Here’s a translated and paraphrased version of the text:

  • A generation that walked to school and back on foot.

  • A generation that quickly did their homework just to go outside and play.

  • A generation where boys played soccer with goals made of stones, while girls played jump rope or marbles.

  • A generation that spent all its free time outside in the streets.

  • A generation that played hide-and-seek until it got dark.

  • A generation that handmade paper chains to decorate for holidays.

  • A generation that collected photos, created handwritten dictionaries, and kept memory books in school.

  • We are the generation that watched our dads fix the TV, and even helped adjust the antenna.

  • A generation that had parents, not elderly grandparents.

  • A generation that whispered and laughed quietly at night, so our parents wouldn’t know we were still awake.

  • A generation that shared drinks and school snacks with each other.

  • A generation that went inside as soon as night fell, leaving the game behind.

  • A generation that dropped by friends’ houses unannounced, even if the group reached ten people.

  • A generation that met up every day at a specific place, without the use of cell phones.

  • A generation where authority came from both your parents and your friends’ parents.

  • A generation that greeted everyone on the bus and helped elderly people.

  • A generation that secretly picked fruit from trees in neighbors’ yards.

  • A generation that valued feelings over money or cars.

  • A generation that learned to face challenges, no matter the situation, with its own strength.

  • A generation that wasn’t easily manipulated in its daily life (not politically).

  • A generation that learned to love its country.

  • A generation that read books under a lamp and blanket.

  • A generation where boys addressed girls with respect, saying, “Excuse me, could I have a minute?”

  • A generation that has passed, and sadly, will never return!

  • A poor generation that had nothing material, but felt rich in everything that mattered!
