My Back Pages by Ramones
Lyrics & Translation
English
Crimson flames tied through my ears
Rollin' high and mighty traps
Pounced with fire on flaming roads
Using ideas as my maps
"We'll meet on edges, soon," said I
Proud 'neath heated brow.
Ah, but I was so much older then,
I'm younger than that now.
Half-wracked prejudice leaped forth
"Rip down all hate," I screamed
Lies that life is black and white
Spoke from my skull. I dreamed
Romantic facts of musketeers
Foundationed deep, somehow.
Ah, but I was so much older then,
I'm younger than that now.
In a soldier's stance, I aimed my hand
At the mongrel dogs who teach
Fearing not that I'd become my enemy
In the instant that I preach
My pathway led by confusion boats
Mutiny from stern to bow.
Ah, but I was so much older then,
I'm younger than that now.
Yes, my guard stood hard when abstract threats
Too noble to neglect
Deceived me into thinking
I had something to protect
Good and bad, I define these terms
Quite clear, no doubt, somehow.
Ah, but I was so much older then,
I'm younger than that now.

Crimson flames tied through my ears
Rollin' high and mighty traps
Pounced with fire on flaming roads
Using ideas as my maps
"We'll meet on edges, soon," said I
Proud 'neath heated brow.
Ah, but I was so much older then,
I'm younger than that now.
Half-wracked prejudice leaped forth
"Rip down all hate," I screamed
Lies that life is black and white
Spoke from my skull. I dreamed
Romantic facts of musketeers
Foundationed deep, somehow.
Ah, but I was so much older then,
I'm younger than that now.

Fearing not that I'd become my enemy
In the instant that I preach

My Back Pages (traducción LyricVerse Team)
Llamas carmesí atadas a mis oídos
Rodando trampas altas y poderosas
Salté con fuego en caminos en llamas
Usando ideas como mis mapas
"Nos encontraremos en los límites, pronto," dije
Orgulloso bajo la frente acalorada.
Ah, pero era mucho más viejo entonces,
Soy más joven que eso ahora.
El prejuicio medio destrozado saltó
"Derriben todo el odio," grité
Mentiras de que la vida es blanco y negro
Hablaron desde mi cráneo. Soñé
Hechos románticos de mosqueteros
Fundamentados profundamente, de alguna manera.
Ah, pero era mucho más viejo entonces,
Soy más joven que eso ahora.
En postura de soldado, apunté mi mano
A los perros mestizos que enseñan
Sin temer que me convertiría en mi enemigo
En el instante en que predico
Mi camino guiado por barcos de confusión
Motín de popa a proa.
Ah, pero era mucho más viejo entonces,
Soy más joven que eso ahora.
Sí, mi guardia se mantuvo firme cuando amenazas abstractas
Demasiado nobles para descuidar
Me engañaron haciéndome pensar
Que tenía algo que proteger
Bueno y malo, defino estos términos
Bastante claro, sin duda, de alguna manera.
Ah, pero era mucho más viejo entonces,
Soy más joven que eso ahora.
