“Those Were the Days” was released on 30 August 1968. It was Mary Hopkin’s debut single.
It is credited to Gene Raskin, who put English lyrics to the Russian song “Dorogoi dlinnoyu” (“Дорогой длинною”), 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 1920’s.

This is the karaoke video of another of my favorite song. This is the original video of Mary Hopkins singing "Those were the days".
Oh gosh, the lyrics sound so real that I hope many of us can…
