Somehow, it seems the love I knew was always the most destructive kind

不知为何，我经历的爱情总是最具毁灭性的的那种

Yesterday when I was young

昨日当我年少轻狂

The taste of life was sweet

生命的滋味是甜的

As rain upon my tongue

就如舌尖上的雨露

I teased at life as if it were a foolish game

我戏弄生命 视其为愚蠢的游戏

The way the evening breeze

就如夜晚的微风

May tease the candle flame

逗弄蜡烛的火苗

The thousand dreams I dreamed

我曾千万次梦见

The splendid things I planned

那些我计划的绚丽蓝图

I always built to last on weak and shifting sand

但我总是将之建筑在易逝的流沙上

I lived by night and shunned the naked light of day

我夜夜笙歌逃避白昼赤裸的阳光

And only now I see how the time ran away

事到如今我才看清岁月是如何匆匆流逝

Yesterday when I was young

昨日当我年少轻

So many lovely songs were waiting to be sung

有那么多甜美的曲儿等我歌唱

So many wild pleasures lay in store for me

有那么多肆意的快乐等我享受

And so much pain my eyes refused to see

还有那么多痛苦 我的双眼却视而不见

I ran so fast that time and youth at last ran out

我飞快地奔走 最终时光与青春消逝殆尽

I never stopped to think what life was all about

我从未停下脚步去思考生命的意义

And every conversation that I can now recall

如今回想起的所有对话

Concerned itself with me and nothing else at all

除了和我相关的 什么都记不得了

The game of love I played with arrogance and pride

我用自负和傲慢玩着爱情的游戏

And every flame I lit too quickly, quickly died

所有我点燃的火焰都熄灭得太快

The friends I made all somehow seemed to slip away

所有我交的朋友似乎都不知不觉地离开了

And only now I'm left alone to end the play, yeah

只剩我一个人在台上来结束这场闹剧

Oh, yesterday when I was young

噢 昨日当我年少轻狂

So many, many songs were waiting to be sung

有那么那么多甜美的曲儿等我歌唱

So many wild pleasures lay in store for me

有那么多肆意的快乐等我享受

And so much pain my eyes refused to see

还有那么多痛苦 我的双眼却视而不见

There are so many songs in me that won't be sung

我有太多歌曲永远不会被唱起

I feel the bitter taste of tears upon my tongue

我尝到了舌尖泪水的苦涩滋味

The time has come for me to pay for yesterday

终于到了付出代价的时间 为了昨日

When I was young

当我年少轻狂
