歌词中间高潮部分“La la la la...”，节奏越来越快的男声版，出自Hermes House Band乐队翻唱的《Those were the days》。
这是一支
犹太民谣，最早是1926年由一位叫做亚历山大·沃廷斯基（Alexander Vertinsky）的俄罗斯人用俄语
演唱的《Дорогой длинною》（路漫漫）（历史上不少犹太人迁徙到俄罗斯居住，已成为
俄罗斯民族的一部分）。1968年，
威尔士民歌手玛丽·霍普金演唱了这首歌的英文版《Those were the days》，成为欧美流行音乐史上难以忘怀的经典之作。这首非常怀旧的歌曲讲述了一个往日时光的美好故事，而曲调中又明显透露出犹太民族离乱中坚毅自强的可贵品格。90年代初，
列宁格勒牛仔乐队和俄罗斯红军乐团在演唱会中分别用英语和俄语演唱了这首伟大的作品，场景壮观，气势雄浑，似乎在向人昭示新俄罗斯自强不息的精神风貌。

中英歌词：
Once upon a time there was a tavern
很早以前有一家酒店
Where we used to raise a glass or two
在那儿我们举杯换盏
Remember how we laughed away the hours
是否仍记得如何用笑声消磨时光
And think about the great things we would do
把愿做的件件大事来梦想？
Those were the days my friend
往日的情怀啊，朋友
We thought they'd never end
我们想永不终断
We'd sing and dance forever and a day
我们要唱啊跳啊跳一整天
We'd live the life we choose
我们按自己的方式生活
We'd fight and never lose
我们奋斗，从不服输
For we were young and sure to have our way.
因为我们年轻，肯定会获胜
La la la la...
啦，啦，啦.....
Then the busy years went rushing by us
后来忙碌岁月从身旁飞过
We lost our starry notions on the way
我们在路上丢失了星光般的理想
If by chance I'd see you in the tavern

We'd smile at one another and we'd say

Just tonight I stood before the tavern

Nothing seemed the way it used to be

In the glass I saw a strange reflection
在镜子里我看到一个陌生的影子
Was that lonely woman really me

Through the door there came familiar laughter

I saw your face and heard you call my name

Oh my friend we're older but no wiser

For in our hearts the dreams are still the same
