- I think this song belongs to the best songs of the sixties!
"Those Were The Days" is a very nostalgic song for me personally.
I think about good old times, thats why I really like to listen to this.
So, if you like to think about old times, tune in! ;)
Have fun and enjoy!
Lyrics:
Once upon a time there was a tavern
Where we used to raise a glass or two.
Remember how we laughed away the hours
And thinking of all the great things we would do.
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 la la,
La la la la la la,
La la la la la la la la la la.
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
Those were the days, oh yes, those were the days.
La la la la la la,
La la la la la la,
La la la la la la la la la la.
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
Those were the days, oh yes, those were the days.
La la la la la la,
La la la la la la,
La la la la la la la la la la.
La la la la la la,
La la la la la la,
La la la la la la la la la la.
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
Those were the days, oh yes, those were the days.
La la la la la la,
La la la la la la,
La la la la la la la la la la.
La la la la la la,
La la la la la la,
La la la la la la la la la la.
"Those Were the Days" is a song credited to Gene Raskin, who put a new English lyric to the Russian romance song "Dorogoi dlinnoyu" ("Дорогой длинною", literally "By the long road"), composed by Boris Fomin (1900-1948) with words by the poet Konstantin Podrevsky. It deals with reminiscence upon youth and romantic idealism.
Mary Hopkin's 1968 debut single of "Those Were the Days" (producer, Paul McCartney) became a number one hit on the UK Singles Chart. The song also reached number two on the Billboard Hot 100, behind "Hey Jude" by McCartney's band The Beatles. It was number one in the very first edition of the foreign singles sales chart launched by the Centre d'Information et de Documentation du Disque.
Georgian singer Tamara Tsereteli (1900-1968) and Russian singer Alexander Vertinsky made what were probably the earliest recordings of the song, in 1925 and in 1926 respectively.
The song appears in the 1953 British/French movie Innocents in Paris, in which it was sung with its original Russian lyrics by the Russian Tzigane chanteuse Ludmila Lopato. Mary Hopkin's 1968 recording of it with Gene Raskin's lyric was a chart-topping hit in much of the Northern Hemisphere. On most recordings of the song, Raskin is credited as the sole writer, even though he wrote only the later English lyrics (which are not an English translation of the Russian lyrics) and not the music.

This song is so beautiful...
I hate to say that I first heard this after my wife of 63 years passed . I’m 90 now and I reflect back . Thank you and all of the people who gave their remembrances 🎶💕🇺🇸
God bless you!
Thank you folks again for your likes 🇺🇸💕
I guess I was melancholy before my time; I was deeply moved by this song in 1968 when I was a young man of but 27, now it’s as if that was yesterday.
I graduated from high school the year this came out. Very upbeat and easy to dance 💃 with. Mary is good on the guitar 🎸. Very talented. Fun tune. 😅
Very cool!
I am a teen, and my dad showed this to me. It reminds me of a good friend!
Tekst polski do tej piosenki jest równie piękny
Nie wiesz nawet ile ci zawdzięczam
Byłam sama jak ty byłeś sam
Nie umiałabym odszukać szczęścia
A ty sprawiłeś że smak jego znam
To były piękne dni
Po prostu piękne dni
Nie zna już dziś kalendarz takich dat
Wtedy uczyłeś mnie
Wymawiać imię swe
Wtedy rzuciłeś dla mnie cały świat
La la la
To były dni
Niezapomniane dni
Uczuć teraz czas już nie odmierza
Miłość nie trwa tak jak dawniej wiek
Kilku dniom swe szczęście się powierza
One mogą nadać życiu sens
To były piękne dni
Po prostu piękne dni
Jeśli jeszcze kiedyś się spotkamy
Może w moich oczach będą łzy
Bo nie łatwo żyć jest wspomnieniami
Słowem „ja" zastąpić słowo „my"
To były piękne dni
Po prostu piękne dni
A beautiful Welsh singer singing a Russian tune

Fantastic song!! Love to hear it again and again.This is the magic of this song
Beautiful song....
Mary Hopkin has such a beautiful voice. And this is such a beautiful song!
i remember hearing this song 50 years ago, and feeling sad by its haunting beauty
As a Lebanese listening to this very beautiful song, it reminds me of my youth when Lebanon was prosperous. Yes those were the days my friend we thought they will never end...Sadly no more !!
Sundsvall - Sweden
At that time Lebanon is Switzerland of Middle East.
Conspiracy of uncivilized nation and people,,,I pray to God that Lebanon will surely come back soon,,flowers will bloom again,spring is coming ,,,love from India
Thank you!!! Such a beautiful song. This is a Russian folk song Dorogoi Dlinoi. When I was in Russa, it was everywhere. Reminds me all those days!
When it was first released, I had no interest -- I was into Cream and Traffic, etc. Now I send the song to my kids. It is priceless.
Excellent song for me
Bella melodía que cuándo la escucho vienen mis mejores recuerdos de mi infancia la mejor etapa de mi vida
Always.she.has.givging.us.with.Dream.and.HOOP.
One of the best I ever heard. I plan to sing this song on the graduate eve.
The great Paul McCartney produced this song

I wonder why a full sixty minutes had been spent on the one song (albeit a very good one). I may suggest the programme Mary at the Beep.
If anybody needs the lyrics they're in the DESC!

So someone sent me this song, but I've never heard it before and can't decifer it's meaning. The person is someone I was once engaged to who 8 years later, we still love each other, though he has moved on. Can someone help me out on why he might have sent this song and what it portrays? Thank youc🙏💗
If I were him sending this to you, with those shared experiences it would be to let you know how treasured those days were and still are. There’s an element of regret in such an act, in reminding another of a passage of time in this manner. There’s also the question, do you share this still, since now, there are only memories left, everything else has changed. The lyrics say my friend but more is implied, to say my friend is perhaps to understate the manner of things all these years later.
@David Wright Thank you for giving me this perspective, I really appreciate it. What you said makes sense for my situation, and I can better understand why this person sent me this song and where he might have been coming from. Because of the depth of what we still feel for each other, we could never be just friends. Sometimes, it's like that with deeper soul connections, such as ours. It's something I've made peace with. Thanks again for taking the time to offer up an interpretation. 🫶

THOSE WERE THE DAYS! WE LOVE YOU POTUS TRUMP! GOD BLESS YOU!
A RECKONING IS COMING IN 2024!
MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!
kiSSmeGoodbYe
You are insane
You upload one song for one hour and you think that is clever and ask for money too?
Да на русском она не так красиво звучит
НИЧО СЕБЕ ДЕВУШКИ .
В УЭЛЬСЕ !
ДА , ДАВНО ЭТО БЫЛО .
СТРАШНО ДАЛЕКИ БЫЛИ
ОНИ ОТ НАРОДА . НО ОНИ
РАЗБУДИЛИ ГЕРЦЕНА .
... И ПОНЕСЛАСЬ !
One moment that i have for i earned all my days of wines and flowers are shoulders that broad that is why i ' m tough hurray 🌑🖤🟡💞🍓💯
