The Way We Were
(Barbra Streisand)

Memories light the corners of my mind
Misty water-colored memories of the way we were
Scattered pictures of the smiles we left behind
Smiles we gave to one another for the way we were

Can it be that it was all so simple then
Or has time rewritten every line
If we had the chance to do it all again
Tell me, would we?
Could we?

Memories may be beautiful and yet
What's too painful to remember
We simply choose to forget
So it's the laughter we will remember
Whenever we remember
The way we were
The way we were

By Alan Bergman, Marilyn Bergman, Marvin Hamlisch

Eskiden biz
Explanation:
Şarkı veya film adı çevirisi olarak düşünüldüğünde, "Eskiden Biz" hem aynı hissi veriyor hem de şarkı içinde söylenmek istediğinde uyumlu oluyor.

the way we were
Sen ve ben


Explanation:
İlgisiz görünebilir ama tüm kullanılan yerlere yazılırsa, biraz belirsizlik, eski güzel günlerin şu anda olmayan boşluğu hissi veren fakat aynı derecede şiirsel ve verilen duyguya yakın bir anlam yaratabileceğine inanıyorum.

agree  Özgür Salman: Bu tür şiirsel/edebi çevirilerde kelime anlamlarının epey dışına çıkmak gerekebiliyor. Metindeki her yere uyması açısından gayet güzel bir karşılık bence.
