Basada en una vieja canción rusa, “Those were the days” es una historia que nos cuenta cómo aquellos sueños de juventud se van perdiendo con el paso de los años. Popularizada en 1968 por la cantante británica Mary Hopkin, sería versionada infinidad de veces y en todos los idiomas, en el transcurso del tiempo: Sandie Shaw, Dalida, Engelbert Humperdinck, Gigliola Cinquetti, y por 'nuestra' Karina, con el título español de “Qué tiempo tan feliz”.

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 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... Those were the days, oh yes those were the days

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... Those were the days, oh yes those were the days 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 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... Those were the days, oh yes those were the days 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
