Yesterday When I Was Young - Julio Iglesias

作词：Charles Aznavour/Herbert Kretzmer

作曲：Charles Aznavour/Herbert Kretzmer

Yesterday when i was young

The taste of life was sweet

as rain upon my tongue

I teased at life as if it were

a foolish game

The way the evening breeze

may tease a candle flame

The thousand dreams i

dreamed the splendid

things i planned

I always built alas on weak

and shifting sand

I lived by night and shunned

the naked light of the day

And only now i see how

the years ran away

Yesterday when i was young

So many drinking songs

were waiting to be sung

So many wayward pleasures

lay in store for me

And so much pain my

dazzled eyes refused to see

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

Yesterday the moon was blue

And every crazy day brought

something new to do

I used my magic age as

if itwere a wand

And never saw the waste

and emptiness beyond

The game of love i played

with arrogance and pride

And every flame i lit too

quickly quickly died

The friedns i made all

seemed somehow to drift away

And only i am left on

stage to end the play

Yesterday when i was young
