Bygone times

Most people born in the 60s and 70s still remember these two songs: Nights in the Suburbs of Moscow and Three Trains. This song, “Bygone Times,” sung by Tan Weiwei, has lyrics written by Ke Ming. It depicts the indelible imprints of youth and impulse; it expresses longing for those times when life was simple yet happy, filled with the warmth of friendship and a sense of security. This emotionally rich moderate-tempo Russian tune speaks of a group of friends who shared joys and sorrows years ago, who cannot forget their youthful days. They come together once again to recall those wonderful and beautiful times, longing to return to the days when they spent winters and summers together. Even just thinking about those times fills their hearts with warmth and makes their eyes shine. The Days of Yesteryear Lyrics: Keming Music: Ulan Togha The most precious things in life are still those days of yesteryear. Though we were poor and had only happiness, wearing old clothes… Winters in Hilaraldo covered in snow, with songs from three-stringed instruments echoing in the air. Gentle summer nights by the Imyn River, with the sound of accordions drifting through the air. Now we’ve changed; we’re busy struggling to make a living. But whenever we think of those days of yesteryear, your eyes shine with joy. The most precious things in life are still those days of yesteryear. Friends raise their beers; there’s only half a sausage on the table. We used to be the best of friends, sharing both joys and sorrows together. We always said goodbye, my friends. And those nights outside Moscow… Though we’ve changed, life is still full of longing. If only we could go back to those days of yesteryear, even for just one night. Though we’ve changed, life is still full of longing. If only we could go back to those days of yesteryear, even for just one night. If only we could go back to those days of yesteryear, even for just one night
