Once upon a time I would be impressed 曾几何时，我会留下深刻的印象

Once upon a time my life would be obsessed 曾几何时我的生活会痴迷

Once upon a time, once upon a day when 曾几何时，在每天一次，

I was in my prime, once along the way 我在我的全盛时期，曾经一路走来

If you want to know my secret don't come runnin' after me 如果你想知道我的秘密后，我不飞奔而来

For I am just a painter passing through in history 因为我只是一个画家在历史上通过

   

Yesterday is gone, yesterday's alright 昨天已经过去，昨天是正常的

Yesterday belongs in my dreams at night 昨天是属于我的梦想，晚上

Yesterday is swell, yesterday is great 昨天是胀大，昨天是伟大的

Yesterday is strong, remembering can wait 昨天是强大的，记住可以等待

Once upon a time, once upon a day when 曾几何时，在每天一次，

I was in my prime, once along the way 我在我的全盛时期，曾经一路走来

   

If you want to know an answer I can't turn your life around 如果你想知道答案，我不能改变你的生活

I was in my stride, always at my game 我是在我的脚步，总是在我的游戏

Here comes mister cool, along the walk of fame 这里说到的老总冷静，沿着星光大道

I was in demand, always in control 我当时的需求，总是在控制

The world was in my hands, my touch had turn to gold 世界在我手中，我接触过点石成金

Once upon a time, I was in a daze when 曾几何时，我是在发呆的时候

I was in my prime, once along the way 我在我的全盛时期，曾经一路走来

Now that I am old, let me rest a spell 现在我老了，让我休息一拼

All that I am told, I can never tell 所有这一切有人告诉我，我永远无法知道

Never in my life, never will it pass 从来没有在我的生活中，从来没有将它传递

I am still alone, remembering at last 我还是独自一人，记得在去年

Once upon a time, once upon a day when 曾几何时，在每天一次，

I was in my prime, once along the way 我在我的全盛时期，曾经一路走来

   

If you want to know an answer I can't turn your life around 如果你想知道答案，我不能改变你的生活
