Beautiful song and beautiful pictures of our youth in Soviet era goes very good together! The name of this song "Как молоды мы были!" (How young we were then!), 1976
The elegiac song is not a lament, it is a song of wisdom looking back at its youth.
But I'll better give a translation of this song what I found in Internet for you:
--------------------------------------
Please, look back lone passing by Stranger!
Your straight glance! I have seen it, I bet.
May be you that's me - only younger,
Ourselves we sometimes can not get.
All our deeds leave the traces inlying,
And nevertheless the youth gone is undying!
Oh, how young we were then,
Yes, how young we were then!
We loved without doubt,
Believed in ourselves.
The first time of the life game is ended,
And the only thing we could get:
Not to be lost on this Earth pretended
Don't lose yourself, try to do that!
All our deeds leave the traces inlying,
And nevertheless the youth gone is undying!
Oh, how young we were then,
Yes, how young we were then!
We loved without doubt,
Believed in ourselves.
Everybody and everything welcomed
Us with their sincere relief!
We forgave all the friends when they were wrong,
But the treachery couldn't forgive!
All our deeds leave the traces inlying,
And nevertheless the youth gone is undying!
Oh, how young we were then,
Yes, how young we were then!
We loved without doubt,
Believed in ourselves.
In the sky the sheet lightnings died out,
Hearty storms turned into peace of mind,
We will never forget dear faces,
Dear eyes in the hearts are enshrined!
All our deeds leave the traces inlying,
And nevertheless the youth gone is undying!
Oh, how young we were then,
Yes, how young we were then!
We loved without doubt,
Believed in ourselves.
--------------------------------------
Please don't forget:
Not to be lost on this Earth pretended
Don't lose yourself, try to do that!
