it was a very good year

• sozleri mukemmel $arki. hayatin her doneminde a$ki tanimladiktan sonra, ayni tanimi bu sefer hayatini $araba benzeterek sanki $arap hakkinda yorum yaparcasina kullaniyor, "cok iyi bir seneydi".
• "very", "pretty" yetmeyince vektör 5'i çıktı bunların.
• güzel bir frank sinatra şarkısı. ingilizce "ben onyedi yaşımdayken" anlamına gelir.^*
  
  when i was seventeen
  it was a very good year
  it was a very good year for small town girls
  and soft summer nights
  we'd hide from the lights
  on the village green
  when i was seventeen
  
  when i was twenty-one
  it was a very good year
  it was a very good year for city girls
  who lived up the stair
  with all that perfumed hair
  and it came undone
  when i was twenty-one
  
  when i was thirty-five
  it was a very good year
  it was a very good year for blue-blooded girls
  of independent means
  we'd ride in limousines
  their chauffeurs would drive
  when i was thirty-five
  
  but now the days grow short
  i'm in the autumn of the year
  and now i think of my life as vintage wine
  from fine old kegs
  from the brim to the dregs
  and it poured sweet and clear
  it was a very good year
  
  it was a mess of good years...

  when i was seventeen
  it was a very good year
  it was a very good year for small town girls
  and soft summer nights
  we’d hide from the lights
  on the village green
  when i was seventeen
  
  when i was twenty-one
  it was a very good year
  it was a very good year for city girls
  who lived up the stair
  with all that perfumed hair
  and it came undone
  when i was twenty-one
  
  when i was thirty-five
  it was a very good year
  it was a very good year for blue-blooded girls
  of independent means
  we’d ride in limousines
  their chauffeurs would drive
  when i was thirty-five
  
  but now the days grow short
  i’m in the autumn of the year
  and now i think of my life as vintage wine
  from fine old kegs
  from the brim to the dregs
  and it poured sweet and clear
  it was a very good year
  
  it was a mess of good years
