Persian (Farsi) term or phrase: برگشتین به حرفهای من

This is a phrase Iranian often use when their previously voiced opinion was not heeded and now they have a reason to chide those who neglected him by using a rhetoric questions:
حالا شما برگشتین به حرف های من ؟

My own translation which I am not quite sure of, would be this: Now you've come around to what I said.

What do you think?
