Lyrics of "yesterday when I was young" in Qiyu(qi yu ge ci )

Yesterday when I was young

The taste of life was sweet like rain upon my tongue

I teased at life as if it were a foolish game

The way an evening breeze would tease a candle flame

The thousand dreams I dreamed

The splendid things I planned

I always built to last on weekend shifting sand

I lived by night and shinned the naked light of day

And only now I see how the years have run away

Yesterday when I was young

There were so many songs that waited to be sung

So many wild pleasures lay in store for me

And so musch pain my dazzled eyes refused to see

I ran so fast in time and youth at last ran out

I never stopped to think what life was all about

And every conversation that 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

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

And ever saw all the waste and emptiness beyond

The game of love I played with arrogance and pride

And every flame I lit so quickly , quickly died

The friends I made off seem somehow to drife away

And only I'm left on stage to end the play 　 (chorus)

There are so many song in me that won't be sung

'Cause I feel the vitter taste of tears upon my tongue

And the time has come for me

To pay for yesterday when I was young
