Original Lyrics
Translation in Turkish
verse
Time it was
Zaman öyleydi
And what a time it was
Ve ne zaman öyleydi
It was a time of innocence
Bir masumiyet zamanı
A time of confidences
Bir sırlar zamanı
Long ago, it must be
Uzun zaman önce olmalı
I have a photograph
Bir fotoğrafım var
Preserve your memories
Anılarını koru
They′re all that's left you
Sanden kalanlar sadece onlar
Writer(s): Paul Simon
