Tasmim. Iranian protest song.
Tasmim - Erfan feat. Khashayar [Official Music Video] Iran Rap Fars Persian music farsi - YouTube
English Translation:
Again, everyone's heart is darkened
this is the song of my heart
this is the poison of Ahriman
that is murdering my city
that offends everyone
if all are there, still its not enough
How ever much they endure seems not enough
how ever much they endure will be all sorrow
*(Repeat Chorus 1)
* * * * * * * * * * *
God, take me with you, I am a mess
The world as thrown us down, talking about us
I am not easily upset, but how much more?
yes, from A to Z, without exaggeration or reservation now i am going to tell you
in it, there is only verses,
lots of courage and balls
lots of love and a bit of goodness
lots of thought and a bit of prayer
lots of work and a bit of results
that is our efforts are fruitless
years and years we have grown used to uselessness
eight years my bothers were in death shrouds
millions and millions of corpses we gave
now they are totally in line
wallowing in addiction, in action
everyone is you and us and me
everyone is wallowing in moon and moonlight
the trip from home to burial site
buried alive, everyone is silenced and choked
but I sing about hope because my world is in my hands
I know my path, I will stick to it like a flea
the last curses I utter is still my word
the last curses I sing, are the instrument of my death
* * * * * * * * * * *
(Chorus 2)
Make a decision, so we don't surrender
stand up on your feet, don't discriminate
this is life, even if you keep saying
its no use
its as if they tell us, if you die there will be no tears
you can recognize the difference between a lie and the truth
take a good look at your life because
you are not difference from a living corpse
* * * * * * * * * * *
So my life is all filled with sorrow, yes
the only thing missing when there is sorrow is a musical instrument
you say our Iran is out fault, everyday you say this
but you beat and you kill, hard core, yes
so then its natural, for him to be insane
you should know that its for you and me that he has lost his life
one should have thick skin, should be ruthless
not give up home, not many days are left till judgment day
I am in everybody's' eyes, like the headlines of a newspaper
if I say swear words, they say Khashi (2nd) has problems
but he is not like you guys, who have serious issues
he goes, he speaks up, he gets there how ever way he can
the effort to make you understand seems wasted
its like peeling away the eyes of a beggar from a coin
my brother, I am Iranian, and I will die in its soil
may the whole world be lucky to even dream of such passion
* * * * * * * * * * *
(Chorus 2)
Make a decision, so we don't surrender
stand up on your feet, don't discriminate
this is life, even if you keep saying
its no use
its as if they tell us, if you die there will be no tears
you can recognize the difference between a lie and the truth
take a good look at your life because
you are not difference from a living corpse
********************
There was a day when we could carry the world on our backs
now it's our downtime
if you remove words of war and atoms (3rd), our core is pure
from all their lies, which should I believe?
who stands with me?
yes, your sun will set one day
they say we are barbarians, a cursed and terrorist nation
we have a contract with grim ripper
till you are around we wont surrender
now a 500 year old people, rules us
they tramples the world, leaves behind soldiers
hates our freedom, our history and our faith
but our sacrifice wont let it happen
Iran has given us such courage
Our Iran, is in ruins till our lions are in this condition
Our Iran, is in ruins till our elders remain asleep
Yes, say it that you wont be sleeping
Yes, say you wont allow it
Say it : "that you will shine with this many thousand year old light"
say it : "that you will endure all this pressure and all this tyranny"
Say that : "you will never leave its side even from far away"
* * * * * * * * * * *
(Chorus 2)
Make a decision, so we don't surrender
stand up on your feet, don't discriminate
this is life, even if you keep saying
its no use
its as if they tell us, if you die there will be no tears
you can recognize the difference between a lie and the truth
take a good look at your life because
you are not difference from a living corpse
* * * * * * * * * * *
(Chorus 1)
Again, everyone's heart is darkened

this is the poison of Ahriman
that is murdering my city
that offends everyone
if all are there, still its not enough
How ever much they endure seems not enough
how ever much they endure will be all sorrow
