Back in days of yore,

回首昔日时光，

Life was simple, maybe a little of a bore

生活简单，也许有一点厌倦。

Life was good back then,

那时的生活多么美好，

Way, way back when.

那是很久，很久以前。

Ladies has dresses adorned with lace,

淑女的衣裙镶着蕾丝花边，

And a smile of contentment on their face.

满足的笑容在她们的脸庞浮现。

They has gorgeous hair down to their waist,

她们的秀发垂至腰际，

And exuded poise and a gentle grace.

举止优雅，高贵自然。

They also has a certain charm,

被追求者的臂膀呵护时，

When escorted on their suitor’s arm.

她们的魅力无疑迷人光艳。

When day was almost through,

当白日将尽，

They would have a mint julep or two.

她们会喝一杯薄荷朱利酒，也许两杯。

In those days people talked to one another,

在那些日子里，人们相互交谈，

Instead of always texting each other,

而不是相互发短信，

Back when ladies were ladies,

从前女人是淑女，

And men were men,

男人是儿男，

Back in the days of way back when.

从前的时光，那是很久以前。
