Yesterday all my troubles seemed so far away, Now it looks as though they're here to stay. Oh, I believe in yesterday. Suddenly I'm not half the man I used to be, There's a shadow hanging over me. Oh, yesterday came suddenly. Why she had to go, I don't know, she wouldn't say. I said something wrong, now I long for yesterday. Yesterday love was such an easy game to play. Now I need a place to hide away. Oh, I believe in yesterday. Вчера все мои проблемы казались такими далёкими, Теперь же кажется, будто они здесь навсегда. Ах, я верю во вчерашний день... Вдруг я заметил, что уже не такой, каким был Надо мною нависла какая-то тень. Ах, вчерашний день внезапно отдалился. Но почему же она ушла?! Не знаю, да она и не призналась бы. Сказал что-то не то, а теперь тоскую по вчерашнему дню. Ещё вчера любовь была такой лёгкой игрой. Теперь же мне нужно где-то спрятаться ото всех. Ах, как же я верю во вчерашний день!
