Those Were the Days 唱:蕭芳芳 Josephine Siao 1969 詞:Gene Raskin 曲:Boris Fomin

經典金曲 Those Were the Days 原是俄國歌曲，頌讚浪漫青春，1968年 The Beatles 的 Paul McCartney 重新監製此曲，Mary Hopkin 主唱，芳芳姐也曾重唱，内容變成懷緬過去光輝。同一音樂，不同歌詞，故事便不一樣。水柸半滿，是好是壞，皆由人心，如何编寫，如何結局，最壞的時刻，黑暗過後，便是最好的開始。 懷緬過去，有時會帶來傷感，但借古鑑今，明辨是非，吸取教訓，便可拓展美好明天。芳芳姐雖年過七十，但雍容華貴，人善心美。若她只懷緬昔日光輝，沒不斷進修，息影後，只養尊處優，不關心社會，不行善績福，沒創立護苗基金，他的人生不會有如此精采。歷史證明，只要在自由民主社會，就可憑個人意志，選擇人生。活在專制國度，白色恐怖中的人，就沒如此運氣，只可跟隨領導走路，做隻棋子。 ********** Those Were the Days 詞：Gene Raskin 曲：Boris Fomin 唱：蕭芳芳 Josephine Siao (蕭芳芳版 只唱前三節歌詞) 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 [Chorus] 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 La la la la... [Verse 2] 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 [Chorus] 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 yes those were the days La la la la... [Verse 3] 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 [Chorus] 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 yes those were the days La la la la... [Verse 4] 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 [Chorus] 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 yes those were the days La la la la... 從前有個小酒館 我們曾經舉杯的地方 記得我們是怎麼笑了 夢想著會做的所有偉大事情 [合唱] 友情歳月 以為永不會結束 唱歌跳舞一整天 生活由自己選擇 戰無不勝 因為還年輕，我要走我路 啦啦啦... [第2節] 流金歳月怱怱過 良辰美景不再 如在酒館中再遇你 我們會彼此微笑，然後說 [合唱] 友情歳月 以為永不會結束 唱歌跳舞一整天 生活由自己選擇 戰無不勝 美麗時光 好時光 啦啦啦... [第3節] 今夜我站在小酒館前 一切已改變 玻璃中有個奇怪反影 那個孤獨的女人真的是我嗎 [合唱] 友情歳月 以為永不會結束 唱歌跳舞一整天 生活由自己選擇 戰無不勝 美麗時光 好時光 啦啦啦... [第4節] 穿過門，傳來熟悉的笑聲 我看到你的臉，聽到你叫我的名字 哦，我的朋友，我們年紀大一些，但是沒有智慧 因為在我們心中，夢想依然存在 [合唱] 那是我朋友的日子 我們以為他們永遠不會結束 我們會唱歌跳舞一整天 我們將過自己選擇的生活 我們會戰鬥，永不失敗 那些日子，哦，是的那些日子 啦啦啦...
