Once upon a time there was a tavern Once upon a time there was a tavern Era uma vez havia uma taverna Where we used to raise a glass or two Where we used to raise a glass or two Onde costumávamos levantar um copo ou dois Remember how we laughed away the hours Remember how we laughed away the hours Lembre-se como nós rimos as horas And dreamed of all the great things we would do And dreamed of all the great things we would do E sonhei com todas as grandes coisas que faríamos Then the busy years went rushing by us Then the busy years went rushing by us Então os anos ocupados correram por nós We lost our starry notions on the way We lost our starry notions on the way Perdemos nossas noções estreladas no caminho If by chance I'd see you in the tavern If by chance I'd see you in the tavern Se por acaso eu te visse na taverna We'd smile at one another and we'd say We'd smile at one another and we'd say Nós sorriríamos um para o outro e diríamos Those were the days my friend Those were the days my friend Aqueles foram os dias, meu amigo We thought they'd never end We thought they'd never end Nós pensamos que eles nunca terminariam We'd sing and dance forever and a day We'd sing and dance forever and a day Nós cantávamos e dançávamos para sempre e um dia We'd live the life we choose We'd live the life we choose Nós viveríamos a vida que escolhemos We'd fight and never lose We'd fight and never lose Nós lutamos e nunca perdemos For we were young and sure to have our way For we were young and sure to have our way Pois éramos jovens e com certeza teríamos nosso caminho Just tonight I stood before the tavern Just tonight I stood before the tavern Apenas esta noite eu estava diante da taverna Nothing seemed the way it used to be Nothing seemed the way it used to be Nada parecia do jeito que costumava ser In the glass I saw a strange reflection In the glass I saw a strange reflection No vidro eu vi uma estranha reflexão Was that lonely woman really me? Was that lonely woman really me? Essa mulher solitária era mesmo eu? Through the door there came familiar laughter Through the door there came familiar laughter Através da porta veio risada familiar I saw your face and heard you call my name I saw your face and heard you call my name Eu vi seu rosto e ouvi você chamar meu nome Oh my friends we're older but no wiser Oh my friends we're older but no wiser Oh meus amigos somos mais velhos, mas não é mais sábio For in our hearts the dreams are still the same For in our hearts the dreams are still the same Pois em nossos corações os sonhos ainda são os mesmos Those were the days my friend Those were the days my friend Aqueles foram os dias, meu amigo We thought they'd never end We thought they'd never end Nós pensamos que eles nunca terminariam We'd sing and dance forever and a day We'd sing and dance forever and a day Nós cantávamos e dançávamos para sempre e um dia We'd live the life we choose We'd live the life we choose Nós viveríamos a vida que escolhemos We'd fight and never lose We'd fight and never lose Nós lutamos e nunca perdemos Those were the days, oh yes those were the days Those were the days, oh yes those were the days Aqueles eram os dias, oh sim aqueles eram os dias
