Lyrics

[00:00.00] 作曲 : Charles Aznavour
[00:01.00] 作词 : Herbert Kretzmer
[00:17.10] Yesterday when I was young
[00:22.54] the taste of life was sweet as rain upon my tongue.
[00:29.14] I teased at life as if it were a foolish game,
[00:35.99] the way the evening breeze may tease a candle flame.
[00:43.19] The thousand dreams I dreamed,
[00:46.19] the splendid things I planned
[00:49.49] I always built to last on weak and shifting sand.
[00:55.50] I lived by night and shunned the naked light of the day
[00:59.59] and only now I see how the years ran away.
[01:05.00]
[01:06.20] Yesterday when I was young
[01:10.51] so many happy songs were waiting to be sung,
[01:16.12] so many wayward pleasures lay in store for me
[01:21.80] and so much pain my dazzled eyes refused to see.
[01:26.21] I ran so fast that time and youth at last ran out,
[01:31.70] I never stopped to think what life was all about
[01:37.37] and every conversation I can now recall
[01:42.28] concerned itself with me and nothing else at all.
[01:47.00]
[02:09.28] Yesterday, the moon was blue,
[02:15.40] And every crazy day, brought something new to do,
[02:20.00] I used my magic age, as if it were a wand,
[02:25.28] And never saw the waste, and the emptiness beyond
[02:30.28] The game of love I played, with arrogance and pride,
[02:35.28] And every flame I lit, too quickly, quickly died,
[02:41.28] The friends I made, all seemed somehow to drift away,
[02:46.58] And only I am left, on stage to end the play
[02:51.78] There are so many songs in me that won't be sung,
[02:57.45] I feel the bitter taste of tears upon my tongue.
[03:02.48] The time has come for me to pay for yesterday
[03:08.48] when I was young.
[03:16.50]
[03:20.00] Yesterday when I was young
[03:25.51] so many happy songs were waiting to be sung,
[03:30.12] so many wayward pleasures lay in store for me
[03:35.00] and so much pain my dazzled eyes refused to see.
