歌词与中文翻译
Once upon a time
很久以前
There was a tavern
有一家酒馆
Where we used to raise a glass or two
我们常在那儿喝上一两杯
Remember how we laughed away the hours
还记得我们如何用欢声笑语中度过时光
And dreamed of all the great things we would do?
肆意畅想我们所有伟大的梦想？
Then the busy years went rushing by us
后来忙碌的日子从我们身边匆匆逝去
We lost our starry notions on the way
我们在路上遗失了那些星光璀璨的想法
If by chance I'd see you in the tavern
如果哪天碰巧在酒馆遇见你
We'd smile at one another and we'd say
我们会相视一笑，并且说
Those were the days my friend
那就是我们的往日时光啊，朋友
We thought they'd never end
我们认为它将永不终结
We'd sing and dance forever and a day

We'd live the life we choose
我们会过上我们选择的生活
We'd fight and never lose

For we were young and sure to have our way

Di Di Di Di...
Those were the days

oh yes those were the 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 the lonely fellow really me?
