Translation of the song نون و دلقک artist Mohammad Esfahani

به زمین خوردن دلقک

if the clown falls down

یا در آوردن شکلک

or makes faces

واسه اینه که تو بخندی

it's to make you laugh

مثل رسم شاه و تلخک

like the old story of king and his joker

کفشای لنگه به لنگه

he wears his shoes ill-matched

می پوشه که هی بلنگه

to keep him limping

پای راستش میده جفت پا

he uses his right foot

تا پای چپش بلنگه

to make his left one limp

(x2)

(x2)

واسه نون ،واسه نونه

it's for a bread, for a bread (money)

تا به کارش تو بخندی

to make you laugh at him

که اگه اینو بدونی

and if you understand this,

تو به دلقک نمی خندی

you will not laugh at the clown

تو به دلقک نمی خندی

you will not laugh at the clown

♫♫♫

music

(x2)

کفشای لنگه به لنگه

he wears his shoes ill-matched

می پوشه که هی بلنگه

to keep him limping

مى دونه که هر چی سنگه همه پیش پای لنگه

he knows that all the rocks are on the way of the lame (difficulties are for those who are already in enough trouble)

(x2)

(x2)

پشت این چهره خندون

behind this laughing face

اون همیشه غصه داره

he hides his sorrows always

این همه شکلک و بازی

he makes all these faces and games

واسه نونه در میاره

to find a bread (get something to eat)

واسه نونه در میاره

to find a bread (get something to eat)

(x2)

(x2)

واسه نون ،واسه نونه

it's for a bread, for a bread (money)

تا به کارش تو بخندی

to make you laugh at him

که اگه اینو بدونی

and if you understand this,

تو به دلقک نمی خندی

you will not laugh at the clown

تو به دلقک نمی خندی

you will not laugh at the clown
