Those Were The Days My Friend | notte |
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 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...
Those were the days, oh yes those were the days
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
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...
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 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
For we were young and sure to have our way.
La la la la...
Those were the days, oh yes those were the days
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
For we were young and sure to have our way.
La la la la...
Those were the days, oh yes those were the days
Traduzione:
C'era una volta una taverna
dove andavamo a bere un bicchiere o due.
Ricordi come ridevamo per ore
e sognavamo le grandi cose che avremmo fatto?
Quelli erano i giorni, amico mio,
che pensavamo non sarebbero mai finiti.
Avremmo cantato e ballato per sempre,
avremmo vissuto la vita che sceglievamo,
avremmo combattuto e mai perso
perché eravamo giovani e sicuri di aver trovato la nostra strada.
La la la la...
Poi gli anni intensi ci sono trascorsi addosso,
abbiamo perso...
Se per caso ti avessi visto nella taverna
avremmo sorriso l'uno all 'altro e ci saremmo raccontati.
Proprio stanotte mi sono fermato davanti alla taverna:
niente sembrava come era un tempo.
Ho visto nel bicchiere uno strano riflesso
Quella donna sola ero davvero io?
Attraverso la porta arrivava una risata familiare,
ho visto il tuo viso e ti ho sentito chiamare il mio nome.
Oh amico mio, siamo più vecchi ma non più saggi
perché i sogni nel nostro cuore sono ancora gli stessi.
