Yesterday once more (昨日重現) ~ Carpenters (木匠兄妹)




Yesterday once more 昨日重現

 When I was young
 當我年輕時

 I’d listen to the radio
 我常聽著收音機

 Waiting for my favorite songs
 等待我最喜愛的歌曲

 When they played I’d sing along
 播出時就跟著哼哼唱唱

 It made me smile
 那總是使我面露微笑

 Those were such happy times
 那真是一段快樂的時光

 And not so long ago
 就在不久以前

 How I wondered where they’d gone
 我很想知道它們到哪裡去了

 But they’re back again
 但它們終究回來了

 Just like a long lost friend
 像個失去聯絡很久的朋友

 All the songs I loved so well
 每一首歌都是我的最愛

 Every sha-la-la-la
 每一句Sha-la-la-la

 Every wo-o-wo-o
 每一句Wo-o-wo-o

 Still shines
 依然動人

 Every shing-a-ling-a-ling
 每一句 shing-a-ling-a-ling

 That they’re starting to sing
 它們就是這麼開始唱的

 So fine
 真是美極了……

 When they get to the part where he’s breaking her heart
 當唱到他傷了她的心那一段

 It can really make me cry
 真的會使我傷心落淚

 Just like before
 就像從前一樣

 It’s yesterday once more
 彷彿昨日重現

 Looking back on how it was in years gone by
 回顧歲月的流逝

 And the good times that I had
 以及我擁有的美好時光

 Makes today seem rather sad
 相較之下,如今多麼可悲

 So much has changed
 物事已非
 It was songs of love that I would sing to then
 那是我當時唱的情歌

 And I’d memorize each word
 我還記得每一句歌詞

 Those old melodies
 那些古老的旋律

 Still sound so good to me
 聽起來依然甜美

 As they melt the years away
 把歲月都融化了

    Every sha-la-la-la
 每一句Sha-la-la-la

 Every wo-o-wo-o
 每一句Wo-o-wo-o

 Still shines
 依然動人

 Every shing-a-ling-a-ling
 每一句 shing-a-ling-a-ling

 That they’re starting to sing
 它們就是這麼開始唱的

 So fine
 真是美極了……


 All my best memories
 我最美好的回憶

 Come back clearly to me
 歷歷如繪的回到我面前

 Some can even make me cry
 有些甚至會使我哭泣

 Just like before
 就像從前一樣

 It’s yesterday once more
 彷彿昨日重現

     Every sha-la-la-la
 每一句Sha-la-la-la

 Every wo-o-wo-o

 That they’re starting to sing
