Henna the Drunkard
Back in the day,
there used to be a little shop in the shade,
and we, boys and girls,
would come and play by the water
Don't you ever forget me
Don't you ever forget me
And remember Hanna the drunkard
We and the birds
used to run around the neighborhood,
flying towards the little shop,
carrying flowers
And Hanna the drunkard
would be on the walls, distracted
and drawing the girl next door
The beauty in the neighbors' house
was gone on a joyous night,
and the shop was torn down,
and a new house was built
And yet Hanna the drunkard remains
perched atop the walls of oblivion
drawing the girl next door

It's not really possible to improve on the great previous translation by @larosa, but I wanted to align it with the updated text and to present a slightly different version. https://lyricstranslate.com/en/Kaan-az-zaman-These-were-days.html
