Paroles et traduction Kezzo - Ne Çabuk Geçtin Zaman

Ne Çabuk Geçtin Zaman

"Sokakta kim var?" diye meraklıydık ufakken
Durakta yolcu değil kaleci olurduk;
Top direkten dönerse karşı bahçenin içinden atan alır
Ya da yakalanır, sahibine o da kafalanır

Bi'kaç erik ağacı bul ve dal koparmadan bir dal ki
Öğle yemeği yemezdik biz, ağaçlarda var kiraz
Maaşlarsa dolgun artık alıp getirsin pazardan annen
Hiçbir şeyi bilmez, yeniler gezer cenabet

Oyuna davet etmek için basıp ziline rahatsız ederdi
Şimdiyse WhatsApp'dan konum atıp mahalle
Maçının hangi mahallede olduğunu haber verirler
Android gibi güncellenirler

Ki bunlar çocukluğunun değerini bilmiyorken
Benim değerimi nerden bilsinler ki?
Koşup düşsünler bi' zemini öpsünler
Salak saçma caps yapıp gülsünler

Zaman, ne çabuk geçtin zaman (oh-ooo-ohh)?
Dün beştim, bugün oldum yirmi beş
Yarın topraktayım, öbür günse tam bi' leş

Zaman, ne çabuk geçtin zaman (oh-ooo-ohh)?
Dün beştim, bugün oldum yirmi beş
Yarın topraktayım, öbür günse tam bi' leş

Bizim için teknoloji Micro Genius Atari idi
Contra, Tanks, Street Fight', luna park ve kay kay
Yamakasi sokaklarda hava kararınca toplu saklanbaç
Yağmur yağdığında kaç, eve

Okul çantamız boyumuz kadar, boynumuzda beslenme
"Bu önlükten başka yok, sakın kirletme!"
Diye gönderirdi annem okula
Sonuç hüsran, bulanmışım çamura ve duş

Gece soba üstünde ısınır su
Kalorifer falan yok, evimin içi buz
Ekmeğin üstüne biraz salça, birazcıkta tuz; sabah kahvaltısı
Size iğrenç gelir, yapar mide bulantısı

Yoktu marka takıntısı, pantolon pazardan
Nenem okur nazardan korusun diye duâlar
Benim kadar büyük değildi kocaman binalar
Yaş günümde alınan top gözümü cilalar

Zaman, ne çabuk geçtin zaman (oh-ooo-ohh)?
Dün beştim, bugün oldum yirmi beş
Yarın topraktayım, öbür günse tam bi' leş

Zaman, ne çabuk geçtin zaman (oh-ooo-ohh)?
Dün beştim, bugün oldum yirmi beş
Yarın topraktayım, öbür günse tam bi' leş

How Quickly Time Has Passed

"Who's outside there?" I was curious about when I was a little boy
We used to pretend to be goalies instead of passengers at the bus stop
If the ball bounced off the vertical goalpost, the person who fetched it from the neighbour's yard would get to keep it
Or they would get caught and get a kick from its owner

Find a few plum trees and snap off a twig without breaking the branches
We did not have lunch; there are cherries on the trees
Wages have gotten plump now; have your mom go get them from the bazaar
He does not know anything; newcomers go around looking like they've just been circumcised

He used to ring the doorbell to invite me to play
Now they send their locations on WhatsApp neighbourhood
They share the location of where their match is taking place
They update themselves like Androids

Since these kids do not appreciate their childhoods
How can they expect me to appreciate them?
May they run, fall and kiss the ground
Let them make absurd and meaningless memes and laugh

Time, how quickly you have passed (oh-ooo-ohh)?
Yesterday I was five, today I am twenty-five
Tomorrow I will be in the grave, the day after that I will be a complete corpse

Time, how quickly you have passed (oh-ooo-ohh)?
Yesterday I was five, today I am twenty-five
Tomorrow I will be in the grave, the day after that I will be a complete corpse

For us, technology was Micro Genius Atari
Contra, Tanks, Street Fight', amusement park and roller skates
Yamakasi hide-and-seek in the streets when it got dark
Run home when it starts raining

Our schoolbags were as tall as us, we had snacks around our necks
"Don't get this uniform dirty, this is all we have!"
That is what my mom would say as she sent me to school
The result was disappointing; I got covered in mud and had to take a shower

Water heats up on the stove at night
There were no things like central heating, my house was freezing
A little bit of tomato paste and salt on bread; breakfast
It might sound disgusting to you, it makes me nauseated

There was no obsession with brands, pants from the market
My grandmother reads duas to protect me from the evil eye
Buildings were not as tall as I am now
The ball I received on my birthday makes my eyes happy

Time, how quickly you have passed (oh-ooo-ohh)?
Yesterday I was five, today I am twenty-five
Tomorrow I will be in the grave, the day after that I will be a complete corpse

Time, how quickly you have passed (oh-ooo-ohh)?
Yesterday I was five, today I am twenty-five
Tomorrow I will be in the grave, the day after that I will be a complete corpse
