дорогой длинною

english
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 dreamed 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 love and never lose
for we were young and sure to have our way
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
☆repeat
those were the days, oh yes those were the days
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 stranger really me
☆repeat
those were the days, oh yes those were the days
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
☆repeat
those were the days, oh yes those were the days

russian
ехали на тройке с бубенцами
а вдали мелькали огоньки…
эх, когда бы мне теперь за вами
душу бы развеять от тоски
дорогой длинною
погодой лунною
да с песней той
что вдаль летит звеня
и с той старинною
да с семиструнною
что по ночам
так мучила меня
да, выходит, пели мы задаром
понапрасну ночь за ночью жгли
если мы покончили со старым
так и ночи эти отошли
