Original lyrics

Дорогой длинною

Ехали на тройке с бубенцами,
А вдали мелькали огоньки.
Эх, когда бы мне теперь за вами,
Душу бы развеять от тоски!
 
Припев:
 
Дорогой длинною, да ночью лунною,
Да с песней той, что в даль летит, звеня,
Да со старинною, да 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!
 
Припев.
 
В даль иную — новыми путями —
Ехать нам судьбою суждено!
Ехали на тройке с бубенцами,
Да теперь проехали давно.
 
Припев.
 
Никому теперь уж не нужна я,
И любви былой не воротить,
Коль порвётся жизнь моя больная,
Вы меня везите хоронить.
 
Припев.

Translation

By The Long Road (Those Were The Days)

You rode on a troika with sleigh bells,
And in the distance lights flickered..
If only I could follow you now
I would dispel the grief in my soul!
 
By the long road, in the moon light,
And with this song that flies off, ringing,
And with this ancient, this ancient seven-string,
That has so tormented me by night.
 
But it turns out our song was futile,
In vain we burned night in and night out.
If we have finished with the old,
Then those nights have also left us!
 
Out into our native land, and by new paths,
We have been fated to go now!
...You rode on a troika with sleigh bells,
[But] you've long since passed by!

The lyrics in the video clip is not corresponding to the actual (correct) text that submitted here. It's seems to be rather a translation of the English version (There were the days), that is actually happens to be not a translation at all, but a separate version that has nothing to do with the original Russian one.
Translation by The University of Pittsburgh Department of Slavic Languages misses the last verse.
