吟唱．海棠

    起風時，我總會想起

   那一段年輕的日子

   多希望青春可以無怨無悔

   但又如何能雲淡風輕的看清

   最美的時光

   和最初的寂寞

   人生啊    終須一別

     Yesterday when I was young  

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 the day
And only now I see how the years have run away

昨日當我年輕時
生命的滋味甜美如同舌尖上的雨水
我嘲笑人生，笑它是個愚蠢的遊戲
以向晚的微風吹弄燭火的方式
我做過的千百個夢
我計劃過的冠冕堂皇的事
我總是建築在脆弱而流動的沙土上
我過著夜生活
避開白天的陽光
如今只能看著這些歲月溜走 


Yesterday when I was young
There were so many songs that waiting 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

昨日當我年輕時
有太多的歌待唱
太多狂野的享樂在店裡等我
太多的苦痛我那昏眩的雙眼不願看見
我衝得太快，時光與青春終於消逝
我從不曾停下來思考生命的意義
如今我記得的每一席對話
和我有關的都是一片空白

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 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

昨日當月亮是藍色的
每個瘋狂的日子總有新鮮事要做
我將這段奇幻歲月像魔杖一般使用
卻看不見未來的荒蕪及空白
在愛情遊戲中，我玩弄著狂妄和尊嚴
我點燃的火焰很快就熄滅
我結交的朋友最終都離散
只剩我留在舞台上演完這齣戲


Yesterday when I was young
There were so many songs that waiting to be sung
So many wild pleasures 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
The time has come for me
to pay for yesterday when I was young

昨日當我年輕時
有太多的歌待唱
太多狂野的享樂在店裡等我
太多的苦痛我那昏眩的雙眼不願看見
我心裡有太多的歌不能唱
只因我嚐到了舌尖上淚水的苦澀
時候到了
我得為年輕的時候付出代價
