今天分享一首英文歌：Yesterday, when I was young
非常好听的老歌，儿子时不时地哼着主旋律，却不知道歌词，所以上网搜了出来，有视频，可以跟着唱。
（学英文歌也可以激发学英语的兴趣，嘿嘿）
Yesterday, when I was young,
昨日，当我轻狂年少
The taste of life was sweet as rain upon my tongue,
生命的滋味甜美有如我舌尖上的雨水
I teased at life as if it were a foolish game,
我戏弄著生命，彷佛它只是一场愚蠢的游戏
The way the evening breeze may tease a candle flame
就好像夜晚的微风逗弄著一盏烛火那样
The thousand dreams I dreamed, the splendid things I planned,
成千个我所做过的梦，还有那些我所计画的大业
I always built, alas, on weak and shifting sand,
我总是建筑在，唉，松软的流沙上
I lived by night and shunned the naked light of day,
我夜夜笙歌，躲避著白昼赤裸的阳光
And only now I see how the years ran away
直到现在，我才惊觉岁月已经如何的消逝
Yesterday, when I was young,
昨日，当我轻狂年少
So many happy songs were waiting to be sung,
那么多快乐的歌曲等待我去唱
So many wild pleasures lay in store for me,
那么多狂野的乐趣等待我去享用
And so much pain my dazzled eyes refused to see
而那么多的痛苦，我昏花的双眼拒绝去看见
I ran so fast that time and youth at last ran out,
我奔跑得那么快，岁月与青春终于用罄
I never stopped to think what life was all about,
我从未停下来思考过生命究竟是什么
And every conversation I can now recall,
而如今我能够记得的所有对话
Concerned itself with me, and nothing else at all
都只跟我有关，其他的什么也没有
Yesterday, the moon was blue,
昨日，当月光依旧湛蓝
And every crazy day brought something new to do,
而每个疯狂的日子都带来一些新鲜的事情可作
I used my magic age as if it were a wand,
我滥用著我神奇的年纪，就像它是根魔法棒
And never saw the waste and emptiness beyond
从来没有看见背后的浪费与空虚
The game of love I played with arrogance and pride,
我用轻狂与自负的态度，玩著爱情的游戏
And every flame I lit too quickly, quickly died,
而我所点燃的所有焰火，都太快太快的熄灭
The friends I made all seemed somehow to drift away,
我所交的朋友，似乎都一一逐渐远去
And only I am left on stage to end the play
只有我被留在舞台上，独自去结束这场戏
Yesterday when I was young
昨日年少时
There were so many songs that waited to be sung
有那么多歌等着去唱
So many wild pleasures lay in store for me
那么多狂乐在前方等我
And so much pain my dazzled eyes refused to see
还有那么多痛苦，我那昏眩的双眼却不愿正视
I ran so fast in time and youth at last ran out
我埋头狂奔，不顾耳畔光阴飞逝，最终把青春耗尽
I never stopped to think what life was all about
我竟从未停下来想想生命的意义
And every conversation that I can now recall
而如今我能够记得的所有对话
Concerned itself with me and nothing else at all
都只跟我有关，其他的什么也没有
There are so many songs in me that won't be sung
你可知我心里拥堵着多少歌唱不出
Cause I feel the bitter taste of tears upon my tongue
只因舌尖舐到泪水苦涩
And the time has come for me
To pay for yesterday when I was young
该付出代价的时刻已经来到
只因昨日年少时……
