"Those Were the Days" is a song composed by #BorisFomin (1900–1948) but credited to #GeneRaskin, who put a new English lyric to Fomin's #RussianRomance song "Dorogoi dlinnoyu", with words by the poet #KonstantinPodrevsky. The song is a reminiscence of youth and romantic idealism. It also deals with tavern activities, which include drinking, singing, and dancing. The Welsh singer #MaryHopkin covered "Those Were the Days" as her debut single in 1968.
