The Ramones - My Back Pages

Crimson flames tied through my ears
Kirmizi alevler kulaklarima bagli
Rollin' high and mighty traps
Yuksek ve guclu tuzaklarda yuvarlaniyorum
Pounced with fire on flaming roads
Yanan yollarda atesle atildim
Using ideas as my maps
Haritalari fikirler olarak kullandim
"We'll meet on edges, soon," said I
"Uclarda bulusuruz yakinda" dedim
Proud 'neath heated brow.
Sicak kenar altinda olmaktan gururluyum
Ah, but I was so much older then,
Ama cok daha yasliydim o zaman
I'm younger than that now.
Ondan daha gencim simdi
Half-wracked prejudice leaped forth
Yari yikik on yargi onde gitti
"Rip down all hate," I screamed
"Tum nefreti yik" diye bagirdim
Lies that life is black and white
Hayatin siyah ve beyaz oldugunun yalani
Spoke from my skull. I dreamed
Iskeletimden konustum hayal ettim
Romantic facts of musketeers
Silahsorlerin Romantik gercekleri
Foundationed deep, somehow.
Kurulmus derin nasilsa
Ah, but I was so much older then,
Ama cok daha yasliydim o zaman
I'm younger than that now.
Ondan daha gencim simdi In a soldier's stance, I aimed my hand
Askerin tutumunda, elimi gosterdim
At the mongrel dogs who teach
Melez kopekler egitilirken
Fearing not that I'd become my enemy
Kendimin dusmani olmamdan korkmadan
In the instant that I preach
Karmasiklikta ogretiyorum
My pathway led by confusion boats
Patikam karmasiklik gemisiyle yoneldi
Mutiny from stern to bow.
Sessizlik geliyor
Ah, but I was so much older then,
Ama cok daha yasliydim o zaman
I'm younger than that now.
Ondan daha gencim simdi
Yes, my guard stood hard when abstract threats
Evet gardim sert durdu soyut tehlikede
Too noble to neglect
Umursamamak icin fazla asil
Deceived me into thinking
Beni dusunmeye ikna etti
I had something to protect
Good and bad, I define these terms
Iyi kotu bu gercekleri acikliyorum
Quite clear, no doubt, somehow.
Cok acikca suphe yok nasilsa
Ah, but I was so much older then,
Ama cok daha yasliydim o zaman
I'm younger than that now.
Ondan daha gencim simdi
