Once upon a time there was a tavern
很早以前有一家酒店
Where we used to raise a glass or two
在那兒我們舉杯換盞
Remember how we laughed away the hours
是否仍記得如何用笑聲消磨時光
And think about the great things we would do
把願做的件件大事來夢想？
Those were the days my friend
往日的情懷啊，朋友
We thought they'd never end
我們想永不終斷
We'd sing and dance forever and a day
我們要唱啊跳啊跳一整天
We'd live the life we choose
我們按自己的方式生活
We'd fight and never lose
我們奮鬥，從不服輸
For we were young and sure to have our way.
因為我們年輕，肯定會獲勝
La la la la...
啦，啦，啦
Then the busy years went rushing by us
後來忙碌歲月從身旁飛過
We lost our starry notions on the way
我們在路上丟失了星光般的理想
If by chance I'd see you in the tavern

We'd smile at one another and we'd say
我們相視而笑並且說
Those were the days my friend

啦，啦，啦
Just tonight I stood before the tavern
就在今夜我站在酒店前
Nothing seemed the way it used to be
沒什麼看來與以前一般
In the glass I saw a strange reflection
在鏡子裡我看到一個陌生的影子
Was that lonely woman really me

Through the door there came familiar laughter
從門裡傳出熟悉的笑聲
I saw your face and heard you call my name

Oh my friend we're older but no wiser
