Jimmy Cliff - Hey, Mr. Yesterday [tekst, tłumaczenie i interpretacja piosenki]

Hey My Yesterday
What are doing 'bout today?
Hey My Yesterday
What are doing 'bout today?

You gonna pray
Yesterday's gone
And it's never comin' back
Comes tomorrow
You must be on the right track
So get yourself together now
You gotta find a way somehow
Make up for the time you've lost
And stop living in the past, in the past

Hey My Yesterday
What are doing 'bout today? Tell me right now
Hey My Yesterday
What are doing 'bout today?

You gonna pray
Don't you see now? Your children growing up
It's up to you now
Make a way that's not too tough
That's a cross for you to bear
That's if you're going somewhere
All your yesterdays are over
And today you're gettin' older, gettin' older

Hey My Yesterday
What are doing 'bout today? Got to know now
Hey My Yesterday
What are doing 'bout today?

You gonna pray
Yesterday's gone
And it's never comin' back
Comes tomorrow
You must be on the right track
So get yourself together now
You gotta find a way somehow
Make up for the time you've lost
And stop living in the past, in the past

Hey My Yesterday
Hey My Yesterday, get yourself together now
Hey My Yesterday, got to find a way somehow
Hey My Yesterday...
