메리 홉킨 (Mary Hopkin) - Those were the days (1968)

백화점 끝날때 나오는 노래 'Good bye'를 부르신 분으로 널리(?) 알려진 메리 홉킨 (Mary Hopkin)
소속사는 그 유명한 'Apple Records'
닥터후 뉴 시즌5 '에이미 폰드' 역의 '캐런 길런' (Karen Gillan)은 '메리 홉킨' (Mary Hopkin)를 제법 닮았다는 생각이 든다.

'Those were the days'는 Boris Fomin이 작곡한 Дорогой длинною [Dorogoi dlinnoyu]를
1925년 Tamara Tsereteli와 1926년 Alexander Vertinsky가 각각 발표하였고,
Gene Raskin가 영어가사를 붙인 곡이다.

메리 홉킨이 18세때 부른 이 곡을
이제와서 나이드니 가사가 와 닿네..
아직은 "My friend we're older but no wiser" 인가봐...
철들자 망령이려나 :-p

Mary Hopkin - Those were the days (1968, live in France: 1969)

Writers : Boris Fomin, Gene Raskin / Producer : Paul McCartney

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 for ever 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...

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 for ever 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...

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

Those were the days my friend
We thought they'd never end
We'd sing and dance for ever 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...

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 for ever 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...
