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.
