Yesterday Once More
Laurent Voulzy Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
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
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.

Yesterday once more
再聽鐘聲憶往日-詞:自度
長堤岸畔、懈逅結伴相約會，拂柳花開蝶舞翩，沐曬日光矯江裡浴戲浪潮。
榕林蜜侣、探夜百合花吐蕊，静聽鶯嚦度愛歌，月光照笑面，渡美滿晚上，共你處處覓暗香。
耳邊歌聲溫馨得你伴我歡欣動聽，耳邊歌聲多溫馨得你伴我歡欣合唱。係你對待我好、我係對待你好，俩家傾出心裡話:誓效比翼烏，共盟連頭纏樹木。(伴聚是快樂、伴聚是快樂)
重尋舊處、你在那日一去後，就盼歸舟棹你返，未見倩踪迹将晚默送夕陽。
遊迴夢轉、往事印像俱去後，夜半歌聲令我泣，路灯照冷巷，在每個晚上，但我次次未見君。遠方鐘聲叮噹今晚獨看天空月朗，(宵宵孤凄憶起你)遠方鐘聲添叮噹今晚未見君歸伴我。係我每日盼君、我係每夜記君，再聽鐘聲憶往日，又被風掠去，夜殘人迎旭日現。(滴盡是眼淚)
耳邊歌聲溫馨得你伴我歡欣動聽，耳邊歌聲多溫聲得你伴我歡欣歌唱。
遠方鐘聲叮噹今晚獨看天空月朗，遠方鐘聲添叮噹今晚未見君歸伴我。
夜殘人迎旭日現。
玉、祝妳生日快樂。
