Andy Williams - Yesterday When I Was Young - оригинальный текст песни, перевод, видео

Очень красивая и настальгическая песня Шарля Азнавура. Впервые на английском исполнена им в 1969 году.
Слова песни звучат как подведение итога жизни человека, подчеркивая ее бренность, скоротечность и драматичность.
Данная песня мне больше нравится в исполнении Энди Уильямса. / Д.Ж.


"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 happy 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 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.

* Repeat
Very beautiful and inconsistent song by Charles Aznavour. First in English, he was performed in 1969.
The words of the song sound like a summing up of a person’s life, emphasizing its frailty, fleeting and dramaticity.
I like this song more performed by Andy Williams. / D.Zh.


"Yesterday how I was young"


Yesterday how I was young,
The Taste of Life Was Sweet as Rain Upon My Tongue,
I Teed at Life as If it was 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 Lved 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 Happy Songs Were Waiting to Be Sung,
So Many Wayward pleasures Lay in Store for me
And so much pain my dazzled eyes refuse to see,

I Ran So Fast that Time and Youuth 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 AS IF It Were A Wand,
And Never Saw The Waste and Emptiness Beond;
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 ',
I Feel The Bitter Taste of Tears Upon My Tongue,
The Time Has Come for Me to Pay for Yesterday
When I Was Young.

* Repeat
