I Was at The Gates of The Bus Terminal
I was at the gates of the bus terminal, my love got on the coach123And all the passengers’ hearts melted for me
O you, who holler all the time, holler all the time
O you, who are loading that grocery truck
Oh my4, let me adore you5
Let me die for you
I’m looking for the one who stole my heart
I’m going to look for her in the city
And If you don’t want to, I’ll come back
Lift up your head so that I can see you, for God’s sake
God help me if you break the pledges, become unfaithful
I’m going to call to the city gardens6
Don’t let my soulmate from Shiraz7leave tonight
Oh my, let me adore you
Let me die for you
I’m looking for the one who stoles my heart
I’m going to look for her in the city
And If you don’t want to, I’ll come back
O God, give me the wings to fly
Let me fly toward the city gates of Shiraz
The city gate of Shiraz are closed
And my soulmate from Shiraz is behind it
Oh my, let me adore you
Let me die for you
I’m looking for the one who stoles my heart
I’m going to look for her in the city
And If you don’t want to, I’ll come back
[my love] you are leaving for Shiraz, when will you be back?
I’ll sit right at the gates of the bus terminal till you are back
My heart cries in my chest, and so do my eyes
God knows that I’m so much looking forward to your [return]
Oh my, let me adore you
Let me die for you
I’m looking for the one who stoles my heart
I’m going to look for her in the city
And If you don’t want to, I’ll come back
Hello, the white dove8[living] in my nest
You well worth the seeds I give to you
And when you sip water in each stop
[Please] think of my insane heart
Oh my, let me adore you
Let me die for you
I’m looking for the one who stoles my heart
I’m going to look for her in the city
And If you don’t want to, I’ll come back
