Bisayan lyrics for “Those Were the Days my Friend.”
Hapdus handomon ang kagahapon
Tang mga pangando'ng nawagtang
Tubod sa kalimot ang mga luha
Nga naghugas ning kalag nga samaran.
Di ko hikalimtan, Atong kaghapaon
Sa paningkamot bug-os nagantos,
Atong gui-ampingan, Pangandoy'ng matuman,
Bisan ug damgo lang ang madangtan.
Tra la la la la la, la la la la la la, etc.
(2)
Tugob sa pagla-om king handurawan
Nga nagdasig sa damgo'ng guihidlaw
Sa pagamoma nga makapukaw
Ug mithing banag banag nga tuman.
Di ko hikalimtan, Atong kaghapaon
Sa paningkamot bug-os nagantos,
Atong gui-ampingan, Pangandoy'ng matuman,
Bisan ug damgo lang ang madangtan.
Tra la la la la la, la la la la la la, etc.
(3)
Kining baraha sa kapalaran,
Walay tupong and kapintas
Walay bili nga guiti-aw ti-awan,
Ang pakigbisog dili mokupas.
Di ko hikalimtan, Atong kaghapaon
Sa paningkamot bug-os nagantos,
Atong gui-ampingan, Pangandoy'ng matuman,
Bisan ug damgo lang ang madangtan.
Tra la la la la la, la la la la la la, etc.
Di ko hikalimtan, Atong kaghapaon
Sa paningkamot bug-os nagantos,
Atong gui-ampingan, Pangandoy'ng matuman,
Bisan ug damgo lang ang madangtan.
Tra la la la la la, la la la la la la, etc.

Revised version has been posted elsewhere
I revised it some and posted it in both Facebook and one of my personal blogsite as follows:
Below is my original Bisayan lyric for the classic Russian folk song dubbed in English as “The Long Road Ahead,” and popularized in the ‘70’s by Mary Hopkins as “Those Were the Days, My Friend.” It has been lyricized in almost every language you can think of. When I could not find one in Bisaya, I decided to write my own.
