Those Were the Days es una canción atribuida a Gene Raskin , quien puso una nueva letra en inglés a la canción romántica rusa compuesta por Boris Fomin con palabras del poeta Konstantin Podrevsky . Se trata de la reminiscencia de la juventud y el idealismo romántico.

El sencillo debut de Mary Hopkin en 1968 de "Those Were the Days", que fue producido por Paul McCartney de los Beatles , se convirtió en un éxito número uno en las listas de singles del Reino Unido y en las listas canadienses de la revista RPM . La canción también alcanzó el número dos en el Billboard Hot 100 , detrás de " Hey Jude " de los Beatles. Fue número uno en la primera edición de la lista de ventas de singles extranjeros lanzada por el Centre d'Information et de Documentation du Disque.

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 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 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
