7 years – Lukas Graham (Offical Version)

Die Musik ist die Sprache der Leidenschaft. Etwas ganz besonderes. Mit der Musik kann man die eigenen Gefühle ausdrücken. Die Musik definiert die Person, besser gesagt die Charakteren. Für mich persönlich spielt die Musik eine sehr grosse Rolle in meinem Leben. Ich liebe es die verschiedenen Klänge der Instrumente zu hören oder unmittelbar mitzuspielen. In dieser Medienwelt ist heutzutage fast jedem dieser Song bekannt. Es handelt sich dabei um ein Lied von Lukas Graham, bei welchem es um das Leben geht, in dem man immer älter wird.

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 figure

Once I was eleven years old, my daddy told me
Go get yourself a wife or you'll 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 the glory, just always seemed to bore me
Cause only those I really love will ever 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 meet before I leave, I hope I'll see you later.

Once I was 20 years old, my story got told
I was writing about everything, I saw before me
Once I was 20 years old.

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.

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

Soon I'll be 60 years old, my daddy got 61
Remember life and then your life becomes a better one
I made the 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 60 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 60 years old
Soon I'll be 60 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 60 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

Stilmittel	Metapher: „It was a big big world, but we thought we were bigger.“ (V. 4) Übersetzung Deutsch: „Es war eine grosse, grosse Welt, aber wir dachten wir wären grösser.“ Eine Verknüpfung zwischen der grossen Welt und uns Menschen, hat der Autor für dieses Gedicht verwendet. Dies sind zwei völlig unverbundene Bereiche, deswegen ist es eine Metapher. Das lyrische Ich stellt eine Übertreibung dar.
