C'era una volta una strada,
un buon vento mi portň laggiů.
E se la memoria non m'inganna
all'angolo ti presentasti tu.
Quelli eran giorni, si, erano giorni,
al mondo non puoi chiedere di piů.
Noi ballavamo anche senza musica,
nel nostro cuore c'era molto piů.
La ra la ra la la...
Vivevamo in una bolla d'aria
che volava sopra la cittŕ.
La gente ci segnava con il dito
dicendo: "Guarda la felicitŕ!"
Quelli erano giorni, si, erano giorni,
mai niente ci poteva piů fermar.
Quando il semaforo segnava il rosso
noi passavamo allegri ancor di piů.
La ra la ra la ra...
Poi, si sa, col tempo anche le rose
un mattino non fioriscon piů.
E cosě andarono le cose,
anche il buon vento non soffiň mai piů.
Quelli eran giorni, oh si, erano giorni,
al mondo non puoi chiedere di piů.
E ripensandoci mi viene un nodo quě,
e se io canto, questo non vuol dir.
La ra la ra la ra...
Oggi son tornata in quella strada,
un buon ricordo mi ha portata lŕ.
Stavi in mezzo a un gruppo di persone
e raccontavi: "Cari amici miei..."
Quelli eran giorni, si, erano giorni,
al mondo non puoi chiedere di piů.
Noi ballavamo anche senza musica,
nel nostro cuore c'era molto piů.
La ra la ra la ra...
Noi ballavamo anche senza musica,
di lŕ passava la nostra gioventů.
La ra la ra la ra...

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
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
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
For we were young and sure to have our way.
La la la la...
Those were the days, oh yes those were the days
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
For we were young and sure to have our way.
La la la la...
Those were the days, oh yes those were the days
