Mary Hopkins – “Those Were The Days”

Listen to the song and translate the following lines to Hungarian.

1. Once upon a time there was a tavern

2. Those were the days my friend

3. We’d sing and dance forever and a day

4. Then the busy years went rushing by us

5. We lost our starry notions on the way

6. Nothing seemed the way it used to be

7. Through the door there came familiar laughter

8. For in our hearts the dreams are still the same

 

Key:

1. Egyszer volt, hol nem volt egy ivó

2. Micsoda napok voltak azok, barátom

3. Énekeltünk és táncoltunk örökké és még egy napig

4. Aztán a dolgos évek elszaladtak mellettünk

5. Ragyogó eszméinket elvesztettük útközben

6. Semmi sem olyannak tűnt, mint amilyen volt

7. Az ajtón át ismerős nevetés jött

8. Mert a szívünkben az álmok ugyanazok

 

Mary Hopkins – “Those Were The Days”

 

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…

 

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…

 

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…

 

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…
