My father used to sing this song. Now he and my mother are both gone I am forgetting my Russian language but when I listen to Russian music I can feel them in my heart. Thank you. I loved this version. Greetings from Australia.
I LOVE You ENDLEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEESS !!! All Bulgarian love The fantastic Russian songs !!! Always with a lot of love and light N.Mirkova and all my big family, and all my friends from Bulgaria
Studying German as my high school foreign language and Russian as my undergrad foreign language enhanced the appreciation I already had for the music of both countries.
Just after I left this comment I've listened to various version, also Gigliola Cinquetti's one, I must say she did a grteat job on this sng=) Thank you!
This is woooonderful! I don't know Russian, but absolutely loved this version! specially 2:03... Nikolay is so hot ;D dances and costumes... all amazing...
to Uusikaarlepyy The melody is Russian, but the song was not translated, an American Gene Raskin wrote the lyrics for the song "Those were the days" this is not a translation from the Russian song "Dorogoy dlinnoyu" which means "By a long road" or "along a long road" The song in Russian Дорогой длинною, was written by Boris Fomin in the early 1900's with words by the poet Konstantin Podrevskii. Mary Hopkin had the biggest and best known hit with this song. maryhopkindotnet
The lyrics to this song were written by an American called Gene Raskin (who sang with the "limelighters" and recorded it first) he used the melody only, it is not a translation from the Russian song "Dorogoi dlinnoyu" "Дорогой длинною" which means "By a long road", which was written by Boris Fomin with words by the poet Konstantin Podrevskii. the words have no similarity whatsoever
I actually like this version. It's not very classical, but is a very good one.I only knew the french and the italian version by Dalida. And I must say I really enjoy this music! =)
This is a great version, I love it... the music is traditional the lyrics for Dorogoi Dlinnoyu are competely different to the 1960's hit by "Mary Hopkin" The English lyrics for this were written by Gene Raskin
This was fantistic! We have this melody in a song called "Those Were the Days". Is it the same in Russian? Thank you somuch for posting this! I love themusic of other cultures but Ithink Russian songs are my favorite!!! God Bless CH
Great performance! Awesome!! Yes, this is a melody of Russian an troika bells well fit this song. How about Mary Hopkin? I wonder if Mary had not her northern taste, the TWTD did not make a great world-wide hit... Thanks a lot for this. Regards, Tommy This is my 79th TWTD in my playlist.
The song being sung here is NOT "those were the days" it's Дорогой длинною ("Dorogoy dlinnoyu"), it was written by Boris Fomin (1900-1948) with words by the poet Konstantin Podrevskii. THis song has only the melody in common the lyrics for "Days..." was written by Gene Raskin
По-моему лучший концерт Баскова. (2001 год - Кремль "Шедевры ушедшего века") Потом скатился в попсу, голос тоже испортил и сам... Обидно. Талант был большой. А вот им правильно распорядиться оказалось ему не под силу.

@Rubashkyn
There are less then 10 million Gypsys in the world, and in Russia - about 185 thousand.
:-)
i 'm sure you will enjoy italian version by gigliola cinquetti i reccomand it to you:)
@MyTubeyeah lol, maybe the new Russian soul, whatever that means.
isnt' this "Those were the days" in English? I always thought this is an English folk song. So it is originally a Russian song? interesting!
How do you know these other russian songs are better than this one?
Gypsy not traditional russian...the 17th or 18th century gentry liked it
good song sped up too fast & too Soon.. a good song always trumps excessive production.
a well done monstrosity is much worse then simple amateurism
По-моему лучший концерт Баскова. (2001 год - Кремль "Шедевры ушедшего века")
Потом скатился в попсу, голос тоже испортил и сам...
Обидно. Талант был большой. А вот им правильно распорядиться оказалось ему не под силу.
It was cool until they added electronic sounds to a classic gypsy song.
