"Those Were the Days" in the original Russian [View all]

As heard on NPR's Says You earlier this evening: the original Russian version of the classic song "Those Were the Days".

I never knew that this was originally a Russian song (the lyrics are quite different) but now that I do know, I can't believe that I didn't pick up on that before. It sounds so very typically Russian.
