Then the busy years went rushing by us We lost our starry notions on the way If by chance I'd see you in the tavern We'd smile at one another and we'd say Those were the days my friend We thought they'd never end We'd sing and dance forever and a day We'd live the life we choose We'd fight and never lose For we were young and sure to have our way. La la la la... Those were the days, oh yes those were the days Just tonight I stood before the tavern Nothing seemed the way it used to be In the glass I saw a strange reflection Was that lonely woman really me Those were the days my friend We thought they'd never end We'd sing and dance forever and a day We'd live the life we choose We'd fight and never lose For we were young and sure to have our way. La la la la... Those were the days, oh yes those were the days Through the door there came familiar laughter I saw your face and heard you call my name Oh my friend we're older but no wiser For in our hearts the dreams are still the same Those were the days my friend We thought they'd never end We'd sing and dance forever and a day We'd live the life we choose We'd fight and never lose For we were young and sure to have our way. La la la la... Those were the days, oh yes those were the days |

Notes
- An American called Gene Raskin (who sang with the "limelighters" and who recorded it first)
wrote the lyrics for the song "Those were the days" and used the melody from the song "Dorogoy dlinnoyu" ("By a long road" or "along a long road") which was written by Boris Fomin (1900-1948) with words by the poet Konstantin Podrevskii.
- The song was in 1968 a big hit for Mary Hopkin. The lyrics are from Gene Raskin.
Original an old russian song called Dorogoi dlinnoyu. Music by Boris Fomin and lyrics by Konstantin Podrewski. The first knowing recording was in the 1920s. My little cover with one ukulele, one tambourine, clapping hands and several singing tracks. Thank you for watching !
