Robin Schulz Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Oh child, will you ever get by?
Will you listen to things I say?
We don't know the difference from your wrong or right
We'll learn it along the way
Oh child, will you drink in the night?
Will you make all the same mistakes?
Do you get around with chasing all the highs
Forget all on your lowest day

And I know that I can't pretend that I haven't had my regret
From the memories that I've kept, to the history I forget
Oh, my father before he left
Oh, there's one thing I wish he said
"Oh child, just do what you love, 'cause you won't get this life again"

Oh child, oh child, no, no, don't you worry
Oh child, oh child, I know you'll be okay
Oh child, oh child, no you won't get this life again, yeah yeah
Oh child, oh child

(Oh oh oh)

Oh child, will you travel the world?
And see all of the things I missed?
You can tell me all about it when you're back
Like I always did
Oh child, maybe you can fall in love with a husband, or a wife
If you're happy when the road is getting rough
I'll be right there by your side

And I know that I can't pretend that I haven't had my regret
From the memories that I've kept, to the history I forget
Oh, my father before he left
Oh, there's one thing I wish he said
"Oh child, just do what you love, 'cause you won't get this life again"
No, you won't get this life again, yeah yeah
No, you won't get this life again yeah, ay yeah, ay yeah, ay yeah

Oh child, oh child
Oh child, oh child
No, no, don't you worry
Oh child, oh child
I know you'll be okay

Oh child, oh child
Oh child, oh child

Oh child, will you know this song?
When I'm gone and I fade away
Will you sing it back? I know it word for word
Back to your child one day
No no no, no non no don't you worry

Oh child, oh child
No no no, don't you worry
Oh child, oh child
I know you'll be okay
Oh child, oh child
No you won't get this life again yeah yeah



Oh child, oh child
No you won't get this life again yeah, ay yeah, ay yeah, ay yeah

Overall Meaning

The song "Oh Child" by Robin Schulz is a heartfelt message from a father figure to the child, and it reflects the hope, worry, and love that comes with parenting. The lyrics ask the child about the future and the uncertainties that may come along the way, and offer the father's experience and guidance as comfort. There is an acknowledgement of the past, and the idea that while we may have regrets and memories that we may forget over time, we can still consciously choose to live our lives doing what we love, as this life is irreplaceable.


The chorus in the song echoes the sentiment that the child will be okay, and that even though life can be unpredictable and challenging, having a loved one there to support you and share in your experiences can make all the difference. The song is not only relatable to parents and children, but also for anyone going through a tough time in their life, and reminds listeners to hold on to hope and keep pushing forward.

LYRICS 🎶

Oh child, will you ever get by
Will you listen to things I say
Will you know the difference from your wrong or right
Will you learn it along the way

Si sientes que te fallan
Los pies al caminar
Volveras de nuevo a levantarte
O en el suelo te quedaras

And I know that I can’t pretend
That I haven’t had my regrets
From the memories that I’ve kept
To the history I forget

Entiende que en la vida
Das un paso a la vez
Oh child, just do what you love
‘Cause you won’t get this life again

Oh child, oh child
No, no, don’t you worry
Oh child, oh child
I know you’ll be okay
Oh child, oh child
No, you won’t get this life again
Oh child, oh child
No, you won’t get this life again

Cuida el amigo que te mereces
Cuida el amor que te pertenece
Vive feliz, no importa mañana
Siempre sincero y siempre real


Mira que la vida pasa y no te das cuenta
No pierdas el tiempo, confía en la experiencia
No, no, no cometas mis errores
Mira que se pagan caro las consecuencias
No, no, no, no, don’t you worry

Oh child, oh child
No, no, don’t you worry
Oh child, oh child
No, no, don’t you worry
Oh child, oh child

Llegaran traiciones
Perderas la fe
Pero no lo tomes personal
Ya sabras en quién creer

Oh child, maybe you can find love
With a husband or a wife
If you’re happy when the road is getting rough
I’ll be happy there by your side

And I know that I can’t pretend
That I haven’t had my regrets
From the memories that I’ve kept
To the history I forget

Entiende que la vida es un paso a la vez
Oh child, just do what you love
‘Cause you won’t get this life again

No, you won’t get this life again
No, you won’t get this life again
Oh child, oh child
Oh child, oh child
Oh child, oh child

Ay yeah, ay yeah, ay yeah
