José Carreras, Plácido Domingo, Luciano Pavarotti Those Were The Days Lyrics

yekhali na troike s bubentsami
a vdali melkali aganki ...
ekh, kagda bı mnye tipyer sa vami,
dushu bı rasvyeyit ot toski ...

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'd choose,
we'd fight and never lose;
for we were young and sure to have our way.
