MARY HOPKIN Those were the days

Once upon a time there was a tavern
where we used to raise a glass or two,
remember how we laughed away the hours
and dreamed of all the great things wewould 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 sureto have our way.

Then the busy years went rushing by us
we lost our starry notions on the way
if by chance I'd see you in the tavern
we'd smile at one another
and we'd say

(CHORUS)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 werethe days.

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?.

(CHORUS)

Through the doorthere 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.

Había una vezuna taberna
donde solíamos brindar con un vaso o dos
recordando cómo nos reíamos durante horas
y soñábamos con todas las grandes cosas que nos gustaría hacer.

Aquellos eran los días mi amigo,que pensábamos que nunca acabarían,
solíamos cantar y bailar siempre y un día
hemos vivido la vida que elegimos
y hemos luchado para nunca perder
éramos jóvenes y estábamos seguros de tener unameta.

Luego los ajetreados años
volaron para nosotros,
perdimos nuestros ideales en el camino,
si por suerte te viera en la taberna
nos sonreiríamos otra vez y nos diríamos

(ESTRIBILLO)Aquellos eran los días mi amigo,
que pensábamos que nunca acabarían,
solíamos cantar y bailar
siempre y un día hemos vivido la vida que elegimos

y hemos luchado para nunca perder
aquellos eran...
