Translation of the song کویر artist Googoosh
کویر
Desert
man kaviram ey khoda
I'm a desert, O God
bah hasrateh yeh gatereh aab
Yearning for a drop of water
yeh omreh keh daryaroh
For a life's time I've been seeing the sea
az door mibinam to sahra
from a distance, in the desert
bahar barom yeh esmeh
Spring to me is just a name
yeh esmeh kohneh tou ketab
an old name from the books
harfeh man ba asemoon
Why are my prayers to heavens
chera mimooneh be javab
left unanswered?
khodayah, khodayah
O God, O God
kaviram, kaviram
I'm a desert, I'm a desert
begoo abr, bebareh, mikham joon begiram
Tell the clouds to rain, I want to be revived
ageh baroon bebareh, ageh baron bebareh
If it rains, if it rains,
aroom aroom o nam nam
slowly and lightly
roo labeh khoshkeh teshnam
on my thirsty, dry lips
een sooyeh sabseh jangal
the green side of jungle
tanamoh mipooshooneh
will cover my body
parandeh roo derakhtah
the birds will nest
misazeh ashiuneh
on branches
khodayah, khodayah
O God, O God
kaviram, kaviram
I'm a desert, I'm a desert
begoo abr, bebareh, mikham joon begiram
Tell the clouds to rain, I want to be revived
ageh baroon bebareh, ageh baron bebareh
If it rains, if it rains,
aroom aroom o nam nam
slowly and lightly
roo labeh khoshkeh teshnam
on my thirsty, dry lips
een sooyeh sabseh jangal
the green side of jungle
tanamoh mipooshooneh
will cover my body
parandeh roo derakhtah
the birds will nest
misazeh ashiuneh
on branches
khodayah, khodayah...........................................
O God, O God...
