Yesterday是The Beatles在1965年8月6日发行的一首巴洛克流行风格歌曲，作词、作曲、演唱：保罗·麦卡特尼。歌曲的旋律灵感来自于保罗·麦卡特尼的梦，一日清晨，保罗醒来脑海中总是有一段完整的旋律挥之不去，作为音乐人的他立刻走到钢琴旁把脑海中的旋律弹奏出来并且用录音机记录下来。一开始保罗以为这段旋律是他无意中听别人弹奏自己记住了而已，于是他花了好几周的时间把这段旋律弹奏给身边的亲朋好友们，想知道这段旋律的出处，但没有人知道这段旋律，这时保罗终于可以确定这段旋律是自己的原创了，于是才开始着手填词。2000年，该曲在《滚石》杂志与音乐电视网联合评选的 “自1963年以来最伟大的100首流行歌曲”中排行第一。
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
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
昨天，一切烦恼仿佛远在天边
可我如今却忧心忡忡
哦，我宁愿相信昨天
刹那间，我不再是从前的我
她的身影总挥之不去
哦，往昔在脑海浮现
为何她不辞而别，姗然离去
一定是我说错了什么，我只好静静等待昨天
昨天，爱情本是如此简单
我如今却渴望逃避
哦，我宁愿相信昨天
为何她不辞而别，姗然离去
一定是我说错了什么，我只好静静等待昨天
昨天，爱情本是如此简单
而我如今却渴望逃避
哦，我宁愿相信昨天
嗯嗯嗯
