Those were the days:
Boris Fomin이 작곡한 러시아 민속음악에 미국인 Eugene Raskin이 영어 가사를 보작해 1968년 비틀즈의 Paul McCartney가 영국 Wales 18세 소녀 Mary Hopkins 데뷔곡으로 프로듀싱한 국제적 탄생 배경의 영국 Old-pop입니다.
보통 3분 전후의 팝송에 비해 5분 동안 이어지며 젊은이의 낭만과 꿈, 회고(回顧)를 담은 노래로 본인이 젊었던 현역 시절, 사내 노래 경연에서 부서 대표곡으로 사우들과 무대에 올라 함께 부른 추억도 간직하고 있습니다. 무대에 선 5분이 참 길다고 느꼈습니다.
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 think 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 la la la La la la la la la la La la la la la la la la la
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
Those were the days, oh yes those were the days
La la la la la la la La la la la la la la La la la la la la la la la
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
Those were the days, oh yes those were the days
La la la la la la la La la la la la la la La la la la La la la la la la
la la la la la la la La la la la la la la La la la la La la la la la la
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
Those were the days, oh yes those were the days
La la la la la la la La la la la la la la La la la la La la la la la la
La la la la la la la La la la la la la la La la la la La la la la la la
La la la la La la la la la la La la la la La la la la la la La la la la La la la la la la
1972년 Mary Hopkins(사진 출처_ wikipedia):
