Re：朱伯伯：Those were the days

朱伯伯的信不只費心打了很長的中文，還配上很美妙的背景音樂。
點進YouTube去看，果然是我小時候會唱的那種老歌！
小時候只會第一段，唱到副歌啦啦啦就算完事。

沒想到在這個季節讀到完整的歌詞，
每一段有那麼些似曾相識，
貼出來讓大家聽聽朱伯伯的歌聲 ( or 心聲？)，以饗同好。
天縱英才如胡老，說不定可以加上生鮮翻譯？！把啦啦啦改成配麻將聲？

Once up a time there was a tavern(小酒館)
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
(這裡開始啦啦啦)


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
Those were the days Oh those were the days
(接著就是啦啦啦)

Just tonight I stood before the tavern
Nothing seemed the way it used to be
In the glass I saw a strange reflection
Was the 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
Those were the days, my friend, those were the days
(再來一段啦啦啦)

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
Those were the days, my friend, those were the days
(最後一段啦啦啦)
