| I Remember, I Remember I remember, I remember The house where I was born, The little window where the sun Came peeping in at morn; He never came a wink too soon Nor brought too long a day; But now, I often wish the night Had borne my breath away. I remember, I remember The roses red and white, The violets and the lily cups-- Those flowers made of light! The lilacs where the robin built, And where my brother set The laburnum on his birthday,-- The tree is living yet! I remember, I remember Where I was used to swing, And thought the air must rush as fresh To swallows on the wing; My spirit flew in feathers then That is so heavy now, The summer pools could hardly cool The fever on my brow. I remember, I remember The fir-trees dark and high; I used to think their slender tops Were close against the sky: It was a childish ignorance, But now 'tis little joy To know I'm farther off from Heaven Than when I was a boy. |
| Hat�rl�yorum, hat�rl�yorum Hat�rl�yorum, hat�rl�yorum, Do�du�um evi, Sabahlar� g�ne�in i�eriye s�z�ld��� O k���k pencereyi; Asla �ok erken a�mazd� g�z�n� Ne de fazladan g�nd�z� uzat�rd�, Ama �imdi s�k s�k ke�ke diyorum Gece son nefesimi de alsayd�! Hat�rl�yorum, hat�rl�yorum, K�rm�z� ve beyaz g�lleri, Menek�eleri ve zambaklar�, I��ktan yap�lma o �i�ekleri! K�z�l gerdan�n kendine yuva bildi�i Ve k�z karde�imin aralar�na do�um g�n�nde Bir de sar� salk�m dikti�i leylaklar�, A�a� ya��yor bug�n de! Hat�rl�yorum, hat�rl�yorum, Nerede sal�nca�a bindi�imi Ve ser�elerin kanad�na da hava B�yle serin �arp�yordur dedi�imi; Ruhum t�y gibi u�ard� o zaman, Ama ne de a��r �imdi Ve yaz havuzlar� bile s�nd�remez Aln�mdaki ate�i! Hat�rl�yorum, hat�rl�yorum, K�knar a�ac�n�, kara ve uzundu; San�rd�m narin tepeleri G�ky�z�ne yak�n dururdu; �ocuk cahilli�iymi�, Ama �imdi nerede ne�e Bilirken �ocuklu�umdan Daha uzak oldu�umu cennete. �eviri: Serdar U�ar |
