Went Good

Versions: #1
The road tonight is leading me to you
Taking me to the captivity of your (beautiful) hair
Your beautiful deer like eyes make me feel like Laila* and Majnoon* sometimes
I'm carrying you on my shoulders or/and you seduce me with (the beauty of) your hair (sometimes)
I have conceived (many) wounds but it is the wound of love that has brought me to you
Good that my pains are cured (by)
Falling in love with you
 
MAJNOON* Insane, a man completely lost in love of someone/thing
 
LAILA* The beloved
 

Life in Black

[Verse 1]
I don't want your words of love, why are you following me around?
You can feel my pulse, you don't do anything to me
You want this, you want that, but I have nothing for you
And since you've been here, I feel sorry for myself
 
[Chorus]
When she takes me in her arms, I see life in black
And why are you whispering to me? Who do you think I am, what do you think I am?
I don't like your manners, madam or miss, I see life in black
 
[Verse 2]
Everyone knows you Paris, stop playing the actress
And when your tongue loosens, it's not to make a French kiss
Olala, olala, if only that was all there was
Look at me and say goodbye
 
[Chorus]
When she takes me in her arms, I see life in black
And why are you whispering to me? Who do you think I am, what do you think I am?
I don't like your manners, madam or miss, I see life in black
 
[Bridge]
Tell me, tell me, I've been seeing you for ten months now
And tell me what I have to do to get you away from me
Problems come from you, your sorrows, keep them to yourself
You're all alone, well done for you
Or maybe it comes from me and that's life and that's the way it is
I'm all alone, well done for me
 
[Chorus]
When she takes me in her arms, I see life in black
And why are you whispering to me? Who do you think I am, what do you think I am?
I don't like your manners, madam or miss, I see life in black
 

Kinder than a leaf

'Kinder than a leaf'
O you who is kinder than the tenderness of a leaf in the rain and who shines like the reflection of starlight in rivers.
Your gaze, which shines like a mirror, seems to combine the light of the morning with the beauty of the beach and your occasional smile is as beautiful as the morning star.
Come back because of your love, my mad silence has induced the stone of the mountain to moan?
O Beloved, who runs like a river!
Do not go from the shadow of this leaf, because in doing that many people have lost the opportunity to fall in love.
You said, 'Love has been created in the heart over time.' I said, 'This love can never be forgotten over time.'
Before you and me, many people fell in love and painted it as a picture on the wall of life and left it as a memory.
The song of love will remain after you and me as long as the sound of wind and rain remains in the world.

Kohl Lined Eyes

That wicked (cruel) man was gazing at me,in such a way,around the corner
As if,pointing my heart with a dagger(knife)
And the gossip(controversy)begins
 
Such a mess(complication)
 
I lost all my peace in life
Oh boy(cruel) don’t gaze at me like this
I lost all my peace in life
Oh boy(cruel) don’t gaze at me like this
People of your own town are suffering so much (because of you)

All your promises were written with *soorma,coming through eyes

Your conversations smell of **Kimam

The Adventure of Love

The sky of our world was left without stars
The adventure of our love was left unfinished
You left and I still can't believe it
I can't believe this heavy silence
 
I'm thinking about what's going on in your mind
That you grew tired of forgetting about me
To what or to whom have you become attached?
I'm thinking about what's going on in your mind
That you grew tired of forgetting about me
To what or to whom have you become attached?
 
Whoever asks how you are doing, I tell them you are fine and we are still together
I tell that lie so much so you might hear and come back one day
Whoever asks how you are doing, I tell them you are fine and we are still together

That you grew tired of forgetting about me
To what or to whom have you become attached?

I have little (time) left to pamper you
To fix my soul
To (be able to) let go
And that wind takes everything
That you don’t exist anymore
 
Your gaze (The way you look at me) is dimming
& that time heals all wounds…
it’s not true
& that the moon is made of cheese…
it’s not true
 
I think I hear your voice in the corral
I don’t want to be alive… nor dead (dead x2)
Being in front of you, I couldn’t react
You started to erase yourself like a memory
(slow x2)
 
Give me a signal
Just one reason, to fix my soul
So that I can heal
Because I feel it’s not true, that you don’t exist anymore
My gaze is dimming
I want to be able to let go
 
Time heals all wounds
it’s not true
& that the moon is made of cheese
it’s not true
 
I think I hear your voice in the corral
I don’t want to be alive… nor dead (dead x2)
Being in front of you, I couldn’t react
You started to erase yourself like a memory

Green birdy

Green birdy, how don´t you want for me to cry
Green birdy, how am I not to cry
Ay, ay, ay, ay, with only one life is enough
green birdy, and they want to take it away from me
 
