Those were the days / Aquellos eran los dias
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.
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?.
Precisamente anoche miré por la ventana de la taberna,
nada parecía como solía ser,
en el cristal vi un extraño reflejo,
aquella mujer encantadora ¿era yo de verdad?
Those were the days my friend

we'd fight and never lose
for we were young and sure to have our way.
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.

Había una vez una taberna
donde solíamos brindar con un vaso o dos
recordando cómo nos reíamos durante horas
y soñábamos con todas las grandes cosas que nos gustaría hacer.

Aquellos eran los días mi amigo,
que pensábamos que nunca acabarían,
solíamos cantar y bailar siempre y un día
hemos vivido la vida que elegimos
y hemos luchado para nunca perder
éramos jóvenes y estábamos seguros de tener una meta.

Por la puerta llegó una sonrisa familiar, vi tu cara y te y oí decir mi nombre
o mi amigo, somos más viejos pero no más sabios
y en nuestros corazones,
los sueños siguen siendo los mismos.
