Yesterday When I Was Young
Yesterday when I was young
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 drinking songs were waiting to be sung
so many wayward 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 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 the waste and emptiness beyond
the game of love I played with arrogance and pride
and every flame I lit 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

ترجمه فارسی آهنگ
آن روزها وقتي که جوان بودم
آن روزها وقتي که جوان بودم
آن روزها وقتي که جوان بودم
طعم زندگي به شيريني قطره‌هاي باران بود بر زبانم.
سر به سر زندگي مي‌گذاشتم،
تو گويي بازي احمقانه‌اي است.
همان‌گونه که نسيم شامگاهي
سر به سر شعله شمع مي‌گذارد.
هزاران رويا در سر،
و چه برنامه‌هاي باشکوهي براي خود داشتم.
دريغا که هر چه مي‌ساختم، بر شن‌هاي روان مي‌ساختم،
شب‌ها مي‌زيستم و از نور عريان روز مي‌گريختم.
و اکنون تنها مي‌‌بينم که سال‌ها چگونه از برابرم مي‌گريزند.
آن روزها وقتي که جوان بودم
چه بسيار ترانه‌هاي سرمستي که در انتظار سرودن بودند.
چه بسيار سرخوشي‌هايي که در انتظار من بودند
و جه بسيار درد و رنج‌هايي که بودند چشمان خيره‌ام نمي‌ديدند.
به سرعت مي‌دويدم و جواني و زمان را به زانو درآوردم.
و هرگز مکث نکردم تا ببينم معناي زندگي چيست.
و هر گفتگويي که اکنون مي‌توانم به ياد آورم
مرا در خود فرومي‌برد، و ديگر هيچ.
آن روزها ماه آبي بود.
و هر روز شوريده، چيز تازه‌اي براي ما به ارمغان داشت.
عمرم را همانند عصاي جادو به کار مي‌بردم،
و هرگز بيهودگي و هدر رفتن ناشي از آن را نمي‌ديدم.
بازي عشق بود که با تکبر و غرور نقش‌آفريني مي‌کردم.
و هر شعله‌اي که افروختم، به سرعت فرو نشست.
تمام دوستانم به نوعي پراکنده شدند،
و در آخر من، تنها بر صحنه نمايش باقي ماندم.
چه بسيار ترانه‌هايي در ذهنم هستند،
که هرگز خوانده نخواهند شد.
بر زبانم طعم تلخ قطره‌ای اشک را احساس مي‌کنم.
و زمان به سويم مي‌آيد
به تاوان آن روزها
آن روزها وقتي که جوان بودم.
I heard this song for the first time when I was about 20 years old performed by Aznavour . I coudn't understand the pain and love of this song then. Now I am 72 yo... now I understand. One of the most memorable artists in the world. Mr. Charles Aznavour, my respects from Finland and thank you. You will never be forgotten.
👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
I was around 20 also & I understood
I agree, and I think everybody who had a certain age can recognise these words.
And about Master Aznavour: he was one of the greatest!!!
Kaunis laulu tosiaan. Eikä Tapio Heinosen tai Anneli Pasasen versio tästä ole yhtään huonompi vaikka tässä tekijä itse esittääkin.
So rightly said!!
Now that I am old and cancer will soon take me, this song has more meaning to me than life itself. This will be my funeral song. Thank you, Monsieur Aznavour. Perhaps we'll meet in a better life.
Take Care 🙏
I am also suffering from cancer. Both of us will be leaving this world because of the cancer. Take care don't give up.
Very kind words from you -- God Bless.@@yazeedkhan9151
Thank you .....@@2730dean
Thank you .....@@2730dean
I was 15 when I heard this song and was smitten. I have been a fan of Charles all my life. I saw him once at 18 in Montreal at Place des Arts and was reduced to tears as were many in the audience when he sang La Boheme. I saw him a second time in Montreal as a birthday gift from my husband. What a cherished memory. He was truly charismatic and gifted. RIP Charles and make Heaven a little happier. Fill it with your beautiful voice and soul.
My father used to perform this song, as well as other gems from Aznavour and other great French singers.
Lucky for me that my father was born in Paris and became a singer when he came to America. Can't imagine my life without all this beautiful music from my childhood.
Merci!
Lovely lovely Charles
Unique voice and talent
The epitome of French charm
England. I believe it was in maybe 1975. I walked to the stage with a rose, and his back was to the audience as he was between songs and facing his orchestra behind him, They told him I was standing waiting for him to turn around, and he cme over to me and bent down, took the rose, held my hand and kissed me on the cheek and thanked me.....I was in awe of him...a fantastic artiste on stage. I then had to mke my wy back to my seat in the 5th row, I believe, with the whole theater watching. I tried to act as cool as a cucumber and then sat back beside my friend who didn't believe that I would do it, and just stared ahead lol
Charles Aznavour
I’m so glad I had the opportunity to see Monsieur Aznavour in concert twice in New York City. This was one of the songs he performed. Wonderful shows.
You're right, MRitta! Charles Aznavour will never be forgotten. xo
Thank you Charles for all the songs, the emotion, the charm. RIP you were one of a kind, a true musician.
He was in a lot of movies met him in London he said as a young man nobody would help him and he was still angry rip chales
@@jimreid6370 he was in the movie The Deserter starring Bekhim Fehmui.
@@jimreid6370 Would you give me a few of the film names, please?
Hier encore, j'avais 20 ans 😢
Charles i discovered your immense talent in France. France is crying the loss of a huge artist.
You will forever be in our hearts.
And you are the one for me for me for me formidable ❤
Rip Mr Aznavour
I was young when I first heard this beautiful song and it hit me hard (I'm a soft soul). Now I'm 75 and the words mean even more. Thank you, dear Mr Aznavour for your amazing career which has given so many millions of people pleasure and love. RIP - we miss you.
