Tình ca du mục (Those were the days – Le Temps Des Fleurs) (Bản 2)

English version: Those were the days

Intro: [Em][Am][B7][Em]

1. [Em] Once upon a time, there was a tavern

[E7] Where we used to raise a glass or [Am] two

Remember how we laughed away the [Em] hours

[F#7] Think of all the great things we would [B7] do?

Chorus: Those were the [Em] days, my friend, we thought they'd [Am] never end

We'd sing and [D7] dance forever and a [G] day

We'd live the [Am] life we'd choose, we'd fight and [Em] never lose

For we were [B7] young and sure to have our [Em] way

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

[B7] Lá lá la [Em] la la la, lá lá la [Am] la la la

Là la la [B7] la, la lá la la là [Em] la

2. [Em] Then, the busy years went rushing by us

[E7] We lost our starry notions on the [Am] way

If, by chance, I'd see you in the [Em] tavern

We'd [F#7] smile at one another and we'd [B7] say

3. [Em] Just tonight, I stood before the tavern

[E7] Nothing seemed the way it used to [Am] be

In the glass, I saw a strange re- [Em] flection

[F#7] Was that lonely woman really [B7] me?

4. [Em] Through the door, there came familiar laughter

[E7] I saw your face and heard you call my [Am] name

Oh my friend, we're older but no [Em] wiser

[F#7] For in our hearts, the dreams are still the [B7] same

French version: Le Temps Des Fleurs

Intro : [Em][Am][B7][Em]

1. [Em] Dans une taverne du vieux Londres

[E7] Où se retrouvaient des étran –[Am] gers

Nos voix criblées de joie montaient de [Em] l'ombre

[F#7] Et nous écoutions nos cœurs [B7] chanter

Refrain : C'était le [Em] temps des fleurs, on igno- [Am] rait la peur

Les lende- [D7] mains avaient un goût de [G] miel

Ton bras pre- [Am] nait mon bras. ta voix sui- [Em] vait ma voix

On était [B7] jeunes et l'on croyait au [Em] ciel

[B7] Lá lá la [Em] la la la, lá lá la [Am] la la la

Là la la [B7] la, la lá la la là [Em] la

(On était jeunes et l'on croyait au ciel)

2. [Em] Et puis sont venus les jours de brume

[E7] Avec des bruits étranges et des [Am] pleurs

Combien j'ai passé de nuits sans [Em] lune

A chercher la taverne dans mon [B7] cœur

Refrain : Tout comme [Em] au temps des fleurs, où l'on vi- [Am] vait sans peur

Où chaque [D] jour a- [D7] vait un goût de [G] miel

Ton bras pre- [Am] nait mon bras, ta voix sui- [Em] vait ma voix

On était [B7] jeunes et l'on croyait au [Em] ciel

3. [Em] Je m'imaginais chassant la brume

[E7] Je croyais pouvoir remonter le [Am] temps

Et je m'inventais des clairs de [Em] lune

[F#7] Où tous deux nous chantions comme [B7] avant

4. [Em] Et ce soir je suis devant la porte

[E7] De la taverne où tu ne viendras [Am] plus

Et la chanson que la nuit m'ap- [Em] porte

[F#7] Mon cœur déjà ne la reconnaît [B7] plus
