[Intro - Piedziedājums] Neviens, neviens, neviens, neviens Negrib būt vecs Laiks skrien un skrien, un skrien, un skrien Bet, esmu tāds pats [1.Pants] Konservi, TV programma un mazdārziņā stādi Taču tici vai nē, bet arī mēs reiz būsim stereotipiski pensionāri Nevis jauni un bagāti, bet veci un bagāti Un kapēc gan ne bagāti, ja iekrājumi glabāti Siltumnīcā tomāti, bet vasarnīcā banāni Nodziedāti salāti - aranžijā balāde Seni un antikvāri Muzeja eksponāti Uz deguniem okulāri Draugos ar aptiekāri Krustvārdu mīklas un sudoku kaudze Mums piestāvēs, kad būsim vecākā paaudze Paliks eksistence un inteliģence Diemžēl varbūt arī impotence [Piedziedājums] Neviens, neviens, neviens, neviens Negrib būt vecs Laiks skrien un skrien, un skrien, un skrien Bet, esmu tāds pats [2.Pants] Kad mums būs astoņdesmittrīs Bet balle ritēs vēl mūsu asinīs Tiklīdz pensiju mums ieskaitīs Pašaus vaļā, līdz tam, kad uzaust rīts Dzersim tēju uz terases no izejamās tasītes Un uzdzersim no blašķītes, kamēr izlasīsim avīzi Mīlēšu katru tavu krociņu un grumbu Mīlēšu, pat ja būsi apaļa, kā bumba [Piedziedājums] 2x Neviens, neviens, neviens, neviens Negrib būt vecs Laiks skrien un skrien, un skrien, un skrien Bet, esmu tāds pats [Pirmspiedziedājums] Neviens negrib būt vecs Bet esmu tāds pats Laiks skrien, laiks skrien Un tici vai nē, bet arī mēs reiz būsim Neviens negrib būt vecs Nevis jauni un bagāti, bet veci un bagāti Laiks skrien, laiks skrien, skrien, skrien, skrien Un skrien! [Piedziedājums] 2x Laiks skrien un skrien, un skrien, un skrien Bet, esmu tāds pats Neviens, neviens, neviens, neviens Negrib būt vecs

Meaning of "Vecumdienas" by Citi Zēni
These lyrics immediately confront a universal truth: "No one wants to be old." Yet, they quickly pivot, offering a surprisingly detailed and defiant vision of what old age could actually be. The song sets up a compelling tension between the relentless march of time and an enduring, unchanging sense of self. The core conflict lies in that repeated refrain, juxtaposed with the speaker's assertion, "But I am the same," even as "Time flies." This highlights a disconnect between the external perception of aging and an internal, unchanging spirit. The lyrics then playfully subvert typical stereotypes, acknowledging the "canned goods, TV program, and garden plants" but adding a twist: "Not young and rich, but old and rich." The song masterfully uses contrasting imagery to build its unique charm. It paints a picture of stereotypical old age—crossword puzzles, sudoku, and a close relationship with the pharmacist—but then injects humor and aspiration. The idea of "bananas in the summer house" or the "party will still be in our blood" creates a charmingly rebellious tone, suggesting that even in decline, life can retain its quirks, pleasures, and vitality. Ultimately, these lyrics find their deepest emotional resonance in the second verse's tender commitment. The speaker promises to love "every wrinkle and crease," even if their partner becomes "round like a ball." This intimate, unconditional affirmation transforms the abstract fear of physical aging into a celebration of enduring love and shared spirit, suggesting that true connection and vitality persist far beyond superficial changes.
