Persian Love Song

[Persian:] Migan asbet rafighe rooze jange Mo migooyom azoo behtar tofange Svaare bi tofang ghodrat nadaare Svaar vaghti tofang daare svaare Tofange daste noghream raa forookhtam Baraaye del ghabaaye terme dookhtam Ferestaadom baraayom pas ferestaad Tofange daste noghream daad-o-bidaad [English:] [the silver-stock gun] They say your charger is your pal on the day of battle I say even better is a gun A cavalryman without a gun is without vigour A cavalryman is one when he's got a gun I sold my silver-stock gun Sewed a Termeh frock for my love Sent it to her, she returned it to me My silver-stock gun... [Termeh is a Persian textile] [The very last phrase "daad-o-bidaad" is impossible to translate, it expresses deep regret for something lost]
