DorogoiDlinnou Yehalinatroike s bubentsami Ah vdalimel’kaliogon’ki Eh, kogda bi mnieteperzavami Dushubyirazveyatsottoski CHORUS: Dorogoidlinnoyu Da nochkoilunnoyu Da s pesneitoichto v dalletitzvenya Da s toistarinnou Da s semestrunnou Chtoponochamtakmuchilamenya La , la, la….. We travelled on three horses with the bells Far away the lights were flickering Oh, if I can ever keep up with you To get rid of boredom of my soul CHORUS: Endless road Mooney night With the song that ringing far way With that old and 7-string ( guitar) That kept me awake all night long

  5. Those were the daysLyrics- Gene Raskin; Music -Boris Fomin 1. 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 CHORUS: 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 chose We'd fight and never lose 2. For we were young and sure to have our way 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...
