Henry Roh

Roy Clark - Yesterday When I Was Young

Seems the love I've ever known
내가 알아왔던 사랑은
看起来我所知道的爱情

Has always been the most destructive kind
언제나 가장 파멸적인 종류인것 같았다
似乎总是最具有破灭性的那种

Guess that's why now
아마 그래서 왜 요즘
猜想那就是为何如今

I feel so old before my time
내가 느끼기에 내 나이보다 더 늙숙한것 같다
我感到比我年纪苍老

Yesterday, when I was young
지난날, 내가 젊었을때
往日，当我年少时

The taste of life was sweet as rain upon my tongue
삶은 혀에 닿는 빗물처럼 달콤했다
生命的滋味甜美，有如舌尖上的雨露

I teased at life as if it were a foolish game
나는 어리석은 게임을 하듯이 삶을 우습게 봤지
我嬉游人生，彷佛它只是一场愚蠢的游戏

The way the evening breeze may tease a candle flame
마치 저녁 무렵에 부는 바람이 촛불을 조롱이라도 하듯이
就如晚风逗弄烛火那样

The thousand dreams I dreamed, the splendid things I planned
수천가지 꿈을 난 꾸었었고 거창한 계획들도 난 세웠었지만
那些我做过的成千个梦想，那些我所计划的大业

I always built to last on weak and shifting sand
난 늘 취약하고 허물어지기 쉬운 모래 위에 쌓았던 것이지
我总是建立在脆弱和松软的流沙之上

I lived by night and shunned the naked light of day
난 한낮의 헐벗은 빛을 피해 밤에 살았지
我以夜为日，躲避着白昼赤裸的阳光

And only now I see how the years ran away
지금 되새겨 보면 그 세월만 어찌 흘려보냈네
现在我只见那些岁月如何飞逝而过

Yesterday, when I was young
지난날, 내가 젊었을때
往日，当我年少时

So many happy songs were waiting to be sung
수많은 즐거운 노래들이 불려지길 기다렸었고
那么多快乐的歌曲等着去唱

So many wild pleasures lay in store for me
수많은 거친 즐거움들이 나에게 있었지
那么多狂野的乐趣待我去享受

And so much pain my dazzled eyes refused to see
그리고 수많은 고통을 나의 흐려진 두 눈은 외면했었네
还有那么多痛苦，我那昏眩的双眼却不愿正视

I ran so fast that time and youth at last ran out
난 그때 시절을 너무도 빨리 달렸고 마침내 청춘을 다 써버렸지
我那时奔跑得太快，青春岁月终于用罄

I never stopped to think what life was all about
난 결코 멈춘적이 없었다, 삶이란 뭔지에 대해 사고한적도
我不曾停过，思考到底何为人生

And every conversation I can now recall
그리고 현재 내가 회상할수 있는 모든 대화들이
还有如今我能够回想起的每一段对话

Concerned itself with me, and nothing else at all
나에게 관한 화제이외 더이상 다른건 아무도 없다
跟我自己有关的话题外，没有关于其他的一切

Yesterday, the moon was blue
지난날, 달은 파랬었고
往日，月亮湛蓝

And every crazy day brought something new to do
미친 듯이 보낸 날들이 새로움을 가져다 주었지만
疯狂的每天，带来某些新鲜事可做

I used my magic age as if it were a wand
난 나의 마법간은 시간을 요술봉 휘두르듯 써버렸지
我把我魔幻般时间挥霍的如同一支魔法杖

And never saw the waste and emptiness beyond
그리고 낭비와 공허함의 너머를 보지는 못했지
却从未看见浪费与空虚的另一端

The game of love I played with arrogance and pride
내가 오만과 교만으로 즐겼던 사랑이란 게임
我傲慢自大玩弄爱情之游戏

And every flame I lit too quickly, quickly died
매번 내가 태웠던 불꽃은 너무 빨리 타올랐다가, 너무도 빨리 죽었다
点燃的每个焰火我是如此之快，也过快熄灭

The friends I made all seemed somehow to drift away
내가 사귀였던 친구들은 다 어쩌다 멀어진듯 보였고
我所交往的朋友们，似乎都不知何故逐渐疏远

