If you knew Russian people you would know that their romantic souls are also part of their everyday life. Their values are totally different from the people in Western countries.
Когда я слушаю русскую музыку, народную, у меня мурашки, слезы-от гордости за свою Россию, ее великих людей, ее искусство. Нашу музыку, песни любят во всем мире, поют их. Искусство объединяет народы.
I cannot understand Russian, but that voice and beat just drives me. Those where the days my friend :) thank you for this beautiful orchestra & voice piece. Wow ! :)
Мне очень нравится, что свой вариант песни на эту мелодию есть во многих странах мира. она объединила много культур и поколений. Это очень воодушевляет, ведь это значит, что того, что объединяет нас, намного больше, чем кажется ❤🔥
I remember listening to the Mary Hopkin version back in the late '60's. When I found out the original version was Russian in origin, my curiosity was piqued. Thank you for posting this.
This song is classic and unforgettable. It is of Russian origin. It reminds us of our loved ones that they are no longer with us. Мы всегда будем помнить их
Here is an older one. The above song to me sounded like the arrangement of the Mary Hopkin hit, but listen to this. It's a much older song than the Apple recording. ruclips.net/video/bMly5NzZ5Ek/видео.html
I have gotten into many fights with American youth for singing her praises instead of glorifying some poshlaya harlot whose act is mostly thrusting its backside about in a skimpy costume while pretending to sing.
@@ingenerchik That's not true. Sir Paul was born in 1942, the original song "By the long road"'s first recordings took place in 1925. The original compose was made by the Soviets. ruclips.net/video/mMaz70bOd7w/видео.html
I don't speak Russian but I know this song. This is much more powerful. So sad the politicians seperate us all. I love Russian culture. Damn, now I'm going to be on some FBI/CIA watch list!
I hope you will not be on the FSB watsh list. Compared to this bloody organization, the FBI and CIA will seem like fluffy cats to you. And Russian culture is great. Part of the world.
And very beautiful too. I suspect that Russians do nostalgia very well. I spent my family years in Portugal and they have a word 'saudade' which covers a nostalgic longing for what you are missing whether in time or in space. Thank you for expressing so beautifully what we feel.
This song carries such Power of Life, Strong meaning of Remembrance, Sung with a Woman's Beautiful, Powerful Voice. And the Musicians Carried the Depth of Meaning the top. Loved it Thank you❤
Star+ is currently working on a TV show about the life of Brazilian businessman and TV star Silvio Santos (whom this song is heavily associated to). It'd be wonderful to have it (or Mary Hopkin version) on its soundtrack!
Boris Ivanovich Fomin (Борис Иванович Фомин, 12 April 1900, Saint Petersburg, Russian Empire, - 25 October 1948, Moscow, USSR) was a Soviet musician and composer who specialized in the Russian romance. Several of Fomin's songs became popular in 1920s, most notably "Dorogoi dlinnoyu" (Russian: Дорогой длинною, By Endless Road), commonly known for its English version "Those Were the Days", made world-famous in 1968 by Mary Hopkin and credited to Eugene Raskin who in 1962 wrote the English lyrics for the tune and claimed the song for his own. It was composed by Boris Fomin in 1924, first interpreted and recorded by Tamara Tsereteli (1925) and Alexander Vertinsky (1926); it was the latter who popularized it abroad.[1][2][3]
Significant in any language. Beautiful voice too like Mary Hopkin..we all get older and no matter what our lives are currently like we look back and think those were the days
More importantly, they tend to be zadushvniye with music. No need for skimpy costumes and dancing better suited for strippers. I tend to react to American pop stars most fastidiously. That means brezglivo.
What a fantastic performance. I came here on the strength of the English version and I'm so glad it brought me here. Wonderful arrangement and such a tremendous vocal.
I did not know this was Russian song. Always associated it with Mary Hopkins. A wonderful song. A song you can only appreciate when you are older really.
She has an amazing voice, and for a live performer, even more important than that she knows how to move around and look happy and relaxed as she is singing, so that it is entertainment, rather than just good singing. Amazing Lady.
I guessed the melody is close to Russian culture but never able to figure out exactly about the composer Thank you for sharing the music The melody is so wonderful that can match to any language and lyrics

Here's a translation: "By the long road, we rode in a troika with jingling bells, And in the distance flickered lights... Oh, if only now I could follow you, To ease my soul of its sadness! By the long road, in moonlit weather, With that song that rings out into the distance, With the old and the seven-stringed, That tormented me so at night. It seems we sang for nothing, Burning night after night in vain. If we're finished with the old, Then those nights have passed! From now on, we must travel Towards our native lands by new paths! ...We rode in a troika with jingling bells, But now that's long gone!"
ChatGPT further explains: «This is a Russian song called "Dorogoi Dlinnoyu" (By the long road). On a long road, they rode in a troika with bells ringing, and in the distance, lights flickered. The singer longs to be with someone and have their soul lifted from sadness. They reminisce about singing with this person, with the moon shining and a song that echoes into the distance. They realize that they sang and burned through nights in vain, and now that they've moved on, those nights have passed. They look forward to traveling new paths to their homeland, but the troika ride with bells was long ago.»

dont need a SONG for that!
which ones the ones stalin had murdered or lenin? and both proven wrong as the systew fades away
@@nobonespurs Why bring stalin&lenin into this? How about remembering those who died peacefully in their beds?
This song is amazing, so close to the soul. Russian and English variant, both are amazing. This singer is absolutely amazing.
in the English version the lyric has not sense at all if to compare with the Original Russian text
@@xenjalavanda9396 nonsense. The original version by Sir Paul MakKartni is absolutely stunning
Excellent both singer and orchestra! Hurrah for Slovenia and for the Russian composers of music and words!
Has NOTHING to do with Slovenia. This is originall RUSSIAN song from 1920s/30s !!

Yes , this is the original song. FROM RUSSIA. Not from England, and not even from the United States. FROM RUSSIA.
From Soviet Union*
This song is Russian, but give Paul McCartney credit for realizing how great this song is....
@@kkroeger5868 Of course, I agree with you that this song was sung by other singers, that sing it very well in English. Specially Mary Hopkins.
The truth of course is that it was originally composed by Sir Paul but then stolen and Russified by the Soviets in the 50s.
