Mary Hopkin – Those Were The Days Sheet Music for String Quartet is a song credited to Gene Raskin, who put a new English lyric to the Russian romance song “Dorogoi dlinnoyu” (“Дорогой длинною”, literally “By the long road”), composed by Boris Fomin (1900–1948) with words by the poet Konstantin Podrevsky. It deals with reminiscence upon youth and romantic idealism. Mary Hopkin’s 1968 debut single of “Those Were the Days” (producer, Paul McCartney) became a number one hit on the UK Singles Chart. The song also reached number two on the Billboard Hot 100. It was number one in the very first edition of the foreign singles sales chart launched by the Centre d’Information et de Documentation du Disque.
