Yesterday when I was young 昨天當我還年輕

Yesterday when I was young

The taste of life was sweet like rain upon mytongue

I teased at life as if it were a foolish game

The way the evening breeze would tease a candle flame

昨日當我還年輕

人生滋味像雨水落在舌頭上般甘甜

當時我嘲笑生命是一場愚蠢的遊戲

就像晚風吹拂玩弄那燭火一樣輕蔑

The thousand dreams I dreamed the splendid things I planned

I always built to last on weak and shifting sand

I lived by night and shunned the naked light of day

And only now I see how the years ran away

我造過千個美夢，運籌奇計

但結果總是不了了之，一事無成

我活在夜裡，逃開赤裸的日光

而直到現在才知道時光已飛逝

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 much pain my dazzled eyes refused to see

昨日當我還年輕

太多快樂的歌來不及去唱

太多任性的歡樂擺著任我去嘗

還有太多痛苦我早已眼花瞭亂拒絕去看

I ran so fast that time and youth at last ran out

I never stopped to think what life was all about

And every conversation I can now recall

Concerned itself with me and nothing else at all

那時我跑太快了，而青春終於耗盡

我從來沒有想過生命的意義何在

現在回想起當年的所有對話

無一不是只關乎我自己，全沒有其他

Yesterday the moon was blue

and every crazy day brought somehting new to do

I used my magic age as if it were a wand

and never saw the waste and emptiness beyond

昨日連月亮都是藍的

每天瘋瘋癲癲總會有些新鮮事情可做

我把美好的年華當做魔法棒任意揮灑

從未發現當中的浪費和虛無

The game of love I played with arrogance and pride

And every flame I lit too quickly quickly died

The friends I made all seemed somehow to drift away

And only now I am left on the stage to end the play

我曾驕傲自大地玩著愛情遊戲

每次點起的愛火都快起快滅

我結交的朋友似乎都莫名其妙就隨風而去

而現在只剩我孤單一人在舞台上謝幕

Yesterday when I was young

So many lovely songs are waiting to be sung

So many wild pleasure lay in store for me

And so much pain my eyes refused to see

昨日當我還年輕

太多快樂的歌來不及去唱

太多任性的歡樂放著讓我去嘗

還有太多痛苦我早已眼花瞭亂拒絕去看

There are so many songs in me that won't be sung

I feel the bitter taste of tears upon my tongue

The time has come for me to pay

For yesterday when I was young

現在我心裡有很多歌卻不會再唱

我嚐著舌頭上苦澀的淚水

現在是輪我付出代價的時候

去償還昨日當我年輕時的所作所為
