Yesterday
Franck Pourcel and His Orchestra Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I'd listened to the radio
Waitin' for my favorite songs
Waiting they played I'd sing along
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-wo-wo
Still shines
Every shing-a-ling-a-ling
That they're starting 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
Repeat (*)
All my best memories
Come back clearly to me
Some can even make me cry
Just like before
It's yesterday once more
The song "Yesterday Once More" by Frank Pourcel and his Orchestra reminisces on the nostalgia of the past and how music plays a significant role in bringing back memories that often feel lost. Through the lyrics, the listeners can sense the yearning for the good old days, and the lyrics conjure up memories that create a sense of both joy and sadness. In the first stanza, the lyrics are straightforward, explaining that music played a significant role in creating happiness since it was one of the few mediums available back then. This created a spiritual connection to music, which they long for these days.
In the second stanza, the lyrics delve deeper into the overall feeling of nostalgia. The comparison between the past and present brings sadness, and as age progresses, such melancholic emotions continue to grow. The song reiterates the idea that through music, one can go back in time to relive memories which they once cherished. In the final stanza, the lyrics intensify the idea of memories, the memories of the golden years, good memories that bring happiness and sad memories that evoke tears. These memories are of significance to the listeners, as it brings back old feelings, which helps to remember the best times of life.

When I was young
In the past, during my youth
I'd listened to the radio
I would listen to the radio
Waitin' for my favorite songs
Anticipating my favorite songs
Waiting they played I'd sing along
When they were played, I would sing the lyrics along
It made me smile
It brought happiness to me
Those were such happy times
That time period was filled with joy and contentment
And not so long ago
It wasn't too far in the past
How I wondered where they'd gone
I would ponder where those times had vanished to
But they're back again
But now, they have once again returned
Just like a long lost friend
It feels like an old, previously lost, friend has returned
All the songs I loved so well
All the songs I cherished deeply
Every sha-la-la-la
Each repetition of 'sha-la-la-la'
Every wo-wo-wo
Every occurrence of 'wo-wo-wo'
Still shines
Still emanates the same brightness
Every shing-a-ling-a-ling
Every time they say 'shing-a-ling-a-ling'
That they're starting to sing's
When they begin to sing that part
So fine
It's marvelous
When they get to the part
Upon reaching the section of the song
Where he's breakin' her heart
Where he is heartlessly breaking her heart
It can really make me cry
It can bring tears to my eyes
Just like before
Just as it used to
It's yesterday once more
It feels like the past has returned
Lookin' back on how it was
Reflecting on the past
In years gone by
In the years that have passed
And the good times that I had
And the delightful moments I experienced
Makes today seem rather sad
It causes the present to appear dismal
So much has changed
So many things have evolved
It was songs of love that
They were love songs that
I would sing to then
I would sing to them
And I'd memorize each word
I committed each word to memory
Those old melodies
Those ancient melodies
Still sound so good to me
They still resonate beautifully with me
As they melt the years away
As they make the years appear to have disappeared
All my best memories
All my finest memories
Come back clearly to me
Resurface in my mind vividly
Some can even make me cry
Some of them can even move me to tears
Just like before
In the same way as before
It's yesterday once more
It's as if I've returned to the past
