Yesterday When I Was Young-Dusty Springfield

[00:00.00] 作词 : Herbert Kretzmer [00:01.00] 作曲 : Charles Aznavour [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.
