The Beatles在一九六五年憑《Yesterday》一曲風靡萬千歌迷，而這首歷久常新的金曲，幾十年來被翻唱的紀錄亦高得驚人，它曾先後被不同年代的歌手翻唱灌錄達三千多次。

因此，《Yesterday》一曲被MTV電視台和《滾石雜誌》，共同選為一九六三年以來史上最佳流行歌曲，的確實至名歸。

《Yesterday》英文歌詞及中譯本如下：


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, not 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.



昨天，煩惱似乎遠在天邊。

如今它們卻近在眼前。

噢，我信昨天。

忽然，我已非我。

陰影籠罩著我。

噢，昨天種種忽然心內交錯。

為何她要走，我不知，她沒明言在先。

是我說錯了話，如今懷念昨天。

昨天，戀愛是一場遊戲輕翩。

如今我需要躲離人前。

噢，我信昨天。

為何她要走，我不知，她沒明言在先。

是我說錯了話，如今懷念昨天。

昨天，戀愛是一場遊戲輕翩。

如今我需要躲離人前。

噢，我信昨天。
