【ДОРОГОЙ ДЛИННОЮ】 長い道
ダローガイ・ドリーナユ
あるいは、
【Those were the days 】 悲しき天使
1917年のロシア革命の頃の、ロシアの流行歌です。
何度か、ソビエトやアメリカで、レコーディングされました。
ジプシーが伝えた音楽や、ユダヤ人のクレズマーと言われる民謡に、
ロシア人好みの、フランスかぶれの懐古趣味が、
折衷された歌です。
ロシア人が、日本人に好意的なのも、フランスかぶれかしら。
ロートレックや、パリの印象派の画家が、
浮世絵を、贔屓(ひいき)にしたように、
プーチンっていう政治家が、柔道に凝(こ)りました。
ロシア革命って、フランス革命の真似(まね)でしょう?
そう言えば、ニューヨークの自由の女神も、
独立革命100周年に、フランスが贈呈しました。
Ехали на тройке с бубенцами,
А вдали мелькали огоньки...
Эх, когда бы мне теперь за вами,
Душу бы развеять от тоски!
Дорогой длинною, погодой лунною,
Да с песней той,
что вдаль летит звеня,
И с той старинною, да с семиструнною,
Что по ночам так мучила меня.
Да, выходит, пели мы задаром,
Понапрасну ночь за ночью жгли.
Если мы покончили со старым,
Так и ночи эти отошли!
Дорогой длинною, погодой лунною,
Да с песней той,
что вдаль летит звеня,
И с той старинною, да с семиструнною,
Что по ночам так мучила меня.
В даль родную новыми путями
Нам отныне ехать суждено!
Ехали на тройке с бубенцами,
Да теперь проехали давно!
Дорогой длинною, погодой лунною,
Да с песней той,
что вдаль летит звеня,
И с той старинною, да с семиструнною,
Что по ночам так мучила меня.

Once upon a time there was a tavern
Where we used to raise a glass or two
Remember how we laughed away the hours
And dreamed of all the great things we would do
Those were the days my friend
We thought they'd never end
We'd sing and dance forever and a day
We'd live the life we choose
We'd fight and never lose
For we were young and sure to have our way.
La la la la...
Those were the days, oh yes those were the days
Then the busy years went rushing by us
We lost our starry notions on the way
If by chance I'd see you in the tavern
We'd smile at one another and we'd say
Those were the days my friend
We thought they'd never end
We'd sing and dance forever and a day
We'd live the life we choose
We'd fight and never lose
For we were young and sure to have our way.
La la la la...
Those were the days, oh yes those were the days
Just tonight I stood before the tavern
Nothing seemed the way it used to be
In the glass I saw a strange reflection
Was that lonely woman really me
Those were the days my friend
We thought they'd never end
We'd sing and dance forever and a day
We'd live the life we choose
We'd fight and never lose
For we were young and sure to have our way.
La la la la...
Those were the days, oh yes those were the days
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
Those were the days my friend
We thought they'd never end
We'd sing and dance forever and a day
We'd live the life we choose
We'd fight and never lose
For we were young and sure to have our way.
La la la la...
Those were the days, oh yes, those were the days
