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

No rancho fundo, bem prá lá do fim do mundo
Onde a dor e a saudade, contam coisas da cidade…
No rancho fundo, de olhar triste e profundo
Um moreno canta as máguas, tendo os olhos rasos d’água

Pobre moreno, que de noite no sereno
Espera a lua no terreiro, tendo um cigarro
Por companheiro…

Sem um aceno, ele pega na viola
E a lua por esmola, vem pro quintal
Desse moreno…

Why she had to go I don’t know, she wouldn’t say
I said something wrong now I long for yesterday
Ay ay ay, yesterday
