TENIERS (David), Scene de taverne. 1640 - HOPKIN (Mary), those were the days
Il vaut mieux rêver sa vie que la vivre,
encore que la vivre, ce soit encore la rêver
Marcel PROUST

Illustration musicale: Mary HOPKIN - those were the days La chanson a été déposée en 1926 par le compositeur russe Boris Fomine (1900-1948) sous le titre Дорогой длинною (Dorogoï dlinnoïou) ; elle est inspirée du folklore tzigane, avec des paroles de Konstantin Podrevski Puis Mary Hopkin, sur les conseils de Paul McCartney, l'enregistre pour son premier single, dont il est aussi le producteur.
Once upon a time there was a tavern Where we used to raise a glass or two Remember how we laughed away the hours Think 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 La-la-la-da-da-da
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
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?
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
