تدريب Shadowing: Lukas Graham - 7 Years (Lyrics) - تعلم التحدث بالإنجليزية عبر الفيديو

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 eleven,

smoking herb and drinking burning liquor Never rich, so we were out to make that steady bigger Once I was eleven years old,

my daddy told me Go get yourself a wife or you'd be lonely Once I was eleven 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 never really know me Once I was twenty years old,

my story got told Before the morning sun when life was lonely Once I was twenty years old

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 need before I leave, I hope I'll see you later Once I was twenty years old,

my story got told I was writing about everything I saw before me Once I was twenty years old

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

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 savvy 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 Soon I'll be sixty years old Will I think the world is cold

or will I have a lot of children who can bore 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

Once I was seven years old

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 I love you, you are the only one

Thank you.
