Once upon a time there was a tavern 很早以前有一家酒馆
Where we used to raise a glass or two 我们常到那里喝上一两杯
Remember how we laughed away the hours 记得我们整日谈天说笑
Think of all the great things we would do 思考着我们所有的伟大计划
Those were the days my friend 我的朋友 那些往日情怀
We thought they'd never end 我们以为永远不会结束
We'd sing and dance forever and a day 我们会永远载歌载舞
We'd live the life we choose 我们要按自己的方式生活
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，我们坚定自己的道路
La la la la... 啦 啦 啦 啦 .....
Then the busy years went rushing by us 忙碌的时光匆匆而过
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 如果碰巧我在酒馆遇见你
We'd smile at one another and we'd say 我们会相视一笑 然后说
Those were the days my friend 我的朋友 那些往日情怀
We thought they'd never end 我们以为永远不会结束
We'd sing and dance forever and a day 我们会永远载歌载舞
We'd live the life we choose 我们要按自己的方式生活
We'd fight and never lose 我们奋斗 从不服输
Those were the days, oh yes those were the days 那些往日情怀 是啊 那都是往日情怀
La la la la... 啦 啦 啦 啦 .....
Just tonight I stood before the tavern 就在今晚 我驻足在酒馆门前
Nothing seemed the way it used to be 一切都与以前不一样了
In the glass I saw a strange reflection 透过玻璃窗 我看到一个陌生的影子
Was that lonely woman really me 那孤独的女人真的是我吗?
Those were the days my friend 我的朋友 那些往日情怀
We thought they'd never end 我们以为永远不会结束
We'd sing and dance forever and a day 我们会永远载歌载舞
We'd live the life we choose 我们要按自己的方式生活
We'd fight and never lose 我们奋斗 从不服输
Those were the days, oh yes those were the days 那些往日情怀 是啊 那都是往日情怀
La la la la... 啦 啦 啦 啦 .....
Through the door there came familiar laughter 从门里传出熟悉的笑声
I saw your face and heard you call my name 我看见了你 听到你叫着我的名字
Oh my friend we're older but no wiser 哦 我的朋友 我们都老了但并没有变聪明
For in our hearts the dreams are still the same 因为在我们心里梦想依旧
Those were the days my friend 我的朋友 那些往日情怀
We thought they'd never end 我们以为永远不会结束
We'd sing and dance forever and a day 我们会永远载歌载舞
We'd live the life we choose 我们要按自己的方式生活
We'd fight and never lose 我们奋斗 从不服输
Those were the days, oh yes those were the days 那都是往日情怀 是啊 那都是往日情怀
La la la la... 啦 啦 啦 啦 .....
