The Carpenters - Yesterday once More

 

When I was young I'd listen to the radio
Waitin' for my favorite songs
When they played I'd sing along, it made me smile

Those were such happy times and not so long ago
How I wondered where they'd gone
But they're back again just like a long lost friend
All the songs I loved so well

 

Every sha-la-la-la
Every wo-o-wo-o, still shines
Every shing-a-ling-a-ling, that they're startin' to sing's, so fine

When they get to the part
Where he's breakin' her heart
It can really make me cry, just like before
It's yesterday once more

 

Lookin' back on how it was in years gone by
And the good times that I had
Makes today seem rather sad, so much has changed.

It was songs of love that I would sing to then
And I'd memorize each word
Those old melodies still sound so good to me
As they melt the years away

 

Every sha-la-la-la

Every wo-o-wo-o, still shines

Every shing-a-ling-a-ling, that they're startin' to sing's so fine

All my best memories come back clearly to me

Some can even make me cry, just like before

It's yesterday once more

 

Every sha-la-la-la

Every wo-o-wo-o, still shines

Every shing-a-ling-a-ling, that they're startin' to sing's so fine

Every sha-la-la-la

Every wo-o-wo-o, still shines

Every shing-a-ling-a-ling

 

 

 

Yesterday once More (옛날이여 다시 한번)

 

내가 어렸을 땐 라디오를 즐겨들었지.
내가 좋아하는 노래가 나오면 따라 부르곤 했어.
미소짓게 하는 일들이었지.
참 행복한 시절이었는데.
생각해 보면 그리 오래 전도 아니야.
그 노래들은 까마득히 잊혀졌다가 다시 내가 돌아왔지.

오랫동안 잊혀졌다가 불쑥 나타난 친구처럼.

 

그런데 그 노래들의 구절 구절이 아직도 내게 감동을 주는군.
특히 남자가 여자의 가슴을 아프게 하는 가사는

옛날에 그랬듯이 또 눈물을 흘리게 하네.
옛날이 다시 돌아온 것 같아

지나왔던 즐거웠던 시절들을 생각해 보니.
현재의 내가 슬퍼지는군.
모든 것이 변해버렸어

 

.
그때 즐겨 따라 부르곤 했던 사랑 노래들.
나는 그 가사를 외우곤 했지.
그 옛날 가사들은 참으로 훌륭해.
모든 기억들이 생생하게 되살아나게 하네.
어떤 기억은 눈물 흘리게 하지.
옛날이 다시 온 것처럼.
