Enjoy your life and... (somethin somethin somthin...)

I heard it in Cuba on my hols... cant find it anywhere

hmm not too sure if this is what your looking for but have a look anyway
Il Folklorista - Those were the days. There is a sample HERE

Its like it but thats not the one,

as i said parts of the lyrics are above

Is it the one by Mary Hopkin??

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

Then the busy years went rushing by us
We lost our starry notions on the way
If by chance I'd see you in the tavern
We'd smile at one another and we'd say....

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 were older but no wiser
For in our hearts the dreams are still the same....

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......

No no.


It follows the tune to it in the chorus, but its a dance/party type of song


Part of the lyrics (i think)

La la la la la la, la la la la la la
Now its time to dance the night away
La la la la la la, la la la la la la
Enjoy your life and... (somethin somethin somthin...)

(sing it with the tune from the chorus of the original Tnose were the Days)

I'm going to paste this because the link isn't working properly. Hopefully something sparks your memory.

"Those Were the Days" is a song credited to Gene Raskin, who put English lyrics to the Russian song Дорогой длинною ("Dorogoi dlinnoyu"), written by Boris Fomin (1900-1948) with words by the poet Konstantin Podrevskii [1]. It deals with reminiscence upon youth and romantic idealism.

The song was popularized in the early 1960s by The Limelighters, but the best known recording is by Welsh singer Mary Hopkin, released on August 30, 1968. Hopkin's recording was produced by Paul McCartney (catalogue number "APPLE 2"). Despite competition from Sandie Shaw, who released the same song as a single, Hopkin's version became a #1 hit in the UK singles chart, and reached #2 in the US.

The UK and the USA had the B-side, "Turn! Turn! Turn!",which was written by Pete Seeger (but largely taken from the book of Ecclesiastes), which had been a U.S. #1 hit for The Byrds.

The catalogue number "APPLE 2" of "Those Were the Days" was in fact the lowest catalogue number that Apple Records would use on a single release. The "APPLE 1" designation had been intended for the Beatles single "Hey Jude"; however, the Beatles remained under EMI contractual terms at the time, and although the "Hey Jude" single had an Apple label it was released as "R 5722" in line with the Parlophone numbering scheme.

In 2005, Dolly Parton released a cover of "Those Were the Days", which featured backing vocals by Mary Hopkin.


1992, Leningrad Cowboys covered Those Were the Days on their album "We Cum From Brooklyn".

In 1994, Cara Jones covered Those Were the Days on her debut album Different Skies.

In 1994, Ground Zero (band) covered Those Were the Days on their album Plays Standards.

In 2001, Turisas covered Those Were the Days on his debut album The Heart of Turisas.

In 2004, Dayna Kurtz covered Those Were the Days on her album Beautiful Yesterday.

In 2005, Dolly Parton covered Those Were the Days. Parton's recording featured guest vocals by Hopkin.

In 2006, "Il Folklorista" covered Those Were the Days. "Il Folklorista" is a project by Gigi D'Agostino & Luca Noise.

The melody of the song is instantly recognizable to tens of millions of Brazilians, although most of them are probably wholly unaware of its origins or original lyrics and title; it was used for years by Brazilian TV host Silvio Santos in his Show de Calouros, a Gong Show-like talent show, with the lyrics changed to introduce the judges and host of the show.

The Simpsons also did a parody version of it based on (at the time) current TV shows, and some past references to other things of cultural significance, as an introduction to the episode Lisa's Sax. Immediately proceeding the song was the reference to the blurb "All in the Family was filmed in front of a studio audience", where 'All in the Family' was replaced with 'The Simpsons'.
