Frank Sinatra - Last Night When We Were Young
LAST NIGHT WHEN WE WERE YOUNG LYRICS - HAROLD ARLEN
Last night when we were young
Love was a star, a song unsung
Life was so new, so real so right
Ages ago last night
僕達が若かったあの最後の夜
恋は星、知られていない歌だった
人生は、何処までも未知、純然たる現実、悉く申し分のないものだった
随分前、あの最後の夜
Today the world is old
You flew away and time grew cold
Where is that star that seemed so bright
Ages ago last night?
今世界はくすんでいる
君は飛び去り、時代は寒々として来た
随分前、あの最後の夜、あんなに輝いて見えた一人のスターは
何処にいるのだろう？
To think that spring had depended
On merely this: a look, a kiss
To think that something so splendid
Could slip away in one little daybreak
青春が単に次の事、外観や接吻次第であると考える為に
何かとても素敵なものであると思う為に
何時か何でもない夜明けにそっと立ち去る事も出来た
So now, let's reminisce
And recollect the sighs and the kisses
The arms that clung
When we were young last night
だから直ぐに、思い出してほしい
そしてその時、吐息や接吻、あの僕達が若かった夜、しがみ付いた腕を思い出してほしい

Last Night When We Were Young
"Last Night When We Were Young" is a 1935 popular song composed by Harold Arlen, with lyrics by Yip Harburg. Arlen regarded it as the favourite of the songs that he had written.
Lawrence Tibbett recorded the song on October 9, 1935.
It was cut from his film Metropolitan but performed instrumentally behind the credits.
"Last Night When We Were Young" was highly regarded by Judy Garland, who recorded it twice, and frequently performed it.
Composer Alec Wilder called it a "most remarkable and beautiful song" that "goes far beyond the boundaries of popular music."
Continuing, he stated that "it is unlike any other Arlen song that I have heard.
However, it is unmistakably his."
Harburg did not know where he acquired the title, saying, "the juxtaposition of those two phrases is almost a whole world of philosophy".
Metropolitan is a 1935 back-stage drama film interlaced with songs and musical segments from opera.
