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.
Mm, mm, mm, mm, mm

Je croyais
Qu'il ne pouvait plus rien m'arriver
Mais soudain que s'est-il passé
Autour de moi tout a changé
Brusquement.
Je ne suis plus l'homme que j'étais
Et je ne sais plus où je vais
Au fond de moi tout se défait.
La nuit en venant m’a laissé désemparé
En moi je le sais quelque chose s’est brisé
Je croyais
Que j’étais maître de mon destin
Mais la vie m’échappe des mains
Et je ne suis plus sûr de rien
La nuit en venant m’a laissé désemparé
En moi je le sais quelque chose s’est brisé
Je croyais
La vie un jeu facile à jouer
Mais tout est à recommencer
Autour de moi tout est changé.
