Yesterday
Yesterday,All my troubles seemed so far away.Now it looks as though they're here to stay,Oh, I believe in yesterday.Suddenly, I'm not half the man I used to be,There's a shadow hanging over me,Oh, yesterday came suddenly.Why she had to go I don't know,She wouldn't say,I said something wrong,Now I long for yesterday.Yesterday love was such an easy game to play,Now I need a place to hide away,Oh, I believe in yesterday.Why she had to go I don't know,She wouldn't say,I said something wrong,Now I long for yesterday.Yesterday, love was such an easy game to play,Now I need a place to hide away,Oh, I believe in yesterday,Mm....
歌词大意
昨天昨天，所有烦恼似乎很遥远。今天，烦恼仿佛就在眼前，噢，我喜欢昨天。猛然间我发觉我已今非昔比，阴影笼罩着我，噢，过去的生活是多么单纯。我不懂她为何要走，她也不愿告我说，或许是我说错，现在我渴望昨天。昨天，爱情无忧无虑今天，我不得不躲闪噢，我喜欢昨天。我不知她为何要走，她也不愿告诉我，或许是我说错，现在我渴望昨天。昨天，爱情无忧无虑，今天，我不得不躲闪，噢，我喜欢昨天。呣……
