Give It Away

If you want more happy than your heart will hold,
If you want to stand taller if the truth were told,
Take whatever you have and give it away.

If you want less lonely and a lot more fun
and deep satisfaction when the day is done,
throw your heart wide open and give it away.

He was working in his garden when I happened by
He waved me over with a look in his eye
And he broke off a few ears of corn

“Here boy, today this corn is just right
So boil it up for your supper tonight.
I’ve learned it’s true what my daddy used to say.
He said: ' Nothing is quite as good until you give it away.'”

If you want more happy than your heart will hold,
If you want to stand taller if the truth were told,
Take whatever you have and give it away.

If you want less lonely and a lot more fun
and deep satisfaction when the day is done,
throw your heart wide open and give it away.

There’s been a lot of water gone over the dam
Since that day in the garden with my Uncle Sam
So I hope you’ll hear these words I have to say:

There are two kinds of folks, takers and givers
gripers, complainers, big hearted livers,
depends on how we choose to spend our days.
We can hoard up all we’ve got or just give it all away.

If you want more happy than your heart will hold,
If you want to stand taller if the truth were told,
Take whatever you have and give it away.

If you want less lonely and a lot more fun
and deep satisfaction when the day is done,
throw your heart wide open and give it away.

If you want more happy than your heart will hold,
If you want to stand taller if the truth were told,
Take whatever you have and give it away.

If you want less lonely and a lot more fun
and deep satisfaction when the day is done,
throw your heart wide open and give it away.

Give it away
Give it away
Give it away
Give it away

Daj drugima

Ako želiš da budeš srećniji nego što tvoje srce može da izdrži,
ako želiš da stojiš ponosno kada se govori istina,
uzmi sve što imaš i daj drugima.

Ako želiš manje usamljenosti i zanimljiviji život,
duboko zadovoljstvo na kraju dana,
široko otvori svoje srce i daj ga drugima!

On je radio u svojoj bašti kad sam prolazio tuda,
mahnuo mi, pogledao me značajno
i odlomio mi nekoliko klipova kukuruza.

"Evo, momče, danas je ovaj kukuruz sazreo
i zato ga skuvaj za večeru.
Shvatio sam da je istina ono što mi je otac govorio:
'Ništa nije tako dobro dok ga ne daš drugome.' "

Ako želiš da budeš srećniji nego što tvoje srce može da izdrži,
ako želiš da stojiš ponosno kada se govori istina,
uzmi sve što imaš i daj drugima.

Ako želiš manje usamljenosti i zanimljiviji život,
duboko zadovoljstvo na kraju dana,
široko otvori svoje srce i daj ga drugima!

Dosta je vode prošlo preko brane
od tog dana u bašti sa mojim ujka Semom,
zato se nadam da ćeš čuti ovo što moram da ti kažem:

Postoje dve grupe ljudi, oni koji uzimaju i oni koji daju
škrtice, oni koji se stalno žale, i širokogrudi,
sve zavisi kakvi odlučimo da budemo,
da gomilamo ono što imamo ili da to podelimo sa drugima.

Ako želiš da budeš srećniji nego što tvoje srce može da izdrži,
ako želiš da stojiš ponosno kada se govori istina,
uzmi sve što imaš i daj drugima.

Ako želiš manje usamljenosti i zanimljiviji život,
duboko zadovoljstvo na kraju dana,
široko otvori svoje srce i daj ga drugima!

Ako želiš da budeš srećniji nego što tvoje srce može da izdrži,
ako želiš da stojiš ponosno kada se govori istina,
uzmi sve što imaš i daj drugima.

Ako želiš manje usamljenosti i zanimljiviji život,
duboko zadovoljstvo na kraju dana,
široko otvori svoje srce i daj ga drugima!
