THOSE WERE THE DAYS MARY HOPKIN

THOSE WERE THE DAYS MARY HOPKIN

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

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 di di
Di di di di di di
Di di di di di di 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

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

Di di di di di di
Di di di di di di
Di di di di di di di di di di

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'd choose
We'd fight and never lose
Those were the days, oh yes, those were the days

Di di di di di di
Di di di di di di
Di di di di di di di di di di
Di di di di di di
Di di di di di di
Di di di di di di di di di di

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'd choose
We'd fight and never lose
Those were the days, oh yes, those were the days

Di di di di di di
Di di di di di di
Di di di di di di di di di di
Di di di di di di
Di di di di di di
Di di di di di di di di di di

La la la la la la
La la la la la la
La la la la la la

I'm 18 and I usually listen to hip-hop, but this song is better than 90% hip-hop song I've ever heard !!!! That was recorded almost 50 years ago and it's still valid ! Thank you Ms. Mary Hopkin -- I promise that my grandchildren will be listen this song !!

Those were the days my friend

we chased the Celtic end

at Hampden park, in the merry month of May

through all the shit and muck, the Rangers fought like fuck

and in the end, those bastards ran away......

It isn't fair for such talent these kind of singers deserve to be in color video!

[hhooman2005]

She sings La la la lal la la la.

The lyrics in the description translates to Di di di di di di di di di di.

II PART: regime being in a boarding school was much for them , in fact the director of the school threatened us with informing the police that we we were in love¿? I was so scared that I leave the horrible school and my parents never undertastand why, even if the director sent letters asking me to go back.

I was only 15 years old when this song was a big hit in (1968) Spain and I used to listen to it with my lover another 15 year old boy and those memories in the time of the fascist of the General Francisco Franco
