paroles de chanson Those Were The Days - Original - Mary Hopkin

Once upon a time, there was a tavern
Where we used to raise a glass or two
Remember how we laughed away the hours
Think of all the great things we would do

Those were the days, my friend
We thought they'd never end
We'd sing and dance forever and a day
We'd live the life we choose we'd fight and never lose
For we were young and sure to have our way
La, la, la, la
Just tonight I stood before the tavern
Nothing seemed the way it used to be

In the glass, I saw a strange reflection
Was that lonely woman really me

Those were the days, my friend
We thought they'd never end
We'd sing and dance forever and a day

We'd live the life we choose we'd fight and never lose
Those were the days, oh yes, those were the days
La, la, la, la
Through the door, there came familiar laughter
I saw your face and heard you call my name
Oh, my friend, we're older but no wiser
For in our hearts the dreams are still the same

Those were the days, my friend
We thought they'd never end
We'd sing and dance forever and a day
We'd live the life we choose we'd fight and never lose
Those were the days, oh yes, those were the days
La la la la lai lai
La la la la lai lai
La la la la La la la la la la
La la la la lai lai
La la la la lai lai
La la la la La la la la la la
La la la la
