Dear friends,
I am working on a very important translation for the Green Movement. I have had to put this blog, as well as pretty much everything else, aside.
I’ll be back after that.
Thank you for your patience.

Sunday, July 26th, 2009A Shirazi folk-song sung by the incomparable Kiosk with film quotes from the lysergic realist Parajanov‘s The Color of Pomegranates.
Here are the Persian lyrics.
Here is my translation:
Come, Oh Beloved
Come, Oh Beloved.
Come, You who hold my heart.
My heart pines for You.
I am worthy of You. Come! [twice]
My Beloved is my dear.
She is my shining moon.
Come, come
Before me! [twice]
My Beloved is my dear.
She is my jewel.
She soothes my soul.
Come, come
Before me! [twice]
Come, Oh Beloved.
Come, You who hold my heart.
My heart pines for You.
I am worthy of You. Come! [six times]
My heart pines for You.