I just listened to this song from this penultimate performer - I watched him at Carnegie Hall every year, and every man, woman and child, was at the edge of their seats when he sang. About 6 or 7 years ago, I treated myself to a seat close up - about the fifth or sixth row - and when the curtain opened - there he was - the "mensch" (Yiddish for a real human being) directly in front of me. I was afraid to read the comments - but, too late, I read them and found that he passed. There will never be his equal - a great, great singer, actor and performer. Thank you, dear Charles - what you gave the world will never die.
he was singing for me, for you, for all of us, who are no longer young ... Charles Aznavour is one of a kind ... decades ago in my younger days, in my early twenties, saw him often on tv and I wondered whether one day those words were meant for me .. and yes it was 😭
As well as “She”, this is one of my favourites. I’ve enjoyed his music since the ‘70’s. A wonderfully prolific writer. Rest In Peace, and thank you for the music.
This song is, and will forever be, one of my absolute favorites...
One of the best songwriters ever. Most intense storytelling.
He was actually voted top singer/songwriter of the 20th century.
Only Charles can give this brilliant and melancholy song the depth of emotions we all feel in the twilight of our years..🙂
how true is that 😍
We will probably never see such a great artist again in our lives. Everything is sung from the heart.
A wonderful man and performer. I'm an old Brit but I still appreciate this man's work.
An amazing man who sung this song with all the wisdom and skill built up over a lifetime. Nobody can do it better. What a loss
One of the greatest story tellers of our time. His music is timeless magic to stir the emotions, stop and make you think. He's a very good actor too...
This song is really wonderful. Charles Aznavour was "only" 40 years old at this time... The age, getting older, has always been one of his favourite theme. Merci Monsieur Charles. Nous ne vous oublierons jamais et vos chansons survivront des siècles!
Ahhhh those wonderful yesterdays.
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 weak and shifting sand
I lived by night and shunned, 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 that 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
And I never stopped to think what life was all about
And every conversation that I can 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
I never saw 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 all seemed somehow to drift away
And only I am left on stage to end the play
Yesterday, when I was young
There were so many songs that waited to be sung
So many wild pleasures that lay in store for me
And so much pain my dazzled eyes refused to see
There are so many songs in me that won't be sung
'Cause I feel the bitter taste of tears upon my tongue
And the time has come for me to pay for yesterday
When I was young
Beautiful lyrics and thank you for your post on this beautiful song, the lyrics are so hauntingly sweet and somehow from a time a long time ago when I was young, ❤
Now that I'm 70, I feel the truth of this so much deeper. I have a heart for youthfulness, but it's over.
Magnificent and profound.
One of the most moving songs ever to be done.
Aznavour,what a great performer!
Dieu que vous êtes beau mon charles adoré même si c est en anglais ce que vous chantez bien
Querido maestro Aznavour lo conozco y admire desde mi niñez sesentera. Gracias por tanto. Llore por su partida. Seguí su despedida de este mundo a través de la TV en directo. Sentí una pena enorme. Abrazos al Cielo ❤.
this song reminds me of my grandparents, im so lucky to still haver them in my life
You will always be young dear maestro. You will always be remembered 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
Amazing voice!
May his memory be eternal! 🙏🙏🙏🌹🌹🌹
just a great concert...the greatest he would have at 70 here...till his death....one of musics most important artists...just an amazing song writer...."and every flame i lit, to quickly quickly died......"
..Charles Aznavour....
One of the best "Chansoniers" the world has ever known. Great!!!!
I think the same!!
The grand Senior of the World never forget you and your vocals....!!
Time moves slowly, yet the years pass very quickly.
Aunque y no esté entre nosotros, este señor me sigue emocionando y y haciendo soñar. Inolvidable
I love the recorded version from the 70's. Wonderful lyrics, wonderful artist! Bravo 👏
I saw him in Vancouver in 1978.....I will never forget. Tonight I am listening in Sydney, Australia Covid 19 lockdown.
Not enough likes. True artist. Stylist.
NOW 84 I FIND IT SPECIAL TO HEAR FROM THE CREATOR...A GREAT COMPOSITION & RENDITION...RIP
Superb. What a song and what a singer. It is the anthem of the old, telling life with all its broken dreams, mistakes and lost loves, only to end with the ultimate regret of lost and wasted youth and time.
Exquisite
And the french version is even better :)
Bonjour Monsieur... Greetings from Germany 🇩🇪 . Memories..... Tears..... Joy.... Happy.
It doesn't matter what language he sound very romantic, Rest in Peace part of my childhood.
We will never see the likes again has the great Charles Aznavour

