Mary Hopkin - Those Were The Days скачать mp3

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? [Chorus:] 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'd choose. We'd fight and never lose. For we were young and sure to have our way! Di di di di… 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, [Chorus] 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? [Chorus] 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. [Chorus:] 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'd choose. We'd fight and never lose. Those were the days, oh yes those were the days!

Я сегодня просто вспоминала, Помнишь, мир открыт был нам двоим? Как с тобой красиво танцевали - Мы мечтали, как свет покорим. Ты на меня взгляни И вспомни, друг, те дни, Когда все мысли были о любви. Как битва каждый день, И воля как кремень, Когда кипела молодость в крови! То были дни, о да, то были дни! Время шло, и годы проходили, Где же в тех глазах лихой огонь? Неужели всё мы позабыли, Хоть в твоей руке моя ладонь? И вот я стою перед витриной, Отражается старушка в ней. Она смотрит, грустно улыбаясь, Вспоминая дух ушедших дней. Кружатся снежинки в хороводе, Имя ты моё произнесёшь, И по зимней улице холодной, Как и раньше, в танце поведёшь.
