7 Years (Later) [Live]

Once I was seven years old, my mama told me
我七岁那年 妈妈跟我说:
"Go make yourself some friends or you'll be lonely"
“多交些朋友吧 别让自己形单影只”
Once I was seven years old
就在我七岁那年

It was a big big world, but we thought we were bigger
这曾是个大大世界 可我们却觉得自己比天还高
Pushing each other to the limits, we were learning quicker
将他人逼到极限 我们很快尝到了教训
By eleven smoking herb and drinking burning liquor
十一岁时学会吸烟 喝着戒酒
Never rich so we were out to make that steady figure
未曾富裕 所以我们出去找了份稳定工作

Once I was eleven years old, my daddy told me
我十一岁那年 爸爸告诉我+
"Go get yourself a wife or you'll be lonely"
“多交些朋友吧 别让自己形单影只”
Once I was eleven years old
就在我十一岁那年

I always had that dream, like my daddy before me
我总是做着一个梦 我爸爸就在我前头
So I started writing songs, I started writing stories
所以我开始写歌 书写属于自己的故事
Something about that glory just always seemed to bore me
那些光耀 我已深感枯燥
'Cause only those I really love will ever really know me
因为只有那些我真正热爱的 才会真正地懂我

Once I was twenty years old, my story got told
我十二岁那年 他人开始讨论关于我的事迹
Before the morning sun, when life was lonely
在清晨破晓之前 我的人生还是无比孤独
Once I was twenty years old
就在我十二岁那年

I only see my goals, I don't believe in failure
我只能看见目标 从未相信失败
'Cause I know the smallest voices, they can make it major
因为我深知 哪怕再小的声音 也能使人名声大噪
I got my boys with me, at least those in favor
我有兄弟陪伴 至少我们有着相同理想
And if we don't meet before I leave, I hope I'll see you later
如果在我离开之前相见 那我希望 之后能与你相会

Once I was twenty years old, my story got told
我十二岁那年 他人开始讨论关于我的事迹
I was writing 'bout everything I saw before me
我开始写我的所见所闻
Once I was twenty years old
就在我十二岁那年

Soon we'll be thirty years old, our songs have been sold
很快我们也将三十而立 我们的歌已受众人追捧
We've traveled around the world and we're still roaming
我们已巡游世界 仍在踏步向前
Soon we'll be thirty years old
很快我们也将年过三十

I'm still learning about life
我仍在领会人生
My woman brought children for me
我的女人为我生子
So I can sing them all my songs
我也能给他们唱我的歌
And I can tell them stories
给他们讲些故事
Most of my boys are with me
多数旧友仍伴我身旁
Some are still out seeking glory
有些仍在追逐梦想
And some I had to leave behind
而有些不得不被我抛之脑后
My brother, I'm still sorry
我的兄弟啊 我仍倍感歉意

Soon I'll be sixty years old, my daddy got sixty-one
很快我也将年过花甲 我的父亲六十一那年走的
Remember life, and then your life becomes a better one
铭记人生 你的生活也将一帆风顺
I made a man so happy when I wrote a letter once
我曾给他写过一封信 这使他无比快乐
I hope my children come and visit once or twice a month
我希望以后我的孩子们每个月也能来看看我

Soon I'll be sixty years old, will I think the world is cold
很快我也将年过六十 我是否还会觉得这人世寒冷
Or will I have a lot of children who can warm me?
抑或我将有许多孩子 温暖我身
Soon I'll be sixty years old
很快我也将年过花甲

Soon I'll be sixty years old, will I think the world is cold
