Sammy Davis Jr. [English translation]

Verse 1

Born in the 80's

Somewhere in the middle

Then you were just a child, or maybe a grandchild

And never interested in tomorrow, not at all.

Gravity, seriously? Yes, certainly

It was Abbey Road, Plura and Rolling Stones

On the record player until they day you moved away from home

Now it's Evert Taube, Dylan and Common and Wailing Souls

Wonder where your inspiration comes from?

They say I sound old school, baby

Like Frank and Sammy Davis

Singing in the rain like Gene Kelly

No, you only want to believe what you can barely hear

But they say, say, say, it was better before

Yeah, they maintain that I sound old school, baby

Like Frank and Sammy Davis

Singing in the rain like Sammy Davis

No, you only want to believe what you can barely hear

But they say, say, say, say, say that it was better before

Verse 2

I'm not the one who aspires to go back

But black shoes after 6 PM

I bought sneakers for half my ? and

The second half of the mattress in fear that there will be worse days

But no, is this how it's supposed to be?

Don't I have enough of nothing inside?

While the old people dream of Jerry Lee

And play away their pension in the lottery

For instance, the home starts to burn, but

Call the firemen and the police, the lawyer, Lord Jesus

But I won't miss the rerun of The Man from Uncle Garfunkel and Simon

I grew up with the A-Team, Airwolf and McGyver

Because I had heard of pensioners

And everything in the world was better before

Including the weather

(Chorus)

(Bridge)

Call it a day dream, say it was something else before

But grandma*, it's alright

That you grow up, get a haircut and get a job,

And to not impersonate James Brown

But it wasn't the same thing for young mothers and fathers

When Woodstock came and the 70's

Or '69, you wonder a little

Was it the same, same, same thing before?

(Chorus)
