A 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.
