Yesterday When I Was Young

 

 

 

 

 

어제는 나의 어린 날이다
가슴 벅찬 스무 살의 햇살 겨운 그 어느 봄날이나
서른 즈음의 그 푸른 아름다움이나
어제는 항상 나의 어린 날이었다
항상 물구나무를 선 듯 어지럽고 낯선 일상이 두려웠지만
내 어린 어깨를 두드려주던 사람들,
그 둘레에 기댄 내 키가 한 뼘 쯤 커지는 것 같던 어제가
나의 어린 날이었다
그리움은 그런 어린 날들 한가운데 모여 있다
내가 말하고 되뇌이던 얼굴들
내 어린 날의 깊은 마음, 마르지 않는 추억의 심연,
나를 사랑하던 사람들에게 다시 손을 흔들어주고 싶다

Seems the love I've known has always been
The most destructive kind
Yes, that's why now I feel so old
Before my time.

Yesterday when I was young
The taste of life was sweet as rain upon my tongue
I teased at life as if it were a foolish game,
The way the evening breeze may tease a candle flame.
The thousand dreams I dreamed, the splendid things I planned
I'd always built to last on weak and shifting sand.
I lived by night and shunned the naked light of the day
And only now I see how the years ran away.

Yesterday when I was young
So many happy songs were waiting to be sung,
So many wild pleasures lay in store for me
And so much pain my dazzled eyes refused to see
I ran so fast that time and youth at last ran out,
I never stopped to think what life was all about
And every conversation I can now recall
Concerned itself with me and nothing else at all.

Yesterday the moon was blue
And every crazy day brought something new to do,
And I used my magic age as if it were a wand
And never saw the waste and emptiness beyond,
The game of love I played with arrogance and pride
And every flame I lit so quickly, quickly died
The friends I made all seemed, somehow, to drift away
And only I am left on stage to end the play.

There were so many songs that waited to be sung,
I feel the bitter taste of tears upon my tongue
And the time has come for me to pay for yesterday
When I was young.
