Alexia Vassiliou - Yesterday When I Was Young

Αλέξια - Yesterday when I was young,
από την εκπομπή "Τσέρυ σάξο και μετάξι" 1992.

Music by Charles Aznavour, Lyrics by Herbert Kretzmer

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 lovely songs were waiting to be sung,
So many wild pleasures lay in store for me,
And so much pain, my dazzled eyes refused to see

I ran so fast that time, and youth at last ran out,
I never stopped to think, what life, was all about,
And every conversation, I can recall,
Concerned itself with me, and nothing else at all

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
