Best singer and artist ever it's been years since i started enjoying his work ❤ greetings from tunisia

[@bernhardinemuller7173]

Was kann die Musik dafür das es so einen Grössenwahn gibt! Ein schönes Lied ....vorgetragen von einem wunderbaren Sänger🎼❗👍

[@RezkoV]

так мило слушать в исполнении Хельмута Лотти. Мне понравилось исполнение больше всех остальных русских певцов. Обычно стараются петь басов да пожирнее, со всей мощью феодализма, чтобы аж крепостное право чувствовал кожей. А Лотти поет тенором так задорно по-простецки как простой крестьянский паренек полный жизни и надежд

[@juliereminiec4937]

Helmut Lotti admitted that he sang the Russian Lyrics phoenetically ,since he doesn't know the language ( From Russia With Love dvd)

[@sakhersboul8842]

Ехали на тройке с бубенцами, А вдали мелькали огоньки. Эх, когда бы мне теперь за вами, Душу бы развеять от тоски! Припев: Дорогой длинною, да ночкой лунною, Да с песней той, что в даль летит, звеня, Да со старинною, да семиструнною, Что по ночам так мучила меня. Да, выходит, пели мы задаром. Понапрасну ночь за ночью жгли. Если мы покончили со старым, Так и ночи эти отошли! Припев. В даль иную - новыми путями - Ехать нам судьбою суждено! Ехали на тройке с бубенцами, Да теперь проехали давно.

[@friend256]

Landscape construction and arrangement is great . Singers sing the song, I like to listen to most songs helmut Lotti . He sings very well. Good

[@CarlDuke]

Yes this is a Russian Jewish song composed by Boris Fomin about 1920. Eugene Raskin a Columbia professor and part time folks singer, said that as a small boy his mother would sing him this song, and years later he, as you note, gave it English lyrics and it became a hit for Mary Hopkin.

[@rotkehlche6114]

Ich finde ihn einfach wunderbar😍😍😍😍😍

[@nessuno1948]

It comes as a surprise to me also! The russian original is charming and Lotti, of course as always the best.

[@friend256]

He sing this song very well. I like this russian version. Thanks you for posting.

[@BytomGirl]

It's not a Russian version, it's a Russian original, everything else is a cover of the Russian traditional song.

[@bnkundwa]

[@marcostar57]

Sharing & enjoying traditional songs & culture and thus relating to our comman humanity is what President Kennedy had in mind when he said of the people of the (former) Soviet Union in 1963 "For, in the final analysis, our most basic common link is that we all inhabit this small planet. We all breathe the same air. We all cherish our children's future. And we are all mortal."

By the Long Road You rode on a troika with sleigh bells, And in the distance lights flickered.. If only I could follow you now I would dispel the grief in my soul! By the long road, in the moon light, And with this song that flies off, ringing, And with this ancient, this ancient seven-string, That has so tormented me by night.

[@Marbas71]

piękna pieśń i ładnie brzmi w wersji rosyjskojęzycznej

[@vincentfisson4952]

Ein "lauschiger" Abend.

[@Elvra99]

@mauquiroz We rode on a troika with bells, A lights flashing in the distance ... Ah, how i would like to follow you, To deprive my soul from the boredom Chorus By the long road,by the moon night With the song,which flies away ringing With that ancient and seven-stringed which at nights so tormented me But it turns out we were singing for nothing, Needlessly burning night after night. If we did away with everything old, So these nights also moved away Chorus

[@zshemron]

Can't believe the original song is Russian. Reminds me of "if your ears are open, shut your eyes ". One more language to add to my meager tongues... too slow to catch my beloved HL :))

So ist die Kultur, meine russischen Freunde. Da. Gut.

[@airmanchairman]

There are so many Slavic-language songs "ripped" from the other side of the Iron Curtain during the Cold War - this is one; another is "Lutshje Bulo" turned into "Yes, my Darling Daughter" with English lyrics written by Jack Lawrence and performed by many Western artists including the Andrew's Sisters, Glenn Miller and Sandie Shaw; and of course there is Acker Bilk's "Midnight in Moscow" which is actually the Russian folk song "Podmoskovnye Vechera" (evenings around Moscow).

[@bellacolomba09]

bella!

[@TabithaReminiec3399]

Does anyon ed know if a site that sells the Russian folk costumes ? I'd love to own the red & pink ones

[@AgnesSas4900102]

Szuper!

