米国60年代末有首流行歌曲，叫：昨日我年青的时候。作者提及的是 当我们年幼的时候 ：）

原歌词作者是个法国人，也是个歌唱家。

歌词大意：

昨日当我年轻的时候，梦中理想宏伟不断而生活犹如唇尖品赏雨点， 顽皮又甜蜜；

就这样直到现如今，才知道岁月流逝不复再来。。。。。。

Yesterday, When I Was Young
Song by Charles Aznavour

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 song were waiting to be sung
So many wayward pleasures laid 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, 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
Young
Young
