벌써 이런 노래가 와닿는게 조금 서글퍼지긴 하지만... 며칠전 누나, 형이랑 술 마시다 형이 들려준 정겨운 노래다.. 집에 와서 혼자 듣다 약간 눈물이 날 것 같은 감상에 젖어있었던 Mary Hopkin의 -9;those were the days-9;.. 가끔은 그렇게 밤새 떠들어데고, 다음 날 그 떠들었던 기억에 웃을 수 있던 그 날들이 그립다..
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-9;d never end
We-9;d sing and dance forever and a day
We-9;d live the life we-9;d choose
We-9;d fight and never lose
For we were young and sure to have our way
La-da-da da-da-da
La-da-da da-da-da
La-da-da-da-da, da-da-da-da-da
Then the busy years went rushing by us
We lost our starry notions on the way
If by chance I-9;d see you in the tavern,
We-9;d smile at one another and we-9;d say...
Those were the days my friend
We thought they-9;d never end
We-9;d sing and dance forever and a day
We-9;d live the life we-9;d choose
We-9;d fight and never lose
Those were the days, oh yes,
those were the days
La-da-da da-da-da
La-da-da da-da-da
La-da-da-da-da, da-da-da-da-da
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-9;d never end
We-9;d sing and dance forever and a day
We-9;d live the life we-9;d choose
We-9;d fight and never lose
Those were the days, oh yes,
those were the days
La-da-da da-da-da
La-da-da da-da-da
La-da-da-da-da, da-da-da-da-da
La-da-da da-da-da,
La-da-da da-da-da
La-da-da-da-da, da-da-da-da-da---
Through the door there came familiar laughter
I saw your face and heard you call my name
Oh my friend we-9;re older but no wiser,
For in our hearts the dreams are still the same....
Those were the days my friend
We thought they-9;d never end
We-9;d sing and dance forever and a day
We-9;d live the life we-9;d choose
We-9;d fight and never lose
Those were the days, oh yes,
those were the days
La-da-da da-da-da
La-da-da da-da-da
La-da-da-da-da, da-da-da-da-da
La-da-da da-da-da,
La-da-da da-da-da
La-da-da-da-da, da-da-da-da-da---
La-la-la la-la-la,
La-la-la la-la-la, la-la-la-la-la-la
