Well, there were the killing fields of the Vietnam War, and John F. Kennedy and Martin Luther King and Robert Kennedy were assassinated... but in between those events, there was the beautiful music, the wild days and nights, and the magic of growing up and breath-taking explorations and wondering what we would be when we grew up. I'm still wondering and hoping, even though I now have strong suspicions that I will never get there... Ahhhh, but still those were the days...

And here we are, with our memories and whatever life is left before us. This song is probably the best definition of 'bittersweet' ever written.] God, I miss her.

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... 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... 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...

I first heard Mary Hopkin sing this song while eavesdropping on foreign radio broadcasts in rural China near Hong Kong in 1968. At that time, radio stations in Hong Kong often broadcast this song. Although I don't know her name, and I don't understand the content of the English lyrics, I just feel that her singing voice and the melody of the music are enthusiastic and unrestrained, which always be engraved in my memory and let me yearn for a free life even more. After coming to the free world for decades, until I retired, I finally heard Mary Hopkin sing this song again on KZbin. also known this song originate from Russian folk song. After listening to the singing and band performances of singers from various countries, I always feel that Mary Hopkin's singing is the most touching! 最初聽到 Mary Hopkin 唱這首歌是1968年在靠近香港的中國農村,偷聽國外的無線電廣播。當時香港的廣播電台經常播送這首歌。雖然我不知道她的名字,也不懂英文歌詞的內容,只感覺她的歌聲和音樂的旋律熱情奔放,永遠刻在我的記憶裡,讓我更嚮往自由的生活。 來到了自由世界幾十年,直到退休之後,終於在KZbin 再聽到Mary Hopkin 唱這首歌。也知道它源自俄羅斯的民歌。聆聽過各國歌星的演唱和樂隊演奏,總覺得Mary Hopkin 唱得最動人心坎!

Does anyone know that this is an old Russian romance? The romance "Dear Long" was written in 1924 by Boris Fomin (music) and Konstantin Podrevsky (lyrics). There is also a version of the text by Pavel Herman. The earliest recordings of this song were made by Tamara Tsereteli (1925) and Alexander Vertinsky (1926). The original text of the romance reads: We rode on a troika with bells, And the lights flickered in the distance. Oh, when would I now follow you, The soul would be dispelled from longing!

The best thing about youth is believing dreams can come true. Suddenly you're in your fifties and you realise you don't have dreams anymore. Life has taken you places you'd never thought you'd find yourself in and you can't find your way out.

Hi I am apparently older than you. True BUT there are only two options: live your life or get-out. I don't recommend the latter, it is somewhat final and one would never see a Spring day again. So one must say "sod it" and make the very best of all the remaining time - why not? Do your best to have a good life from here and very good luck to you.

Personally I have found my fifties to be a highly interesting decade. I have been in hospital four times, twice of which I have been given the last rites. Live the life given you by God. Most of my school friends are dead due to their disabilities including one who suffocated to death at the age of eight years old under her bed clothes because she was to weak to remove the blankets. One friend who died aged sixteen, another at the age of seventeen. I am going to be sixty next month and the doctors said I would be dead before I was thirty years old. If you get to be eighty you will think being sixty is young. I had a friend who thought my father was young when my father became seventy. Do not waste your life. Do good to others, try to heal any resentments you may have. Lovingly obey God and serve others and you will not have wasted your life.

This song takes me to half a century ago to "those days" that I was a little happy boy ... I LOVE Mary Hopkin's voice. She literally and figuratively is a golden girl. ❤

Percy, according to Wiki the first release of the song was in 1924. The lyric was written by Eugene Raskin (It's a Jewish name) and the tune by Boris Fomin. So you can't say it's a Russian folk song :) stylized like a Russian folk song
