Yesterday, When I Was Young

Yesterday When I Was Young -Roy Clark
曾經，當我還年輕的時候- 羅伊·克拉克
Seems the love Ive known has always been
我所知道的愛
The most destructive kind
似乎一直都是最具破壞性的一種
Yes thats why now I feel so old
沒錯，所以我也開始覺得自己老了
Before my time
在這之前
Yesterday when I was young
曾經，當我還年輕的時候
The taste of life was sweet as rain upon my tongue
生活的滋味如雨點般甘甜地灑在我的舌頭上
I teased at life as if it were a foolish game
我嘲笑生活，認為這是一場愚蠢的遊戲
The way the evening breeze may tease a candle flame
而當晚風吹拂燭火之時
The thousand dreams I dreamed
我所夢到的那一千個夢
The splendid things I planned
以及我計劃的那些美好的事情
Id always built to last on weak and shifting sand
我總會堅持下去
I lived by night and shunned
我在脆弱的流沙上過著夜生活
The naked light of the day
逃避光禿禿的白晝
And only now I see how the years ran away
直到現在我終於明白歲月是如何流逝的
Yesterday when I was young
曾經，當我還年輕的時候
So many happy songs were waiting to be sung
還有那麼多快樂的歌曲沒能歌唱
So many wild pleasures lay in store for me
還有那麼多瘋狂的快樂沒能去尋找
And so much pain my dazzled eyes refused to see
如此多的痛苦讓我眼花繚亂
I ran so fast that time and youth at last ran out
我跑得太快，耗盡了時間和青春
I never stopped to think what life was all about
我從未停下來思考過生活的意義
And every conversation I can now recall
我能回憶起的每一次談話
Concerned it self with me and nothing else at all
都只有我自己，而沒有別人
Yesterday the moon was blue
昨天的月亮是藍色的
And every crazy day brought something new to do
每一個瘋狂的日子，我都有新的事情要做
I used my magic age as if it were a wand
我魔法般的年齡，更像是一根魔杖
And never saw the waste and emptiness beyond
再也看不到外面的荒蕪和空虛
The game of love I played with arrogance and pride
我傲慢而又自豪的玩著愛玩的遊戲
And every flame I lit too quickly quickly died
我點燃的每一束火焰都熄滅的很快
The friends I made all seemed somehow to drift away
我結交的朋友似乎都不知怎麼地漸漸遠去了
And only I am left on stage to end the play
只有我還留在舞台上結束這齣戲
There are so many songs in me that wont be sung
我有太多唱不出來的歌
I feel the bitter taste of tears upon my tongue
我感受到了舌頭上淚水的苦味
The time has come for me to pay for
我到了該付出代價的時候了
