Мой подарок форумчанам к Новому году!!
Коллекция фирменных минусов этого нестареющего шлягера...
К несравненной "Дорогой длинною.." Бориса Фомина и Константина Подревского уже давно неровно дышат на западе и после легендарного Александра Вертинского,впервые исполнившего её в 20-е годы прошлого века,появились симпатичные иностранные варианты..
Мои коллеги-немцы с пеной у рта доказывают,что это английская песня,настолько популярна она стала в мире...
А такую популярность ей принесло исполнение Mary Hopkins.
Предлагаю два минуса этой песни её исполнения...
Mary Hopkins - Those Were The Days
видео .. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AyaTIXdN5fI
Once upon a time there was a tavern
Were we used to raise a glass or two
Remember how we laughed away the hours
Think of all the great things we will 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'd choose
We'd fight and never loose
Oh we were young and sure to have our way
[Chorus]
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 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'd choose
We'd fight and never loose
Those were the days
Oh yes those were the days
[Chorus]
Just a night I stood before the tavern
Nothing seemed the way it used to be
In the glass I saw 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 forever and a day
We'd live the life we'd choose
We'd fight and never loose
Those were the days
Oh yes those were the days
[Chorus]
Through the door they 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'd choose
We'd fight and never loose
Those were the days
Oh yes those were the days
[Chorus]
