Het origineel is van:

1925: Тамара Церетели (Tamara Tsereteli) (музыка: Борисом Фоминым (Borisom Fominym) / слова: Константином Подревским (Konstantin Podrevsky) als Дорогой длинною (Daroga dlinnaja) [MusTrust 3010] (78-toerenplaat) (Russische versie)

---

Those Were The Days is een liedje gecomponeerd door Boris Fomin (1900-1948), echter toegeschreven aan Gene Raskin, die een nieuwe Engelse tekst toevoegde aan Fomins Russische romantieklied Дорогой длинною (Daroga dlinnaja) op tekst van dichter Konstantin Podrevsky (1888-1930).

Het liedje is in 1925 voor het eerst op de plaat gezet door een toenmalige diva uit Georgië: Tamara Tsereteli. In die tijd, tijdens het regime van Jozef Stalin, draagt de tekst een nogal antirevolutionair sentiment uit. Het genre dat Tamara Tsereteli vertolkt, is in 1929 bij wet verboden in Rusland, aangezien Josef Stalin het als decadent bestempelt. Inmiddels heeft een ander Russisch fenomeen, Alexander Vertinsky, zijn versie ook op plaat gezet in 1926. In 1927 verschijnt een Finse uitvoering van Martti Caram op de markt, in de jaren vijftig in het Fins dunnetjes overgedaan door Annikki Tahtiand.

Het nummer verschijnt in de Brits/Franse film Innocents In Paris uit 1953, waarin met de originele Russische tekst wordt gezongen door de Russische tzigane-zangeres Ludmila Lopato. De opname van Mary Hopkin uit 1968 - met de tekst van Gene Raskin - is een hit op een groot deel van het noordelijk halfrond. Op de meeste opnames van het nummer wordt Raskin genoemd als de enige schrijver, ook al schrijft hij alleen de latere Engelse teksten (die geen Engelse vertaling zijn van de Russische teksten) en niet de muziek.

In de eerste helft van de jaren zestig spelen Raskin en zijn vrouw Francesca volksmuziek op locaties rond Greenwich Village in New York, waaronder de White Horse Tavern. Raskin, die is opgegroeid met het liedje, schrijft nieuwe Engelse teksten op de oude Russische muziek en legt auteursrecht vast op zowel de muziek als de tekst om zijn eigen naam als songwriter te vermelden. The Limeliters brengen vervolgens een opname van het nummer uit op hun elpee Folk Matinee in 1962.

De Raskins zijn internationale artiesten en spelen elk jaar in de Londonse nachtclub Blue Angel waarbij ze altijd als uitsmijter (het laatste nummer in hun show) afsluiten met Those Were The Days. Paul McCartney bezoekt de club en is behoorlijk onder de indruk van het nummer. Hij probeert tevergeefs verschillende zangers en groepen, waaronder de vroege Moody Blues, zover te krijgen dat ze het zullen opnemen. Nadat de Beatles een eigen platenmaatschappij oprichten, Apple Records, neemt McCartney contact op met Mary Hopkin, die het nummer gaat uitvoeren in de Abbey Road Studios in Londen. Later zegt hij: "Ik vind het erg pakkend, het heeft iets, het is een goede behandeling van nostalgie ... (Hopkin) pakt het heel gemakkelijk op, alsof ze het al jaren weet." Het nummer wordt uiteindelijk in meer dan twintig talen en door veel verschillende artiesten opgenomen.

De Welshe zangeres Mary Hopkin covert Those Were The Days als haar debuutsingle in 1968. Hopkins opname is een productie van Paul McCartney met een arrangement van Richard Hewson. Those Were The Days is ook terug te vinden op Hopkins debuutalbum Post Card uit 1969. Het wordt een nummer 1-hit in de Britse hitparade en Canada. In de Verenigde Staten blijft het op de 2de plaats steken in de Billboard Hot 100, omdat Hey Jude van de Beatles net iets meer verkoopt. Those Were The Days is tevens de eerste nummer 1-hit van de eerste editie van een nieuwe Franse Nationale Hitparade, C.I.D.D (Centre d'information et de documentation du disque), de eerste hitlijst die gebaseerd is op verkoopcijfers. In Nederland staat het vijf weken op rij op de 2de plaats in de Top 40. Op de B-kant van de plaat in zowel het Verenigd Koninkrijk als de Verenigde Staten staat een cover van Pete Seegers "Turn! Turn! Turn!", een Amerikaanse nummer 1-hit voor The Byrds in 1965.

Paul McCartney laat Those Were The Days door Mary Hopkin in andere talen zingen: in het Spaans (Qué tiempo tan feliz), Duits (An jenem Tag), Italiaans (Quelli erano giorni) en Frans (Le temps des fleurs). De niet-Engelse teksten zijn ook opgenomen door Dalida en Sandie Shaw.

Hopkins versie wordt uitgebracht na haar succes in de Britse tv-talentenjacht Opportunity Knocks. Rond de tijd dat het nummer op de markt verschijnt, wordt de populaire zangeres Sandie Shaw benaderd om het nummer ook op de plaat te zetten, haar management is van mening dat het door een 'echte' zangeres moet worden gedaan. Shaws versie wordt inderdaad op single uitgebracht, maar evenaart het succes van Hopkins uitvoering niet.

Op het hoogtepunt van het succes van het nummer gebruikt een bedrijf uit New York de melodie in een reclamespot voor gefilte fisj van Rokeach, met het argument dat het deuntje een oud Russisch volksdeuntje is en daarom in het publieke domein valt. De commercial bevat de regel "The perfect dish, Rokeach Gefilte Fish", waar het Engelstalige lied luidt: "Those were the days, oh yes, those were the days". Raskin heeft met succes een rechtszaak aangespannen en een schikking gewonnen, omdat hij het deuntje enigszins heeft aangepast aan zijn teksten en een geldig nieuw auteursrecht heeft afgesloten.

MARY HOPKIN:

Once upon a time there was a tavern
Where we used to raise a glass or two
Remember how we laughed away the hours
Think 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 fight and never lose
For we were young
And sure to have our way

Lalalala lala
Lalalala lala
Lalalala lalalalalala

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

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
Those were the days
Oh yes, those were the days

Lalalala lala
Lalalala lala
Lalalala lalalalalala

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 woman really me

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
Those were the days
Oh yes, those were the days

Lalalala lala
Lalalala lala
Lalalala lalalalalala

Lalalala lala
Lalalala lala
Lalalala lalalalalala

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

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
Those were the days
Oh yes, those were the days

Lalalala lala
Lalalala lala
Lalalala lalalalalala

Lalalala lala
Lalalala lala
Lalalala lalalalalala

Lalalalalala
Lalalalalala
