Those indeed were the days.... still coming back for this song time by time

[@utdfortreble]

I have no idea how but my friend discovered this and played it at a party yesterday. I've never seen people going nuts as much from a song that nobody had ever heard of before as they did yesterday.

[@otafuku16]

Once upon a time there was a tavern Where we used to raise a glass or two Remember how we laughed away the hours Think 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 ra ra ra la la La ra ra ra la la La ra ra ra la ra ra ra ra ra 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 ra ra ra 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 ra ra ra 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 ra ra ra la la...

[@vintage1962]

credited to Gene Raskin, who put English lyrics to the Russian gypsy song "Dorogoi dlinnoyu" ("Дорогой длинною", lit. "By the long road"), written by Boris Fomin (1900-1948) with words by the poet Konstantin Podrevskii. It deals with reminiscence upon youth and romantic idealism. The first known recording of the song was by Alexander Vertinsky in the 1920s. The song is best remembered for Mary Hopkin's 1968 recording, which was a top-ten hit in both the U.S. and the U.K.

@Murkula86 The musical quotation refers to the "At the Manchzuria Hills" item. The song was originally composed by Ilya Shatrov in 1906 and dedicated to his war friends fallen at the Russo-Japan War of 1905. Shatrov was the conductor of the military band and happened to be surrounded by the enemy with other troops. As the story goes, he made his band play to initiate the counter attack. Him and six more soldiers managed to break through.
