llareggyb (inactive) Origin: Those Were the Days (Gene Raskin) (52* d) RE: Those were the days my friend - history? 20 Sep 08


Thanks to Masato, I found the original Russian folksong in Cyrillic & a couple of literal translations. With the help of these & my daughter Rebekkah (who speaks Russian fluently) I put together a singable translation of the Russian original, which I will post next as a Lyr Add. I thought I'd get the cross-references and credits out of the way first!

See various Forum threads linked at top of this thread, e.g. RE: MUS ADD: Those Were The Days, Guest AKS, and Ajda Pekkan

Particular thanks to Igor Matveyev for the clearest literal translation.
