آهنگ دیروز، وقتی جوان بودم — اجرای زنده در وین، ۱۹۹۳ از فرهاد مهراد | آلبوم اجرای زنده در وین، ۱۹۹۳

Yesterday, when I was young The taste of life was sweet, as rain upon my tongue I teased at life, as if it were a foolish game The way the evening breeze may tease a candle flame The thousand dreams I dreamed, the splendid things I planned I always built, alas, on weak and shifting sand I lived by night, and shunned the naked light of day And only now I see, how the years ran away Yesterday, when I was young So many happy songs were waiting to be song So many wild pleasures lay in store for me So much pain, my dazzled eyes refused to see I ran so fast that time, and may at last ran out I never stopped to think, what life was all about And every conversation, I can now recall Concerned itself with me, and nothing else at all Yesterday, the moon was blue And every crazy day, brought something new to do I used my magic age, as if it were a wand And never saw or noticed the emptiness beyond The game of love I played, with arrogance and pride And every flame I let, too quickly, quickly died The friends I made all seemed somehow to drift away And only I am left, on stage to end the play There are so many songs in me, that won`t be sung I feel the bitter taste, of tears upon my tongue The time has come for me to pay For yesterday, when I was young
