原版歌词:
when i get older i will be
stronger they’ll call me freedom just
like a wavin flag
when i get older i will be
stronger they’ll call me freedom just
like a waving flag
and then it goes back (3x)
ahhho ahhho ahhho
born to a throne
stronger than rome
but violent prone
poor people zone
but its my home
all i have known
where i got grown
streets we would roam
out of the darkness
i came the farthest
among the hardest survive
learn form these streets
it can be bleak
accept no defeet
surrender retreat
(so we struggling)
fighting to eat
(and we wondering)
when we will be free
so we patiently wait
for that faithful day
its not far away
but for now we say
when i get older i will be
stronger they’ll call me freedom just
like a waving flag
and then it goes back (3x)
ahhho ahhho ahhho
so many wars
settling scores
bring us promises
leaving us poor
i heard them say
love is the way
love is the answer
thats what they say
but look how they treat us
make us believers
we fight there battles
then they deceive us
try to control us
they couldn’t hold us
cause we just move forward
like buffalo soldiers
(but we strugglin)
fighting to eat
(and we wondering)
when we will be free
so we patiently wait
for that faithfully day
its not far away
but for now we say
when i get older i will be
stronger they’ll call me freedom just
like a waving flag
and then it goes back (3x)
and then it goes when i get older i will be
stronger they’ll call me freedom just
like a wavin flag
and then it goes back (3x)
ahhhooo ahhhoooo ahhhooo
and everybody will be singing it
and you and i will be singing it
and we all will be singing it
wo wah wo ah wo ah
when i get older i will be
stronger they’ll call me freedom just
like a wavin flag
and then it goes back (3x)
and then it goes when i get older i will be
stronger they’ll call me freedom just
like a wavin flag
and then it goes back (3x)
a oh a oh a oh
when i get older
when i get older
i will be stronger
just like a wavin flag (3x)
flag flag
just like a wavin flag
给我自由，给我激情，给我激励，让我飞翔
随冠军的心驰骋绿茵场
凝聚一起，让我们感受荣耀辉煌
摆脱心中的束缚，我们昂首走在大街上
欢庆的气氛感染着你我，还有天下万邦
永远保有年轻的心，在阳光下尽情歌唱
让我们陶醉在激情奔放的赛场
让我们聚集成暮色苍茫的海洋
我们相信
当我渐渐成长，我将更加强壮
人们会称我自由之王，恰如旗帜风中飘扬
就让你我旗帜飘扬
让你我旗帜飘扬，旗帜飘扬……
