Yesterday when I was young
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 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,
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
it were 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 friends I made all
seemed somehow to drift away
And only I am left on
stage to end the play
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

Nu tot timpul e "cer
senin", asa e viata.
Poate de aceea e frumoasa
si interesanta!