What a fantastic song…. lyrics that pull at the heart strings and none of the covers I’ve heard match Charles’ delivery.
Magistral
the song sums up how I'm feeling right now. rest in peace Charles, and thank you.
Hier encore, J'avais 20 ans.
What a songwriter he was. I like Matt Monro and Shirley Bassey recordings of this classic 👌
STYLE SO BRILLIANT AND TOUCHING AND DROP DEAD AMAZING !

Incredible memories for me🎉❤️🌹🙏🇺🇸🇫🇷
What can be said about Charles atmospheric rendition of this world class Ballad that promotes the performance more than it does..Merci Charles vous et le plus grand.
You had a great talent Charles, R.I.P.
Merci, cher Charles....Aznavour toujours
I fell in love with Charles Aznavour back in the 70's (?) when he appeared on TV with Liza Minelli. His music touches my heart, regardless of the language. I would really like to let him know........Anybody?? Evan's grandmother Carole Malarkey
zal je nooit vergeten te horen xxx uit HOLLAND.
Meu Deus que coisa mais linda de música e cantor♥️
Rest easy my friend. wonderful song writer...
Quando ouço Aznavour, lembro de minha mãe que amava essa canção. 😢❤
Love, Love Love This Song! No Matter Your Age, It Makes You Stop and Think!!😊💖🙏👍 Live and Love LIFE!😊💖💖
R.I.P and thank you for your songs
Nunca me canso de ouvir este Senhor
ik koester zijn muziek en ook deze man hij is nu 93 het lied blijft niet duren dat weet iedereen maar blijft voor mij altijd bestaan
R.I.P charles ...such a loss
I saw him on Broadway in 1080-ish. Had his records. My husband & I were big fans.
Esta canção mexe com a minha alma , eu demorei mais ou menos dois meses pra aprender a cantar esta cação, já fiz uma versão em portugues apesar de gostar de cantar mais em inglês. espero um dia poder gravar. O Charles Aznavour foi muito feliz ao gravar esta cançao . Gerson Lima
This is also beautiful
The truth of life - Poetry - love it.
So much talent and feeling.
Wonderful !!
Voz imortal do Monsieur Charles Aznavour na canção que fala ao meu coração. Inesquecível como o doce passaro da juventude.
Best ever! He created Vegas!
****A Master of Song****
I love Charles Aznavour and I love Shirley Bassey, but the best version I ever heard of this is Roy Clark. I always felt that previous singers sang it too fast...he didn't.
Best of the best ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Life, blink and you miss it.
such a darling man
Великий! Браво!

Look ! - Look no ear phones like the singers use to-day ! Any thing that looks that easy is done well.
One of the greatest, voice forever.
RIP THE GREATEST EVER! CHARLES AZNAVOUR!
Merci !

A little bit of magic from the old school
PRECIOSA CANCION
The best rendering of this song.
Óriási, nagyon-nagyon szeretem AZNAVOURT.
