggam ku
Soon I'll be 60 years old
Sebentar aku usiaku 60 tahun
Once I was seven years old, my mama told me
Saat usia ku 7 tahun, ibuku berkata pada ku
Go make yourself some friends or you'll be lonely
Carilah beberapa teman atau kau akan kesepian
Once I was seven years old
Saat usiaku 7 tahun
Once I was seven years old
Saat usiaku 7 tahun
