[00:00.000] 作词 : Charles Aznaourian/Herbert Kretzmer[00:01.000] 作曲 : Charles Aznaourian/Herbert Kretzmer[00:09.343]Yesterday when I was young.[00:14.391]the taste of life was sweet as rain upon my tongue.[00:19.942]I teased at life as if it were a foolish game.[00:25.013]the way the evening breeze may tease a candle flame.[00:30.284]The thousand dreams I dreamed, the splendid things I planned.[00:35.914]I always built alas on weak and shifting sand.[00:41.208]I ived by night and shunned the naked light of the day.[00:46.487]and only now I see how the years ran away.[00:52.113]Yesterday when I was young.[00:57.153]so many happy songs were waiting to be sung.[01:02.760]so many happy pleasures lay in store for me.[01:08.289]and so much pain my dazzled eyes refused to see.[01:13.322]I ran so fast that time and youth at last ran out.[01:18.348]I never stopped to think what life was all about.[01:23.367]and every conversation I can now recall.[01:28.650]concerned itself with me and nothing else at all.[01:55.847]Yesterday the moon was blue.[02:01.117]and every crazy day brought something new to do.[02:06.725]I used my magic age as if it were a wand.[02:11.996]and never saw the waste and emptiness beyond.[02:17.006]The game of love I played with arrogance and pride.[02:22.578]and every flame I lit too quickly quickly died.[02:27.838]The friends I made all seemed somehow to drift away.[02:33.360]and only I am left on stage to end the play.[02:38.870]There are so many songs in me that won't be sung.[02:43.905]I feel the bitter taste of tears upon my tongue.[02:49.233]The time has come for me to pay for yesterday when I was young.
