· Yárë - Yesterday ·
Non-literal poetic Quenya translation
Yáre, ilye tarsanyar vahaiar cenine
Sí ta cenina te nár sí nie
Ai, annan estel yáren
Tyelca, umin per i nér nén mi vanwie
Ea leo or ni telta
Ai, yáre tulle tyelca
Manan autanes *
Ú-istan umeris quete
Quenten mistana nat,
Sí milyan yáre
Yáre, melme né iltarya tyalie
Sí mauran men nurtie
Ai, annan estel yáren
Manan autanes *
Ú-istan umeris quete
Quenten mistana nat,
Sí milyan yáre
Yáre, melme né iltarya tyalie
Sí mauran men nurtie
Ai, annan estel yáren
Mm mm mm mm mm
(* here I had to change the meaning for saving the metre, although the Beatles were beat-less...)
English source, by The Beatles
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