[@michaelpalmer7599]

No, entirely different. The title in Russian is "The Long Road" and it's about a soldier who is far away from his lover, nd says he knows that if she were with him, the nights wouldn't be so cold.

[@Sobieski_IV_Emperor_Gods_mercy]

Jetzt weine ich wieder, wegen der Frau, die ich liebe.

[@leonardoamaral8730]

Sensacional

[@marike99]

it's an old russian song written by Boris Fomin and Konstantin Podrevsky the song is about their past youth (long road, troikas, guitar, long nights) for the history of this song with original russian reccordings just search in KZbin: Dorogoy dlinnoyu BEFORE Those were the days

[@etelkatibaut9311]

Helmut lotti singt auf 15 verschiedene Sprachen, Ungarisch ist leider nicht dabei. Ich wünsche mir von ihn Ungarische Lied zu hören❤

[@wilczawola]

my grandmama was Russian , i know this song very well : he sings without passion and SOUL .... and soul is the most important thing in RUSSIAN music , so ..think what YOU WANT ...Greetings

[@qegvW3H]

nice man yeah!

[@omegazlatic67]

super song super vois

[@richpat]

to Uusikaarlepyy The melody is Russian, but the song was not translated, an American Gene Raskin wrote the lyrics for the song "Those were the days" this is not a translation from the Russian song "Dorogoy dlinnoyu" which means "By a long road" or "along a long road" The song in Russian Дорогой длинною, was written by Boris Fomin in the early 1900's with words by the poet Konstantin Podrevskii. Mary Hopkin had the biggest and best known hit with this song. maryhopkindotnet

[@richpat]

@Freyja1133 This song? Do you mean "Dorogoy dlinnoyu" Дорогой длинною or "Those were the days" Sheet music for "Days..." is easily available on e-bay or other various music sites as for "Dorogoy dlinnoyu" type in the title in a search engine and the best of luck there are many 'versions' out there.

[@marike99]

Les représentants de Mary Hopkin (voir le commentaire de richpat) ont très peur de reconnaître qu'il s'agit de la même chanson. Alors qu'en comparant les deux chansons tout le monde constate que "Those were the days" n'est qu'UNE VERSION anglo-américaine de "Dorogoy dlinnoyu".

[@bnkundwa]

I thank him for visiting Burundi.

[@kakkaballe2467]

Those Where The days

[@richpat]

@Freyja1133 If you are looking for the Boris Fomin / Konstantin Podrevskii song "Dorogoy dlinnoyu" Дорогой длинною sheet music, I wish you luck I have been looking for it for many years. If you are looking for the Raskin sheet music for the song "Those were the days" then it is easily available from ebay or other on line outlets. As for gypsy music I have no idea.

[@user-bp6dq9yw2f]

English Lyrics translated from Russian ; They rode in a troika with bells, And lights flickered in the distance. Eh, how would I now follow you, Soul to dispel from longing. Dear long, but moonlit night, Yes, with that song that flies into the distance, ringing, Yes, with that old, but seven-string, That tormented me so at night. Yes, with that old, but seven-string, That tormented me so at night. Yes, it turns out, we sang for nothing, We burned in vain night after night. If you are done with the old, these nights are gone. Dear long, but moonlit night, Yes, with that song that flies into the distance, ringing, Yes, with that old, but seven-string, That tormented me so at night. (2) From now on, we are destined to go to our homeland in new ways. We rode in a troika with bells, And now we arrived a long time ago. Dear long, but moonlit night, Yes, with that song that flies into the distance, ringing, Yes, with that old, but seven-string, That tormented me so at night. Yes, with that old, but seven-string, That tormented me so at night. Yes, with that old, but seven-string, That tormented me so at night.

[@bnkundwa]

I like this Russian classic.

[@mikeimpuls]

I didnt know this was the original version!! thanks for sharing... I prefere the spanish version though LOL and the english one sounds cool LOL

[@gvbrandolini]

Interessante

[@juliereminiec4937]

Does anyone know where I can buy the red costume ( minus the head dress) that is worn this video clip by one of the dancers?

[@malizlato]

@AnnukkaI Search under the "Dorogoi dlinnoyu"

[@juliereminiec4937]

Why not change the title of the video to By the long road?

[@richpat]

He isn't singing the song "those were the days" he is singing a song called "Dorogoy dlinnoyu" 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 only from the song "Dorogoy dlinnoyu" Дорогой длинною ("By a long road" or "along a long road") which was written by the Russian song writer Boris Fomin with words by the poet Konstantin Podrevskii Pat maryhopkinDOTnet
