YESTERDAY WHEN I WAS YOUNG

CHARLES AZNAVOUR

Tonalité :

Yesterd ay when I was y oung

The taste of love was s weet as rain upon my tongue;

I teased at life as if it were a foolish g ame

The way the evening breeze ma y tease a candle flame.

The thousand dreams I dr eamed the splendid things I pla nned--

I always built to l ast on weak and shifting sa nd;

I lived by night and s hunned the naked light of day

And o nly now I see how t he years ran away.

Yesterda y when I was yo ung

So many happy so ngs were waiting to be s ung

So many wayward p leasures lay in store for m e

And so muc h pain my da zzled eye s refused to see.

I ran so fast that t ime and youth at last ran ou t

I never stopped to th ink what life was all ab out;

And ev'ry convers ation I can now reca ll

Concerned it self with me a nd nothing else at all.

Yesterd ay the moon was bl ue

And ev'ry crazy d ay brought something new to do

I used my magic a ge as if it were a wa nd

And neve r saw th e waste a nd emptiness beyond.

The game of love I pl ayed with arrogance and pr ide

And ev'ry flame I lit too quickly quickly died;

The friends I made all se emed somehow to drift aw ay

And o nly I am left o n stage to end the play.

There are so many son gs in me that won't be su ng

I feel the bitter ta ste of tears upon my to ngue;

The time has come for me to pay for yesterda y

W (N.C.) hen I was yo ung.
