Once upon a time there was a tavern
很早以前有一家酒店
Where we used to raise a glass or two
在那儿我们举杯换盏
Remember how we laughed away the hours
是否仍记得如何用笑声消磨时光
And think about the great things we would do
把愿做的件件大事来梦想？
Those were the days my friend
往日的情怀啊，朋友
We thought they'd never end
我们想永不终断
We'd sing and dance forever and a day
我们要唱啊跳啊跳一整天
We'd live the life we choose
我们按自己的方式生活
We'd fight and never lose
我们奋斗，从不服输
For we were young and sure to have our way.
因为我们年轻，肯定会获胜
La la la la...
啦，啦，啦.....
Then the busy years went rushing by us
后来忙碌岁月从身旁飞过
We lost our starry notions on the way
我们在路上丢失了星光般的理想
If by chance I'd see you in the tavern

We'd smile at one another and we'd say

Those were the days my friend

We thought they'd never end

We'd sing and dance forever and a day

We'd fight and never lose

Those were the days, oh yes those were the days

Just tonight I stood before the tavern
就在今夜我站在酒店前
Nothing seemed the way it used to be
没什么看来与以前一般
In the glass I saw a strange reflection
在镜子里我看到一个陌生的影子
Was that lonely woman really me

Through the door there came familiar laughter

I saw your face and heard you call my name

For in our hearts the dreams are still the same
