Sandie Shaw - Le Temps Des Fleurs - <br />" Those were the days " 1968 <br />A nice miniskirt from Sixties ! <br /> <br /><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sandie_Shaw">http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sandie_Shaw</a> <br /> <br />----------- <br />LE TEMPS DES FLEURS <br />(Those Were the Days) <br />(Gene Raskin / Eddy Marney) <br /> <br />Dans une taverne du vieux Londres <br />Où se retrouvaient des étrangers <br />Nos voix criblées de joie montaient de l'ombre <br />Et nous écoutions nos cœurs chanter <br />C'était le temps des fleurs <br />On ignorait la peur <br />Les lendemains avaient un goût de miel <br />Ton bras prenait mon bras <br />Ta voix suivait ma voix <br />On était jeunes et l'on croyait au ciel <br />La, la, la... <br />On était jeunes et l'on croyait au ciel <br /> <br />Et puis sont venus les jours de brume <br />Avec des bruits étranges et des pleurs <br />Combien j'ai passé de nuits sans lune <br />A chercher la taverne dans mon cœur <br />Tout comme au temps des fleurs <br />Où l'on vivait sans peur <br />Où chaque jour avait un goût de miel <br />Ton bras prenait mon bras <br />Ta voix suivait ma voix <br />On était jeunes et l'on croyait au ciel <br />La, la, la .... <br />On était jeunes et l'on croyait au ciel <br /> <br />Je m'imaginais chassant la brume <br />Je croyais pouvoir remonter le temps <br />Et je m'inventais des clairs de lune <br />Où tous deux nous chantions comme avant <br />C'était le temps des fleurs <br />On ignorait la peur <br />Les lendemains avaient un goût de miel <br />Ton bras prenait mon bras <br />Ta voix suivait ma voix <br />On était jeunes et l'on croyait au ciel <br />La, la, la .... <br />On était jeunes et l'on croyait au ciel <br /> <br />Et ce soir je suis devant la porte <br />De la taverne où tu ne viendras plus <br />Et la chanson que la nuit m'apporte <br />Mon cœur déjà ne la connaît plus <br />C'était le temps des fleurs <br />On ignorait la peur <br />Les lendemains avait un goût de miel <br />Ton bras prenait mon bras <br />Ta voix suivait ma voix <br />On était jeunes et l'on croyait au ciel <br />La la la... <br />On était jeunes et l'on croyait au ciel <br /> <br />***** <br /> <br />THOSE WERE THE DAYS <br />(Gene Raskin) <br /> <br />Once upon a time there was a tavern <br />Where we used to raise a glass or two <br />Remember how we laughed away the hours <br />And dreamed of all the great things we would do <br /> <br />Those were the days my friend <br />We thought they'd never end <br />We'd sing and dance forever and a day <br />We'd live the life we choose <br />We'd fight and never lose <br />For we were young and sure to have our way. <br />La la la la... <br />Those were the days, oh yes those were the days <br /> <br />Then the busy years went rushing by us <br />We lost our starry notions on the way <br />If by chance I'd see you in the tavern <br />We'd smile at one another and we'd say <br /> <br />Those were the days my friend <br />We thought they'd never end <br />We'd sing and dance forever and a day <br />We'd live the life we choose <br />We'd fight and never lose <br />For we were young and sure to have our way. <br />La la la la... <br />Those were the days, oh yes those were the days <br /> <br />Just tonight I stood before the tavern <br />Nothing seemed the way it used to be <br />In the glass I saw a strange reflection <br />Was that lonely woman really me <br /> <br />Those were the days my friend <br />We thought they'd never end <br />We'd sing and dance forever and a day <br />We'd live the life we choose <br />We'd fight and never lose <br />For we were young and sure to have our way. <br />La la la la... <br />Those were the days, oh yes those were the days <br /> <br />Through the door there came familiar laughter <br />I saw your face and heard you call my name <br />Oh my friend we're older but no wiser <br />For in our hearts the dreams are still the same <br /> <br />Those were the days my friend <br />We thought they'd never end <br />We'd sing and dance forever and a day <br />We'd live the life we choose <br />We'd fight and never lose <br />For we were young and sure to have our way. <br />La la la la... <br />Those were the days, oh yes those were the days <br /> <br />*****
