歌曲:Yesterday Once More
作者:Carpenters(卡朋特乐队)
歌词:
When I was young I'd listen to the radio
Waiting for my favorite songs
When they played I'd sing along,
It make 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 love so well.
Every shalala every wo'wo
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.
(Shoobie do lang lang)
Looking bak on how it was in years gone by
And the good times that had
makes today seem rather sad,
So much has changed.
It was songs of love that I would sing to them
And I'd memorise each word.
Those old melodies still sound so good to me
As they melt the years away
Every shalala every wo'wo still shines
Every shing-a-ling-a-ling that they're startingTo sing
so fine
All my best memorise come back clearly to me
Some can even make me cry
just like before.
It's yesterday once more.
(Shoobie do lang lang)
Every shalala every wo'wo still shines.
Every shing-a-ling-a-ling that they're starting to sing
so fine
Every shalala every wo'wo still shines.
歌词大意:
年少时我喜欢听着收音机
等候我喜欢的歌曲轻轻响起
我独自为它伴唱
让我感到欢喜
这样的幸福时光早已远去
我多想知道他们到了那里
像失散朋友再次回来
所有的歌曲我还是那样喜欢
每一句 sha la la la 每一句wo wo 仍散发光芒
每一句sing aling aling 他们唱得还是如此动听
当歌曲演绎到伤心的地方
确实让我哭泣
这是昨日重现啊
回头看看走过的这些时光
幸福记忆让今天的我很感伤
有太多已经改变
那首我曾为他唱的爱情歌曲
每句歌词还印在我脑海里
那些旧的记忆依旧那么美妙
为我带走这么多年的忧伤
每一句 sha la la la 每一句wo wo 仍散发光芒
每一句sing aling aling 他们唱得还是如此动听 所有美妙回忆
背景信息:
Yesterday Once More是一首追怀旧情的感伤之作,为上世纪欧美最经典的英文歌曲之一,始创于1973年。歌曲里讲述了歌手年轻时是收音机的忠实听众,常常跟随电波中的一曲曲情歌吟唱。后来,她不再有闲暇的时间去收听音乐广播了,与收音机渐渐疏远。而今,当遭遇一些挫折的她再度拧开收音机,熟悉的旋律重新响起,一声声、一曲曲仿佛正讲述着自己的过往。时光流逝,情感变迁,唯有那一首首老歌如旧友长伴在身侧,多愁善感的歌手盼望着昨日能随旧曲重现,鸳梦重温。
