Lukas Graham - 7 years 人生-7歲到60歲
清明假期回家看望爸爸的路上,在廣播電台第一次聽到這首據說現在很紅的《7 years》。
仔細凝聽,
這是一首很簡單的歌,
歌詞很簡單,
旋律很簡單。
但是 …
當我聽到歌者唱到60歲,
I hope my children come and visit once or twice a month,
我竟然鼻酸到想掉淚 (T_T)
希望很簡單,但是聲音的感情卻如此的濃烈。

Google了一下,原來這首歌來自一個丹麥的四人團體-Lukas Graham。

主唱(前方白上衣者)就叫做Lukas Graham,今年27歲,曾經是個童星、兒童合唱團團員、配音員。
父親是愛爾蘭人。Lukas受其父親的影響,很醉心於愛爾蘭民謠音樂(folk music)。
《7 years》歌詞記述的是Lukas Graham自己的故事。
朋友、家人、事業…
曾經的自以為是…
人生的榮耀來自朋友、工作,還是世代的傳承?
對人生的期盼由絢麗歸於平凡,回到最初
在你小的時候,你想要的是什麼?
當你老的時候,你希望的又是什麼?
以下附上7 Years的歌詞和我的中文翻譯...
《7 years》by Lucas Graham
Once I was 7 years old, my mama told me
Go make yourself some friends or you’ll be lonely
Once I was 7 years old
在我7歲的時候,媽媽告訴我:
去交朋友,不然你會寂寞
就在我7歲的時候…
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
曾經,世界很大,但我們認爲自己更大
把彼此推向極端,我們學得更快
還沒11歲就學會了呼麻和喝烈酒
不曾有錢過,所以我們出去工作賺取穩定的收入
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
在我11歲的時候,爸爸告訴我:
找個老婆,否則你會孤單
就在我11歲的時候…
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
我總夢想著能跟爸爸一樣
所以我開始寫歌,開始寫故事
但和光榮有關的事情常常讓我覺得無聊
因為只有我真正愛的人才會真正的了解我
Once I was 20 years old my story got told
Before the morning sun when life was lonely
Once I was 20 years old
在我20歲的時候,我說出了我的故事
在清晨太陽升起之前,生命是如此的孤單
就在我20歲的時候…
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
我只看著目標,不相信失敗
因為我知道即使是最微小的聲音也能使之震耳欲聾
我有志趣相投的哥們和我在一起
如果在我離開前我們沒有碰面的話
我希望以後有機會能看見你
Once I was 20 years old, my story got told
I was writing about everything I saw before me
Once I was twenty years old
在我20歲的時候,我說出了我的故事
我寫了我看到的事
就在我20歲的時候…
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
很快我們就要30歲了,歌賣出去了
我們繞著世界旅行,但卻仍漫無目地的遊盪
很快我們就要30歲了…
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
我還在瞭解生命是怎麼一回事
我的女人幫我生了孩子
所以我可以唱我的歌、說我的故事給他們聽
我大部份的哥們還跟我在一起
也有人離開追尋榮耀
但有些人我必須拋諸腦後
兄弟,我現在仍然覺得很抱歉!
Soon I’ll be 60 years old, my daddy got 61
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
很快地,我會60歲。我爸爸活到61歲
記住你的人生,那麼你的人生會更精采
我曾經寫了一封信給爸爸,就讓爸爸非常開心
我只希望我的孩子可以每個月來看我一兩次
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
很快地,我就會60歲了
我會認為這個世界冷漠?
還是我會有很多孩子來溫暖我?
很快地,我就會60歲了…
Once I was 7 years old, my mama told me
Go make yourself some friends or you’ll be lonely
Once I was 7 years old
在我七歲的時候,我媽媽跟我說
去交朋友,不然你會寂寞
就在我7歲的時候…
