昔日时光
Days of Yore

回首昔日时光，
Back in days of yore,
生活简单，也许有一点厌倦。
Life was simple, maybe a little of a bore.
那时的生活多么美好，
Life was good back then,
那是很久，很久以前。
Way, way back when.
淑女的衣裙镶着蕾丝花边，
Ladies has dresses adorned with lace,
满足的笑容在她们的脸庞浮现。
And a smile of contentment on their face.
她们的秀发垂至腰际，
They has gorgeous hair down to their waist,
举止优雅，高贵自然。
And exuded poise and a gentle grace.
被追求者的臂膀呵护时，
They also has a certain charm,
她们的魅力无疑迷人光艳。
When escorted on their suitor’s arm.
当白日将尽，
When day was almost through,
她们会喝一杯薄荷朱利酒，也许两杯。
They would have a mint julep or two.
在那些日子里，人们相互交谈，
In those days people talked to one another,
而不是相互发短信，
Instead of always texting each other,
从前女人是淑女，
Back when ladies were ladies,
男人是儿男，
And men were men,
从前的时光，那是很久以前。
Back in the days of way back when.
