Those were the days

Leningrad Cowboys: Those were the days Text / Lyrics

Efter att ha sett dokumentären om Norman Finkelstein fick sången Those were the days en djupare innebörd för mig. Sångens ryska originaltitel är Дорогой длинною och melodin skrevs av Boris Fomin (1900-1948) med text av poeten Konstantin Podrevskii.

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
For we were young and sure to have our way.
