Only Yesterday - （昨日已逝）- 卡朋特：你的爱让我像一首歌一样自由

戴上耳机听歌更有身临其境的感觉

Carpenters（卡朋特兄妹）演唱的歌曲中，有两首的名字都带有“yesterday”（昨天），一首是《Yesterday Once More》（昨日重现），相信大家已经非常熟悉，因为它已经家喻户晓；还有一首是《Only Yesterday》（昨日已逝）。是不是很有意思？前一首的意思是昨日的美好重现，后一首的意思是昨日的痛苦已逝。两首歌，就像孪生兄妹一样：一个回忆昨天，一个歌唱今天。《Only Yesterday》这首歌并不像《Yesterday Once More》那么流行，但在旋律、歌词、演唱上并不比他逊色。没有像前一首那么流行，一是因为人们更喜欢回忆昨天的美好而不是更喜欢回忆昨天的痛苦，二是因为前一首出现的更早一些，出现带同一个字的歌曲的时候，人们判断它很你难超越前一首。

两首歌的开始都有同一个特点：都是很简短的前奏之后，人声马上介入。这首歌的配器同《昨日重现》基本相同，只是《昨日已逝》这首歌的间奏有一段非常经典的萨克斯旋律，与后面的电吉他一前一后衔接美妙。希望听友们能够喜欢。

顺祝周末愉快！

Only Yesterday

By Carpenters

After long enough of being alone

独自一人很久
Everyone must face their share of loneliness
每个人总要面对孤独之怜
In my own time nobody knew
在我孤单的岁月里
The pain I was goin' thru
没人了解我曾经的痛苦

And waitin' was all my heart could do
我能做的唯有全心等待

Hope was all I had until you came

没有你的出现 盼望只能是盼望
Maybe you can't see how much you mean to me
也许你不知道你对我有多重要
You were the dawn breaking the night
你是打破黑夜的黎明
The promise of morning light
是晨光带来的希望
Filling the world surrounding me
充满了我周围的世界

When I hold you, baby baby, feels like maybe
拥抱你的时候 亲爱的 我感觉也许
Things will be all right
一切都会好
Baby, baby, your love's made me free as a song
亲爱的 亲爱的 你的爱让我像一首歌一样自由
Singin' forever
永远歌唱
only yesterday when I was sad and I was lonely
孤独和寂寞已经成为旧事
You showed me the way to leave the past and all it's tears behind me
你点亮了我的路 让我远离过去 不再流泪
Tomorrow may be even brighter than today
明天会比今天更加愉悦
Since I threw my sadness away only yesterday
因为就在昨天 我把悲伤扔到九霄云外

I have found my home here in your arms
在你的怀抱里我找到了归宿
Nowhere else on earth I'd really rather be
世上再没有其它的地方是我归宿
Life waits for us share it with me
生活等着我们一起分享
The best is about to be
美好生活就要来临
And so much is left for us to see
留给我们一起共赏的还有很多

When I hold you, baby baby, feels like maybe
拥抱你的时候 亲爱的 我感觉也许
Things will be all right
一切都会好
Baby, baby, your love's made me free as a song
亲爱的 亲爱的 你的爱让我像一首歌一样自由
Singin' forever
永远歌唱
only yesterday when I was sad and I was lonely
孤独和寂寞已经成为旧事
You showed me the way to leave the past and all it's tears behind me
你点亮了我的路 让我远离过去 不再流泪
Tomorrow may be even brighter than today
明天会比今天更加愉悦
Since I threw my sadness away only yesterday
因为就在昨天 我把悲伤扔到九霄云外

only yesterday

就在昨天

only yesterday when I was sad and I was lonely
就在昨天，当我孤独，当我悲伤的时候
You showed me the way to leave the past and all it's tears behind me
你为我指路，让我远离过去，不再泪流
