Yesterday when I was young_Dusty Springfield外

 

 

수 많은 스타 싱어들이 무한대로 리메이크 했던 명곡

Yesterday When I was young의 베스트 버전 세 곡을 소개합니다.

 

세 명의 싱어 모두 독특한 각각의 감각으로 불렀는데

특히 영국출신의 Blue Eyed Soul의 디바 더스티 스프링필드의 버전은 참으로 감칠 맛이 살아있다.

물론 로이 클락과 글렌캠블의 버전도 색다른 맛으로 감성을 크게 어필함은 물론이다.

 

먼저 Dusty Springfield의 약간은 재즈풍이 실린 곡..어떻게 이렇게

노래에 자신을 완전하게 실어 얹어서 불러 낼 수 있을까?

 

 

 

약간은 불량스러운 건달 표정의 독특한 목소리..쇳소리가 쩌렁 쩌렁 내부에서 울리는 듯 하다.

 

윤기넘치는 Glen Campbell의 호소력이 살아있는 곡..

 

가사 또한 가히 명품 시로 분류되어도 손색이 없을 정도이다.

 

해석은 각자의 감성대로..^^

 

 

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 always built, alas, on weak and shifting sand;

 

 I lived by night and shunned the naked light of 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 wayward 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,

 

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 too 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 are so many songs in me that won't be sung,

 

I feel the bitter taste of tears upon my tongue,

The time has come for me to pay for Yesterday

When I was Young.
