Many years from now
When your grandchildren climb up on your knee
You may be quite astonished to see
How many channels they can change on TV
When some old film in black and white
Comes on and there you are up on the screen
Or is it someone just like someone you've been
Looking not a day over nineteen
"Granddad", the little ones are asking you
"Why do you look so sad?"
So you tell them all about the fun you had
"Back in '64, before you were born
People had no time for pouring scorn
(Or scoring porn)
On dreams of love and peace, no one was obese
Only tight trousers were worn"
"Back in '64, we were at it like knives
Back in '64, the time of our lives
Was in the present tense
Now, does that make common sense?
Any more than girls with hair-dos called beehives?"
Back in '64, before you were born
Back in '64, before you were born
But as you've gone on and on
Your audience has flown
And as you find yourself all on your own
You may wistfully recall
How Benjamin Disraeli said that
Life is too short to be small
Or maybe like some old time song
Over all it's long so, so long, it's all over
Перевод
Через много лет
Когда ваши внуки заберутся к вам на колени
Вы можете быть очень удивлены, увидев
Сколько каналов они смогут переключать по телевизору
Когда какой-нибудь старый фильм черно-белое
Заходит, и вот вы на экране
Или это кто-то такой же, как и вы
Выглядящий ни на день старше девятнадцати
"Дедушка", маленькие дети спрашивают тебя
"Почему ты выглядишь таким грустным?"
Так ты рассказываешь им все о том, как тебе было весело
"Еще в 1964 году, еще до твоего рождения
Люди некогда было изливать презрение
(Или забивать порно)
В мечтах о любви и мире никто не страдал ожирением
Только узкие брюки носили"
"Еще в 64-м мы мы были в этом как ножи
Тогда, в 64-м, в то время нашей жизни
Было в настоящем времени
Итак, имеет ли это здравый смысл?
Не больше, чем девушки с прическами, называемые ульями ?"
В 1964 году, до вашего рождения
В 64 году, до вашего рождения
Но по мере того, как вы продвигались вперед и вперед
Ваша аудитория летела
И когда вы окажетесь совершенно одни
Вы можете с тоской вспомнить
Как это сказал Бенджамин Дизраэли
Жизнь слишком коротка, чтобы быть маленькой
Или, может быть, как какая-нибудь старая песня
В общем, это так долго, так долго, все кончено