And only I am left on stage to end the play
그리고 오직 나만이 무대에 남겨져 이 연극을 마쳐야 한다
只留下我自己在舞台上，独自去结束这场戏

There are so many songs in me that won't be sung
내안에 있는 수많은 노래들이 불러지지가 않는다
有太多的歌，在我心里无法被唱出来

I feel the bitter taste of tears upon my tongue
난 혀에 닿는 눈물이 쓰게만 느껴진다
我感觉到泪水苦涩的滋味滑落在舌尖

The time has come for me to pay
내 젊은 날의 대가를 치를 때가 왔다
为我过往付出代价的时间已到来

For yesterday, when I was young
지난날을 위해, 내가 젊었을때
为往日，当我年少时

- In Memory of Roy Clark
1933 - 2018

Always imitated but never duplicated.
There will never be another.

One by one, all the great legends are moving on to the next life. There is nobody that can fill their shoes here in this life which leaves sadness where happiness once was. R.I.P. Roy Clark! Thank you Country Road TV for posting this video on this day. What a wonderful song with deep feeling.

1 OF THE TRUE LEGENDS OF COUNTRY MUSIC. Back then the songs really had a meaning to them and also sometimes about the person who sang it or wrote it. ROY had 1 of those great familiar voices when he sang you felt it deep down inside.

Wow, I've listened to that song many times and I always enjoyed it. Today, with it being in memory of Roy it brought tears to my eyes. Heaven has gained another wonderful singer/entertainer. The Grim Reaper whom the barred doors or the Tyler sword afford no defense once again entered into our circle and taken one of the sons of light; rest easy Brother Roy.

Roy Clark was a great musician and an ideal choice to co-host "Hee Haw" along with Buck Owens. Both are gone now, but they both had great careers. But I also feel that Buck Owens and Roy Clark liked sharing the spotlight with the other people on "Hee Haw". I believe they enjoyed letting others shine, like George Lindsey, Minnie Pearl, Junior Samples, the Gossippin' Girls, Grandpa Jones, and all of the others on the show. Roy had such a special talent and apparent grace, and we're all better off as a result.

Harry Mills

@Randall Orr I was into big-band jazz and rock 'n' roll, so if it weren't for Hee-Haw, I ain't sure I'd know who Roy Clark was. I never associated country music with interesting charts. But in the first 5 minutes of every Hee-Haw, Roy'd show his chops just pickin' 'n' grinnin' and I started to get it a little more. I've never been a fan of the top country hits, when they were hits. But I love me some Hank Williams, now. As I've aged, I've started to appreciate the more basic forms, like the blues and country from years back. Pretty simple arrangements. The art's in the execution and the stories told.

Roy ain't shreddin', when he does "Yesterday, When I Was Young," but it's all the more powerful, the way he plays it with feeling and a metric ton of charisma in his later years.

And no. I don't think I'll ever be a big fan of the synthesized stuff that seems to be popular with the kids. It's like it's more about the gadgets than just good playin' and a good voice. That's the one thing Roy never really had, though, was an outstanding voice. He was OK.

ROY, you will be missed because you had so much talent of being a wonderful instrumentalist, singer, comedian, and good friends to all who worked with you. The song you sang here when I was young was perfect and that's how I'll always remember you especially on the Hee Haw show but I first became aware of you. My husband and I love to watch you sing and your antics. Rest in peace Roy. You're now with all your beloved family and friends in heaven. God bless you as he has blessed us. Betty Gordon, Iowa

I've listened to this beautiful song over the many years since it was made. I've loved it every time I've heard it. And with every passing year-I- like probably many men have seen how this song describes my life to a T.Roy Clark was a poet, a phenomenal entertainer, and at the very least a visionary.

Roy was always one to pick fun at himself. He once said (andI hope I am quoting him correctly), “The first record I ever made was an 8-inch record with a 12 inch hole in it, and didn’t sell at all!” He was a talented man. He was a man of integrity. He was a man of music. He will be missed!

Gatorspeed

Watched Mr.Clark from the time I was a small child through the years of his Hee Haw shows. I did also follow the other aspects of his guitar and other instrumental performances. He was a master at all he practiced. Will be missed.