Green birdy, how don´t you want for me to cry
Green birdy, how am I not to cry
Ay, ay, ay, ay, if the grasshoppers they take away from me
green birdy, they attach them to me again
 
Green birdy, if the indian for more than he knows
Green birdy, he always says the less of him
Ay, ay, ay, ay give the spoon
green birdy, it's on the spoon hanger
 
Green birdy, yesterday you went to cut wood
green birdy, you passed by my orchard
Ay, ay, ay, ay, and everybody knew
green birdy, for your bad companion
 
Green birdy, What the indian can give you?
green birdy, as much as you love him
Ay, ay, ay, ay, a trap for crabs
green birdy, and that will be when it rains
 

My Little Bird Flies Away

My little bird flies away,
He left us here!
He went away when he was very young,
He flew and moved away...
 
That's why I sing with emotion
My inspiration:
It's is for my little bird,
And I sing it with much love.
 
He flew away and wept,
Leaving sorrow and pain behind...
I pray to God for your return, with all my heart!
 
[Fugue:]
He left crying and flew away
As distant lands were awaiting him,
And my song faltered
As my heart broke.
 
He left us so many memories
In our minds, in our hearts...
I pray to God
That one day we'll meet again, my little bird!
 
My little bird, come back soon:
You're my life and my inspiration!
Please, I'm begging you to return....
Never forget our love!
 

I'm Nothing at all

I'm neither angel nor devil, Who am I? What am I? I am this
I'm not from wind, not from fire, so I'm descended from the earth
It's me and the light of wisdom that dies from the breeze
There's no daylight in my hands, no star on my forehead
It's me and the tight cloak that didn't fit anyone but me
There's no heaven at my doorway, there's no god in my sleeve
I'm not just, I'm not unjust, I'm not evil, nor absolute good
I'm black and white, multicolored, I'm a mix of good and bad
I'm a warm kiss for that lip, it is tonight's trophy
I'm unaware of what waits to ambush me tomorrow
It's me and the tight cloak that didn't fit anyone but me
There's no heaven at my doorway, there's no god in my sleeve
I don't put salt on the wound, it's an eternal burden
I'm not a tired beginning, not a spoiled ending
I'm neither angel nor devil
 

Our Shah (King) Has Gone On a Trip (One of the Oldest Persian Songs of Qajar Dynasty)

O Fellow Persian Countrymen, Say Prayers,
For the Shah (King) of Persia to be robust,
God willing to be robust,
 
Aye, our Shah has gone on a trip,
Aye, our moon has gone on a trip,
Aye, His trip be wholly a safe one,
 
You're the grass seed, I'm your devotee,
You're my beloved, I'm amazed by you,
 
It'll be that tomorrow....he's in my heart,
Wherever he is, God may keep my beloved safe and sound,
 
Our Shah has gone on a trip,
Our moon has gone on a trip,
His trip be wholly a safe one,
 
You're the grass seed, I'm your devotee,
You're my beloved, I'm amazed by you.

Traveling

Traveling
Down your pores
Is not the air what makes me talk
Is your smile
Traveling
Is not the air what makes me talk
Is your smile
 
And I'll wander
Sowing in the shore
And in the come back
My sharp tongue
Will be able to prune the false
 
Traveling
Down your blood
Is not the soft what makes me tremble
Is your smile
Traveling
Is not the soft what makes me tremble
Is your smile
 
And I'll wander
Sowing in the shore
And in the come back
My sharp tongue
Will be able to prune the false
All the false

I am the bird's friend

I'm will sing these couplets
to name the singer,
his name is Juancho Chiviro***
and he sings in such a spectacular way.
 
He wakes me up in the morning,
he announces that it dawned,
and he keeps singing
while waiting for his portion.
 
Chorus
I am the bird's friend
but without a cage, sir,
I have a bustling backyard
where I prepare mate* with love.
 
The ugly bug (bird) screams***-,
the cardinal***- sings,
the skylark***- whistles,
the thrush***- sings.
 
I am the bird's friend
but without a cage, sir.
 
I tamed them without haste
with the leftovers of the tablecloth,
the chiviro*** was the first
and then all (of the other birds) after him.
 
There are those that in a cage
want to lock up the singing (of a bird),
but in prison no one sings,
one can only weep.
 

Little River Bird

Little bird, little bird
little river bird
what pretty eyes you have,
it's a shame they have an owner.
 
What little bird is that,
That sings in that lime tree?
Go tell him not to sing,
that it hurts my heart.
 
What little bird is that,
that sings in that fig tree?
Go tell him not to sing,
to wait until I die.
 
Take this little gold key,
Open my chest and you will see
How much I love you
and how badly you treat me.
 
Take this little gold box,
look at what it carries inside.
It carries jealousy, it carries sorrows,
and a litte bit of sentiment.
 
