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 dreamed 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...

Those were the days, oh yes those were the days
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...

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...

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...

Gdje su dani ti

Jednom kad sam bila posve mlada
mislila sam, cijeli svijet je moj
smijala se svemu sto je tuzno
o starosti bih rekla - sto je to

Ref.
O, gdje su dani ti, /te lude mladosti/
/o daj recite mi/
o, gdje su sad ti prijatelji svi
o, gdje su dani ti, ti dani radosni
o, gdje su sad ti nasi davni sni

Tada jednog dana sretoh tebe
misleci da ljubav sad je tu
u trenutku zelio si isto
i pruzio mi ruke k'o u snu

Ref.

Ove noci kad se sjetim svega
zelim da je opet isto sve
zar za mene srece vise nema
o zar ja mogu zivjeti bez nje

Jos se nadam da ce doci dani
puni smijeha, ljubavi i sna
i sa njima netko koga trebam
netko kog' cu uvijek ljubit ja
