Paroles et traduction Ison & Fille feat. Aleks - Vi var barn då

Vi var barn då

Det var bra då, de va de va bra då
Det var bra då, vi vi vi va barn då
Vi var barn då vi va vi va barn då
Vi var barn då, vi va vi va barn då
Det var bra då, de va de va bra då
Det var bra då, de va de va bra då

Vi träffades på skolgården, 1990 nånting I de tidigare skolåren
Hon va söt, hon va glad, fråga chans blev ett par
Var tillsammans en dag
Vi var barn då
Det var så mycket enklare
På gården satt vi bänkade
Ovetande om tiderna som väntade
Innan Ison gick bort
Innan Yassin gick bort
Innan Banji gick bort
Vi var barn då
Då ett år var en evighet
Och inget svek hade brutit upp vår helighet
Vi var överens om sakerna vi gav varann, sakerna vi sa varann
Behövde aldrig ens ta I hand
Vi var barn då
Men vi pratade aldrig barnspråk
Vi talade I klarspråk
Och jag kan sakna den tiden
Sakna det folket
Sakna det livet

(Vi var barn då)
Vi var barn då vi va vi va barn då
Vi var barn då, vi va vi va barn då
(Det var bra då)
Det var bra då, de va de va bra då
Det var bra då, de va de va bra då
(Vi var barn då)
Vi var barn då vi va vi va barn då
Vi var barn då, vi va vi va barn då
(Det var bra då)
Det var bra då, de va de va bra då
Det var bra då, Vi vi vi va barn då

In I tidsmaskinen ska vi ta en titt på ett gäng som ville ha mer som Oliver Twist
Kurder, araber, gambianer på dessa tider de lyste om staden, gulddragen
Min första kyss fick jag I min port
Mot andra skolor fan va vi slogs och fan va vi tog
Men allt som allt fan va vi log
Det var jag och min crew det var vi mot dom
Vi tuggade under vintern till sommaren kom
Bruka prata om drömmarna vi hade
På bänken på toppen av texacobacken
Bästa tiden I mitt liv gick förbi, sa inte ens hejdå
Då hade jag dreads och en skateboard
Den bilden, den säger allt
Kunde inte dra min tag tillräckligt snabbt, mannen
Varför tryckte vi inte på paus-knappen
Vi var barn då, ser det så klart så
Att jag nästan där bror jag svär

Känns som att varje dag var ett solsken
Och när solen försov sig, vi sken
Vi var bra då, vi va vi va barn då
Knubbig på mammas mat nu jag blivit smal så klart jag reminissar
Bort I egna tankar minuter blir timmar
Jag är fast I tiden
Chansen är liten
Jag kommer dit igen
Låten rockar på repeat igen
Man får energin igen
Det är sant

Det var dagar om oskrivna lagar
Du har min, jag har din rygg tills knogar flagnar
Oavsett vad brorsan
Du vet vad du har brorsan
Vid din sida som saker ska smälla av brorsan
En krånglig tid med ton av skit på axlarna
Fortsatte gå för stod man kvar så fastna man
Men jag kan ändå sakna den tiden, Sakna det folket Sakna det livet, Svär

Vi var barn då
Det var bra då, då, då, då
Vi var barn då
Det var bra då, då, då, då

We were kids then

It was good then, it was, it was good then
It was good then, we, we, we were kids then
We were kids then, we were, we were kids then
We were kids then, we were, we were kids then
It was good then, it was, it was good then
It was good then, it was, it was good then

We met on the school playground, 1990 something in the earlier school years
She was cute, she was cheerful, I asked for a chance, we became a couple
We were together for a day
We were kids then
It was so much easier
We sat on the benches in the yard
Unaware of the times that awaited
Before Ison passed away
Before Yassin passed away
Before Banji passed away
We were kids then
When a year was an eternity
And no betrayal had broken our sanctity
We agreed on the things we gave each other, the things we said to each other
We never even had to shake hands
We were kids then
But we never spoke in baby talk
We spoke in plain language
And I can miss that time
Miss those people
Miss that life

(We were kids then)
We were kids then, we were, we were kids then
We were kids then, we were, we were kids then
(It was good then)
It was good then, it was, it was good then
It was good then, it was, it was good then
(We were kids then)
We were kids then, we were, we were kids then
We were kids then, we were, we were kids then
(It was good then)
It was good then, it was, it was good then
It was good then, we, we, we were kids then

In the time machine, we will take a look at a group that wanted more like Oliver Twist
Kurds, Arabs, Gambians in those times they shone in the city, gold digging
I had my first kiss in my doorway
Against other schools, we fought and we took
But after all we laughed so much
It was me and my crew, it was us against them
We chewed from winter until summer came
Used to talk about the dreams we had
On the bench at the top of the Texaco slope
The best time of my life passed by, didn't even say goodbye
Then I had dreads and a skateboard
That image says it all
I couldn't pull my tag fast enough, man
Why didn't we press the pause button?
We were kids then, I see it so clearly
That I'm almost there, brother, I swear

Feels like every day was sunshine
And when the sun slept in, we shone
We were good then, we were, we were kids then
Chubby on my mother's food, now I've become thin, of course I reminisce
Lost in my own thoughts, minutes become hours
I'm stuck in time
The chance is small
I'll get there again
The song rocks on repeat again
You get the energy again
It's true

They were days of unwritten laws
You've got mine, I've got your back until our knuckles peel
Whatever, brother
You know what you have, brother
At your side when things are going to explode, brother
A difficult time with a ton of shit on our shoulders
Kept going because if you stood still, you got stuck
But I can still miss that time, miss those people, miss that life, I swear

We were kids then
It was good then, then, then, then
We were kids then
It was good then, then, then, then
