이상은 - don't say that was yesterday

노래는 과거의 아쉬움과 변화에 대한 두려움을 넘어 그녀가 다시 돌아올 것이라는 희망을 전합니다
하지만 그녀는 더 이상 어린 시절의 모습이 아니며, 과거에 얽매이지 말고 현재를 소중히 여겨야 한다고 강조합니다
결국, 다시 만날 수 있는 기회를 놓치지 말고 진솔한 감정을 표현하라는 메시지를 담고 있습니다

Don't say that was yesterday. Don't cry the changes.
Just say what you've been always wanting to tell.
Cause she's coming back to you.

Even if we live long like a turtle, it's only a hundred years, babe.
So she's coming back to be your 'marvel of Peru',
but you've got to know she's not a little girl anymore.

Maybe it's so easy to recognize her.
She's wearing your old suade jacket.
You gave it to her for the long long journey
that was seemed like endless, but now it's ended.

You can see her singing on the hill again.
She can see you laughing like the full moon again.

Don't say that was yesterday. Don't cry for the changes.
Just say what you've been always wanting to tell.
Cause she's coming back to you.

Even if you live long like a crane, it's only a hundred years, babe.
So she took the morning train to be your sun again.
You've got to know she's not a little girl anymore.

Don't say that was yesterday. Don't cry for the changes.
Just do what you've been always wanting to do.
Cause she's coming back to you.
Don't say that was yesterday. Sometimes life is funny and painful.
She always said, I'm so lucky that I've got a place to go back, anyway.

The sun is shining above you. You'd better go by now.
