(Serge Gainsbourg)

Yesterday Yes a day, like any day
Alone again for every day, seemed the same sad way
To pass the day, the sun went down without me
Suddenly someone else has touched my shadow, he said: Hello

Yesterday Yes a day, like any day
Alone again for every day, seemed the same sad way
He tried to say, what did you do without me
Why are you crying alone on your shadow ? He said "I know"

Yesterday Yes a day, like any day
Alone again for every day, seemed the same sad way
To pass the day, the sun went down without you
Falling me in his arms, I become a shadow, he said "Let's go"

Yesterday Yes a day, like any day
Alone again for every day, seemed the same sad way
To pass the day, living my life without him
Don't let him go away, he's found my shadow, don't let him go

Yesterday Yes a day, but today
No I don't care, if others say it's the same sad way
To pass the day, cause they all live without it
Without making love in the shadows.
