Hebrew: איפה הן הבחורות (Where are Those Girls?). Circle dance by [[Eli Segal]], 2007.

The tune for this dance is invariably given as "Russian folk"; the Hebrew lyrics are by Yossi Gamzu.

Eugene Raskin, a professor of architecture at Columbia University, set English lyrics to the same tune and called it Kretchma, after The Russian Kretchma, a New York restaurant of the 1920s.
Raskin's version was covered by many, including Theodore Bikel and the Irish band "Darby O'Gill and the Little People".

Raskin's more famous adaptation from Russian music was his version of Boris Fomin's song "Dorogoj dlinnoju" (Дорогой длинною, By the Long Road) to which he set English lyrics
to make the song "Those Were the Days".
