You should see the expressions
on your faces.

00:00:14.271 --> 00:00:16.487
You haven't understood
a word I've said.

00:00:16.487 --> 00:00:18.003
But don't worry about it.

00:00:18.003 --> 00:00:19.351
Very few people do.

00:00:19.351 --> 00:00:21.619
I was speaking my language:
Welsh, because

00:00:21.619 --> 00:00:23.485
I was introducing a Welsh girl.

00:00:23.485 --> 00:00:25.002
A girl who went to number one

00:00:25.002 --> 00:00:27.386
all over the world, with
her first record.

00:00:27.386 --> 00:00:28.537
What I said was,

00:00:28.537 --> 00:00:29.935
"Here is a lovely girl:

00:00:29.935 --> 00:00:32.020
a young singer from the land of song,

00:00:32.020 --> 00:00:33.602
and her name

00:00:33.602 --> 00:00:35.004
is Mary Hopkin."

00:00:55.453 --> 00:00:57.602
Once upon a time,

00:00:57.602 --> 00:01:01.035
there was a tavern,

00:01:01.035 --> 00:01:06.618
where we used to raise
a glass or two.

00:01:06.618 --> 00:01:12.202
Remember how 
we laughed away the hours.

00:01:12.202 --> 00:01:19.019
Think of all 
the great things we would do.

00:01:19.019 --> 00:01:19.803
Those

00:01:19.803 --> 00:01:20.785
were

00:01:20.785 --> 00:01:21.670
the

00:01:21.670 --> 00:01:23.456
days, my friend.

00:01:23.456 --> 00:01:26.320
We thought they'd never end.

00:01:26.320 --> 00:01:28.452
We'd sing and dance

00:01:28.452 --> 00:01:32.038
forever and a day.

00:01:32.038 --> 00:01:34.819
We'd live the life we choose,

00:01:34.819 --> 00:01:37.687
we'd fight and never lose,

00:01:37.687 --> 00:01:39.871

00:01:39.871 --> 00:01:43.652

00:01:59.119 --> 00:02:00.319
Just tonight,

00:02:00.319 --> 00:02:04.520
I stood before the tavern.

00:02:04.520 --> 00:02:06.621
Nothing seemed the way

00:02:06.621 --> 00:02:10.039
it used to be.

00:02:10.039 --> 00:02:12.305
In the glass, I saw

00:02:12.305 --> 00:02:15.669
a strange reflection.

00:02:15.669 --> 00:02:18.286
Was that lonely woman

00:02:18.286 --> 00:02:22.904
really me?
