My For-Educational-Use-Only Latin Language Version of Yesterday

Here is the video of my latest Latin language cover song, Yesterday (Lennon/McCartney)


Below the video you can find the lyrics, English and Latin. If you are a Latin teacher, I hope this video enlivens the language for your students. If you are not, I hope you are entertained.


Yesterday (Lennon-McCartney)
Heri


Yesterday, all my troubles seemed so far away.
Heri, omnes labores mei longe visi sunt.
Now it looks as though they're here to stay
Nunc videtur quasi hic manent.
Oh, I believe in yesterday.
Credo in diem hesternum.


Suddenly, I'm not half the man I used to be
Subito, non sum dimidius viri qui eram.
There's a shadow hanging over me.
Est umbra supra me pendens.
Oh, yesterday came suddenly
Dies hesternus venit subito.


Why she had to go I don't know, she wouldn't say
Nescio cur necesse esset ei discedere, dicere noluit.
I said something wrong, now I long for yesterday
Dixi aliquid iniuriosum, nunc diem hesternum desidero..


Yesterday, love was such an easy game to play
Heri, amor erat ludus facilis lusu
Now I need a place to hide away
Nunc latrebae opus est mihi..
Oh, I believe in yesterday.
Credo in diem hesternum.


Why she had to go I don't know, she wouldn't say
Nescio cur necesse esset ei discedere, dicere noluit.
I said something wrong, now I long for yesterday
Dixi aliquid iniuriosum, nunc diem hesternum desidero..


Yesterday, love was such an easy game to play
Heri, amor erat ludus facilis lusu
Now I need a place to hide away
Nunc latrebae opus est mihi.
Oh, I believe in yesterday.
Credo in diem hesternum.
