Lyrics
Viene a mis recuerdos la taberna
y los compañeros del ayer,
donde fuimos juntos tan felices
hablando del futuro por hacer.
Que tiempo tan feliz que nunca olvidare
Y la cancion alegre del ayer.
Por nuestra juventud y llenos de inquietud
tuvimos fe y deseos de vencer.
Dararara rarai dararara rarai...
Pero encadenados a la vida
pudimos conocer la realidad.
A veces nos veiamos de nuevo,
volviendo con nostalgia a recordar.
Que tiempo tan feliz que nunca olvidare
Y la cancion alegre del ayer.
Por nuestra juventud y llenos de inquietud
tuvimos fe deseos y de vencer.
Dararara rarai dararara rarai...
Hoy pase otra vez por la taberna
nada parecia como ayer.
Vi un reflejo extraño en los cristales,
mi cara no logre reconocer.
Que tiempo tan feliz que nunca olvidare
Y la cancion alegre del ayer.
Por nuestra juventud y llenos de inquietud
tuvimos fe deseos y de vencer.
Dararara rarai dararara rarai...
Escuche una risa conocida,
alguien me llamaba y eras tu
nuestros corazones no olvidaron
los sueños de la alegre juventud.
Que tiempo tan feliz que nunca olvidare
Y la cancion alegre del ayer.
Por nuestra juventud y llenos de inquietud
tuvimos fe deseos de vencer.
Dararara rarai dararara rarai...
