THE WAY WE WERE
(Bergman/Bergman/Hamlisch)

Well, you ladies out there
You know that I'm, I'm talking 'bout ya
Do you wanna know something?
Did you ever try to remember or
Or just place up a memory in your mind
And it always seems so far away and so hard to find?

Memories
Light the corners of my mind
Misty water-coloured memories
Of the way we were

Scattered pictures
Of the smiles we left behind
Smiles we gave to one another
Oh, yes, we did
For the way we were

Tell me, tell me, tell me, tell me
Could it be that it was all so simple then
Or has time rewritten every line?
And if you had the chance to live your lives again
Tell me
How many of you would live your lives again?
I would too
You, girls?

Memories
May be beautiful and yet, and yet
What's too painful to remember
We simply choose to forget
And so it's the laughter
We choose so to remember
Whenever we remember
Oh, you know we do
The way we were

Ooh, the way we were


TAL COMO ÉRAMOS
(Bergman/Bergman/Hamlisch)

Bien, damas de la sala
Ya saben que me dirijo a ustedes
¿Quieren saber algo?
¿Han intentado alguna vez recordar o
O tan sólo situar un recuerdo en sus mentes
Y siempre parece tan lejano y tan difícil de encontrar?

Recuerdos
Iluminan las esquinas de mi mente
Recuerdos pintados con acuarelas borrosas
De tal como éramos

Imágenes dispersas
De las sonrisas que dejamos atrás
Sonrisas que nos entregamos el uno al otro
Oh, sí, lo hicimos
Por tal como éramos

Dime, dime, dime, dime
¿Podría ser que todo fuera tan sencillo entonces
O es que el tiempo ha reescrito cada frase?
Y si tuvieran la oportunidad de vivir sus vidas de nuevo
Díganme
¿Cuántos de ustedes vivirían sus vidas de nuevo?
Yo también lo haría
¿Vosotras, chicas?

Recuerdos
Pueden ser hermosos y aún así, y aún así
Lo que es demasiado doloroso de recordar
Simplemente decidimos olvidarlo
Y por eso es la risa
Lo que elegimos tanto recordar
Cuando recordamos
Oh, ya sabes que lo hacemos
Tal como éramos

Ooh, tal como éramos