Now with this I say goodbye.
With my saddened soul
I sang you the sorrows
and hardships of my life.
 

If You Abandoned me

If you abandoned me, then who will be there for me?
And who will make me all beautiful?
And who will be there for my soul and my comfort?
You are the most of me and the least of me
 
You are all of my entirety
So be mine
If you won't be mine, then who will be there for me?
 
You are all of my entirety
And all my people at times of isolation and humiliation
I have nothing but my soul
Take it, the soul is all the poor possesses
 
You are all of my entirety
So be mine
If you won't be mine, then who will be there for me?
 
Let me know if you have any questions about my translation. Good luck.

Just Like the Moon

Until we relax,
Until the sun returns to light up our faces,
For now each gust of wind takes me someplace new,
It's difficult to know what is more,
 
Going beyond for you,
Until you return to gaze at me like before,
The winds have calmed, come place your day on my shoulders,
Take my hand,
Tell me,
 
Just like the moon,
I have no light of my own,
From your bright rays I will learn to shine,
And if I am to shine,
I have no light of my own,
From your bright rays I will learn to shine,
In your pure light that washes over me,
 
Here comes the end of another day,
And at the corner of my eye they wait,
Sparks of battle that won't erupt until tomorrow,
And until then I am neither here nor there.

Voices of Hiroshima's Birds

Aaaah... Aah...
 
- Where? Where are they?
 
- Who?
 
- Where are they?
 
- Who? Who?
 
- Men!
 
- I don't know...
 
- Look! Ash flakes! Ash flakes...! Ashes... Ashes...
 
- They've all flown away!
 
- But where? Where to?
 
- I don't know...!
 
- Let's build a nest...! Yes, a nest...
 
- But where? Where? Where...?

Get out of the world

Close the door, I don't want to be seen.
Today, I'm not interested in what's outside there.
Today, I'll caress myself.
Today, I want to be a part of my fable.
 
Step by step, and walking backwards,
I plunge into the waters of darkness.
Orange, brown, blue and yellow,
I discover a leopard in my pockets.
 
Lying on the bed,
I have more space.
I lift my legs, my arms crossed.
I let my elephants grow up,
they go through my knees, because...
 
Today, I want to get out of the world (she wants)
Today, I want to get out of the world (she wants)
Today, I want to get out, get out of the world.
Today, I want to explode, to reinvent me and get out.
 
Every wall is a continent,
every corner is an option,
every dress is a character,
every flower is a song.
 
Scattered photos with fairies shooting laughs, winks and looks.
The mewing cat climbed that sad and thin half moon.
Walking silhouettes, fixing broken music boxes.
And that fat monkey that smokes hookaj asks me dissapointed why...
 
Today, I want to get out of the world (she wants)
Today, I want to get out of the world (she wants)
Today, I want to get out, get out of the world.
Today, I want to explode, to reinvent me and get out.
 
Traped in the center of the faded spiral,
I will fall asleep.
Tomorrow will be another day...
 

The little black bird

Since I was little
I have a little black bird
identical to my dad's
similar to my grandpa's
 
That thrush of my grandpa
my grandma used to say
'it sang everyday
now it no longer sings
sometimes in the summer
wants to tune a melody
but it silences already
because it doesn't have the voice'
 
Mrs Juana complained
about his husband Mr Tomas
because she says that to other cage
he takes the bird to sing
and when he brings it back
and she wants to listen it
she finds it very apathetic
and with lack of will.
 
With mine there are no issues
it likes to work
wherever they ask it
it always starts singing
if my girlfriend asks it
it sings with passion
and when I'm alone
I make it sing for me

Caged Bird

Esmeralda:
No caged bird
Will ever be able to fly again
No ill-treated child
Will ever be able to love again
Like a swallow
I emigrated in the summer
Running again along the paths
With the Romani song
Where is my bell-ringer?
Where is my Quasimodo?
Come and break these bars
Save me from this cord
 
Quasimodo:
Where are you, my Esmeralda?
Why do you run away from me?
It's already been at least three days
That you haven't come by here
Maybe you set out on a trip
With your seductive soldier
Without courtship, without a wedding
As pagans do
Or maybe you're already dead
Without orations, without a crown
Don't let more then one priest
Get close to your person
 
Esmeralda:
I still remember that festival
 
Quasimodo:
That day I was a king
 
Esmeralda:
You asked me for fresh water
 
Quasimodo:
And I surrendered at your feet
 
Both:
Something surged between us
Friendship for life and death
What happens between the two of us
Is more than love, it's stronger
 
Quasimodo:
No caged bird
Will ever be able to fly again
 
Esmeralda:
No ill-treated child
 
Both:
Will ever be able to love again
