Текст песни Yesterday When I Was Young - 齊豫

Yesterday when I was young
The taste of life was sweet like rain upon my tongue
I teased at life as if it were a foolish game
The way an evening breeze would tease a candle flame
The thousand dreams I dreamed
The splendid things I planned
I always built to last on weekend shifting sand
I lived by night and shinned the naked light of day
And only now I see how the years have run away
Yesterday when I was young
There were so many songs that waited to be sung
So many wild pleasures lay in store for me
And so musch pain my dazzled eyes refused to see
I ran so fast in time and youth at last ran out
I never stopped to think what life was all about
And every conversation that I can (now) recall
Concerned itself with me and nothing else at all
Yesterday the moon was blue
And every craze day brought something new to do
And I used my mageic age as if it were a wand
And ever saw all the waste and emptiness beyond
The game of love I played with arrogance and pride
And every flame I lit so quickly, quickly died
The friends I made off seem somehow to drife away
And only I'm left on stage to end the play (chorus)
There are so many song in me that won't be sung
Cause I feel the vitter taste of tears upon my tongue
And the time has come for me
To pay for yesterday when I was young
