如果想學易於朗朗上口、歌詞又寓含深意的經典老歌，我推薦妳一首四十多年前的老歌 Those were the days。 # z6 d1 E% W* f0 D F# V5 |- @% @! `8 W0 @+ f) [
這首歌是 Mary Hopkins 在 1968 年發行的處女作。原曲來自二十世紀初的蘇聯吉普賽歌謠 Dorogoi dlinnoyu (Дорогой длинною)，第一個錄音作品是西元 20 年代蘇聯的全能文藝青年 Alexander Vertinsky。Mary Hopkins 的作品則是最受歡迎的英譯版本。 . v9 X) k1 X+ P4 z ) k$ E5 _/ }/ _# U+ w+ z9 Q8 ?# v: d) E; O0 J
