Lirik Lagu Yesterday When I Was Young – Charles Aznavour

[Verse 1] Gm C

Yesterday when I was young F Bb

The taste of life was sweet as rain upon my tongue Gm A

I teased at life as if it were a foolish game Dm

The way the evening breeze may tease a candle flame.

[Verse 2] Gm C

The thousand dreams I dreamed, the splendid things I planned F Bb

I always built, alas, on weak and shifting sand Gm A

I lived by night and shunned the naked light of day Dm

And only now I see how the years ran away

[Chorus] Bb C

Yesterday, when I was young F Bb

So many drinking songs were waiting to be sung Gm A

So many wayward pleasures lay in store for me Dm

And so much pain my dazzled eyes refused to see Bb C

I ran so fast that time and youth at last ran out F Bb

I never stopped to think what life was all about Gm A

And every conversation I can now recall Dm

Concerned itself with me, me and nothing else at all.

[Verse 3] Gm C

Yesterday the moon was blue F Bb

And every crazy day brought something new to do Gm A

I used my magic age as if it were a wand Dm

And never saw the waste and emptiness beyond.

[Verse 4] Dm Gm C

The game of love I played with arrogance and pride F Bb

And every flame I lit too quickly, quickly died. Gm A

The friends I made all seemed somehow to drift away Dm

And only I am left on stage to end the play.

[Outro] Bb C

There are so many songs in me that won’t be sung F Bb

I feel the bitter taste of tears upon my tongue Gm A

The time has come for me to pay for yesterday Dm

When I was…young

A

Young

Dm

Young
