Comparison of music and translation

Yesterday (оригинал The Beatles) Yesterday, all my troubles seemed so far away Now it look as though they're here to stay Oh, I believe in yesterday Suddenly, I'm not half the man I used to be There's a shadow hanging over me Oh, yesterday came suddenly Chorus: Why she had to go I don't know, she wouldn't say I said something wrong, now I long for yesterday Yesterday, love was such an easy game to play Now I need a place to hide away Oh, I believe in yesterday

Перевод Вчера (перевод) Вчера все мои проблемы казались такими далекими, А сегодня я не представляю своей жизни без них. О, я верю во вчерашний день. Неожиданно я стал уже не тем, кем был раньше, Надо мной нависла тень, О, вчера настало так внезапно Припев: Почему ей пришлось уйти? Не знаю, она не сказала, Я сказал что-то не то… Я так хочу вернуться во вчерашний день. Вчера любовь была такой простой игрой, А сегодня я вынужден прятаться, О, я верю во вчерашний день

Feelings from their music

The band also began to be noticed by serious music critics. On 23 December 1963, The Times music critic William Mann published an essay extolling The Beatles' compositions, including their "fresh and euphonious" guitars in "Till There Was You", their "submediant switches from C major into A flat major", and the "octave ascent" in "I Want to Hold Your Hand".[50] The Beatles themselves were perplexed by this analysis by Mann: "...one gets the impression that they think simultaneously of harmony and melody, so firmly are the major tonic sevenths and ninths built into their tunes, and the flat-submediant key-switches, so natural is the Aeolian cadence at the end of 'Not a Second Time' (the chord progression which ends Mahler's 'Song of the Earth')." Beatles used complex mix of ballad, R&B, soul, and world music The Beatles' constant demands to create new sounds on every new recording. The Beatles continued to absorb influences long after their initial success, often finding new musical and lyrical avenues by listening to their contemporaries.
