Yesterday once more　The Carpenters

When I was young
I'd listen to the radio
Waiting for my favorite songs
When they played I'd sing along
It made me smile

Those were such happy times
And not so long ago
How I wondered where they'd gone
But they're back again
Just like a long lost friend
All the songs I loved so well

Every sha-la-la-la
Every wo-o-wo-o
Still shines
Every shing-a-ling-a-ling
That they're starting to sing
So fine
When they get to the part where he's breaking her heart
It can really make me cry
Just like before
It's yesterday once more

Looking back on how it was in years gone by
And the good times that I had
Makes today seem rather sad
So much has changed
It was songs of love that I would sing to then
And I'd memorize each word
Those old melodies
Still sound so good to me
As they melt the years away

All my best memories
Come back clearly to me
Some can even make me cry
Just like before
It's yesterday once more

昨日重现　木匠兄妹合唱团

当我年轻时
我常听着收音机
等待我最喜爱的歌曲
播出时就跟着哼哼唱唱
那总是使我微笑

那真是一段快乐的时光
就在不久以前
我很想知道它们到哪里去了
还好它们终究回来了
像个很久没有联络的朋友
每一首歌都是我的最爱

每一句 Sha-la-la-la
每一句 Wo-o-wo-o
依然闪耀动人
每一句 shing-a-ling-a-ling
当他们开始唱
真是美极了
当他们唱到他伤了她的心那一段
真的会使我伤心落泪
就像从前一样
仿佛昨日重现

回顾在岁月里流逝的
以及我拥有的美好时光
相较之下，如今多么可悲
很多事情都已改变
那都是我当时会去唱的情歌
我还记得每一句歌词
那些古老的旋律
听起来依然那么甜美
把往日时光都融化了

我最美好的回忆
历历如绘的回到我面前
有些甚至会使我哭泣
就像从前一样
仿佛昨日重现
