"You Look Familiar" A new CD from Mary Hopkin and Morgan Visconti also
"Spirit" the wonderful 1989 album has now been re-released these and lots more available from her website Mary Hopkin Music http://www.maryhopkin.com
The opening black and white film is from 1968 and the remaining film is from around 1982.
This song sung by Mary Hopkin called "those were the days" is not translated from the song "Дорогой длинною" "Dorogo Dlinnoyu".
The song "Dorogoy Dlinnoyu (Along a long road)" was written in the 1920's by "Boris Fomin" (music) and "Konstantin Podrevsky" (lyrics). An American called Gene Raskin in the early 60's wrote the lyrics "Those were the days" and put them to Fomin's music. The words have no similarity whatsoever with Podrevsky's

I loved when I would wake up in '68 and hear this song on the radio. I was only 8, but songs like that stay with me.

Mary also appears on Thin Lizzy's album 'Bad Reputation' where she contributes layered ,ethereal , choir-like vocal accompaniment to a song titled 'Dear Lord' .

Although no one does this song better than Mary Hopkin Manca Izmajlova does a nice job singing it in Russian.
This particular recording does not catch the fully glory of Mary Hopkin's performance, find another of her recordings and your heart will open up.
