As good as the pasted on English lyrics are (and indeed, Those Were the Days is a great song) I dont they they do justice to the Russian tune. And even calling the tune Russian misses some of the point. Like much Eastern European music, its heavily influenced by Gypsy and Jewish idioms. Try listening to this as if its from the Yiddish theater, and imagine even more story-telling changes to the tempo. Longer long notes and quicker figures between them. https://youtube/watch?v=mMaz70bOd7w
