Engelbert Those Were the Days (HD)

Those Were the Days is the English version of the originally Russian Folk song by the name of Dorogoi Dlinnoyu, which translates into, “By the Long Road”, first made popular in 1968 by the Welsh folk singer Mary Hopkins, and produced by Paul McCartney. A song about dealing with reminiscence upon youth, and romantic idealism. Another perfect vocal delivery by Engelbert….. Lyrics: 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 fight and never lose For we were young and sure to have our way. La la la la... Those were the days, oh yes those were the days 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
