Once upon a time there was a tavern
where we use 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 loose,
for we were young and sure to have our way.
 
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 loose,
Those were the days,
О. 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 men 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 loose,
for we were young and sure to have our way.

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 loose,
Those were the days,
О. yes,Those were the days
 
Na-Na-Na-Na-Na..... 

 .....На--На-На-На-На-
Дорогой длинною, да ночкой лунною,
Да с песней той, что в даль летит звеня,
Да с той старинною, да семиструнною,
Что по ночам там мучила меня.
