翻译“YESTERDAY ONCE MORE”歌词

YESTERDAY ONCE MORE
Words & Music by Richard Carpenter and John Bettis

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

When I was young
小的时候
I'd listen to the radio
听着收音机
Waitin' for my favorite songs
等待我最喜爱的歌
When they played I'd sing along
随着他们一起唱
It made me smile.
微笑荡漾在脸上

Those were such happy times
那段如此快乐的时光
And not so long ago
 就在不久以前
How I wondered where they'd gone
我真想知道他们那里去了
But they're back again
但他们又回来了
Just like a long lost friend
就像一位久违的老朋友
All the songs I loved so well.
所有的我喜爱的歌都那么美妙

Every Sha-la-la-la
每个
Every Wo-o-wo-o
每个
Still shines
仍旧闪耀着光芒
Every shing-a-ling-a-ling
每个
That they're startin' to sing's
他们正开始唱
So fine.
真棒

When they get to the part
当他们唱到
Where he's breakin' her heart
他使她的心受伤
It can really make me cry
感动得我热泪盈眶
Just like before
好像又回到从前
It's yesterday once more
昨日又重现
Lookin' back on how it was
回首展望
In years gone by
似水流年
And the good times that I had
我曾经拥有的好时光
Makes today seem rather sad
令我今天更 加感伤
So much has changed.
那么多的改变。

It was songs of love that

I would sing to then
那些我想歌唱那旧时的爱的歌啊
And I'd memorize each word
我记得每一个字
Those old melodies
那些古老的旋律
Still sound so good to me
仍旧那么动听
As they melt the years away.
好像他们融化了岁月

Every Sha-la-la-la
每个
Every Wo-o-wo-o
每个
Still shines
仍旧光芒四射
Every shing-a-ling-a-ling
每个
That they're startin' to sing's
他们正开始唱
So fine.
真棒

All my best memories
所有我的最美好的回忆
Come back clearly to me
清晰的回到我眼前
Some can even make me cry.
一些甚至能让我哭泣

Just like before
就像从前
It's yesterday once more.
昨日再来

Liner notes
from The Singles 1969-1973 written by Digby Diehl
As Richard and Karen began preparing material for their Now & Then album, the United States was in the midst of a '50s and '60s musical revival. Entire radio stations were going oldie, groups not heard from in years were re-emerging. Everywhere you looked, people were digging tunes out of the dust of '50s juke boxes. But as Richard observed, no one had written a song that was really a comment on this nostalgic trend. After coming up with the title and writing music to suit the shing-a-ling-a-ling lyrics of those old '50s backgrounds, Richard turned the rest of the lyric writing over to his partner John Bettis, and Yesterday Once More was born.

Perhaps because "Sha-la-la-la" is a sort of musical language from the oldies revival that is universal, Yesterday Once More became the Carpenters' biggest international hit. During one month the song was No. 1 in Japan, Israel, Venezuela, Belgium, Malaysia, Singapore, Hong Kong, and England. Naturally, in the U.S.A., home of American Graffiti, Yesterday Once More sold over a million copies and became the eighth gold single.
