Yesterday When I Was Young -許冠傑（Hui ）
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
Way the evening breeze
May tease a candle flame
The thousand dreams I dreamed
The splendid things I planned
I always built you 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 ran away
Yesterday when I was young
So many happy songs
Were waiting to be song
So many word pleasures
Lay in store for me
And so much pain my
Dazzled eyes refused to see
I ran so fist 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 want
And never saw the waste
And emptiness beyond
The game of love I played
The arrogance and pride
And every flame I lit
Too quickly quickly died
My friends I made all seemed
Somehow the 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

歌詞解析
一句話主旨
追憶青春歲月的純真，反思時間流逝後的成長代價。
主題
透過對過去的回顧，探討時間對人性與夢想的磨蝕，以及成年後對簡單快樂的懷念。
情緒
帶有淡淡的感傷與懷舊，夾雜對現實的無奈與對純真的渴望。
意象與手法
以「年輕時的夢想」與「現今的現實」形成對比，運用「風」、「淚」等自然意象象徵時間的無情與情感的流動，並透過敘事語氣建構個人回憶與普遍共鳴。
重點句解讀
1. 「YESTERDAY, WHEN I WAS YOUNG」（昨日，當我年輕時）
直接點明時間與身分的雙重變遷，將「年輕」與「昨日」連結，暗示過去的自己已難以追回。
2. 「I WAS SO FULL OF DREAMS」（我充滿夢想）
描繪青春時期的熱情與理想主義，對比後文「NOW I’M FULL OF REGRETS」（如今我滿懷遺憾）凸顯命運的反轉。
3. 「THE WORLD WAS ALL TO ME」（世界盡屬於我）
表達年輕時對未來的掌控感與無限可能，

這首歌像老相簿裡泛黃的照片，許冠傑用沙啞溫潤的聲線把時間摺疊成詩。原曲是法國創作才子查爾斯·阿茲努沃的經典，而他轉譯成華語後更添層滄桑韻味。歌裡頭那種對青春流逝的遙想，總在夜深人靜時格外清晰，彷彿聽見年少時的自己在霧裡呼喊。特別注意副歌部分轉音的處理，像風吹過老屋簷角的銅鈴，細微震動裡藏著說不出的悵惘。適合在雨夜獨自聽，讓記憶隨著旋律慢慢浮出水面，卻不急著觸碰。
歌曲冷知識
・歌詞標題直接呼應核心意象，以「昨日」與「年輕」構成時間與記憶的雙重張力。
・許冠傑粵語翻唱保留原作抒情框架
