It Was a Very Good Year
Ervin Drake
When I was seventeen, it was a very good year
It was a very good year for small town girls
And soft summer nights
We'd hide from the lights
On the village green
When I was seventeen
When I was twenty-one, it was a very good year
It was a very good year for city girls
Who lived up the stairs
With all that perfumed hair
And it came undone
When I was twenty-one
When I was thirty-five, it was a very good year
It was a very good year for blue-blooded girls
Of independent means
We'd ride in limousines
Their chauffeurs would drive
When I was thirty-five
But now the days are short, I'm in the autumn of my years
And I think of my life as vintage wine
From fine old kegs
From the brim to the dregs
It poured sweet and clear
It was a very good year
When I was seventeen, it was a very good year
Cuando tenía diecisiete, fue un muy buen año
It was a very good year for small town girls
Fue un muy buen año para las chicas de pequeños pueblos
And soft summer nights
Y suaves noches de verano
We'd hide from the lights
Nos escondíamos de las luces
On the village green
En el césped del pueblo
When I was seventeen
Cuando tenía diecisiete
When I was twenty-one, it was a very good year
Cuando tenía veintiuno, fue un muy buen año
It was a very good year for city girls
Fue un muy buen año para las chicas de la ciudad
Who lived up the stairs
Que vivían en los pisos superiores
With all that perfumed hair
Con todo ese cabello perfumado
And it came undone
Y se deshacía
When I was twenty-one
Cuando tenía veintiuno
When I was thirty-five, it was a very good year
Cuando tenía treinta y cinco, fue un muy buen año
It was a very good year for blue-blooded girls
Fue un muy buen año para las chicas de sangre azul
Of independent means

But now the days are short, I'm in the autumn of my years
Pero ahora los días son cortos, estoy en el otoño de mis años
And I think of my life as vintage wine
Y pienso en mi vida como vino añejo
