Farsi is such a weird sounding language.

try this - not exaclty rap but nice ! - black cats - i like this one in particular - i like the lady at 0 min 10 sec - soo beautiful !!!

but the language is tough - wish they could use romanised form too - like turkish - wish hindi would romanise too ! ( nort many ppl would agree with me on that - i feel there should be both the original script and romanised )

YAS - Hoviate Man


English Translation:

Listen. I want to tell you my intent
They want to erase my identity
The history of the land of the Aryans
Is screaming until we come to it
So now is the time for you to hear
Iran is my land the
The country which after 7000 years
Is still standing
And the hearts of Iranians -- still like the sea
Hear this, my fellow Iranian, from YAS
I too for my land stand like a soldier
Hold Iran like a gem in your hand and say
My complaint will burst out like a shot
Let's stand together and sing our anthem
My sisters, my brothers, my fellow Iranians
Iran's civilization is in danger
All of us are soldiers beneath our flag
We won't let anyone spread lies about us
For us Iranians it is our calling
That we wear the symbol of 'Farvahar' around our necks
Our unity against an enemy is the cause of their distress
Iran's name for us is an honor
And our respect for her is like a thorn in eye for those
Who want to injure her

CHORUS:

- Like the thirst of a seed [wheat] for water
- Like the dampness of rain, the smell of earth
- Like you, pure eyes, like the feeling of its earth, for you
- My land. Singing for you is in my heart
- Singing of my land, is my feeling
- My love - the earth of this land -- Iran

You want to say that we came from generations of Barbarians?
So take a look then to Takht Jamshid!
You're showing Iran's name in vein
So yours could be written big on a cover of a CD [DVD}?
I'm writing down your intentions in my book
I know why you wrote this film "300"
I know that your heart is made of stone and lead
Instead of using your art to make a culture of peace
In this sensitive air and bad atmosphere
You want to start fishing in murky waters [profiting]
But this I tell you in its original language
Iran will never be spoiled and surrendered
God has given you two eyes to see
Take a look and read the books written by
Saadi and Ibn-e-Sina, Ferdosi, Khayam or Molana Rumi
Always throughout history we were the start [on top]
But now YAS can't sit down quietly
Let Iran's name be marred by a few tricksters
I'll shred your intentions with the "razor of hope"
Who are YOU to speak of the history of Iran?

- CHORUS -

It was Cyrus The Great that started the peace
Freeing the Jewish from the grip of Babylon
Cyrus The Great wrote the first bill of human rights
That is why I carry my esteem and great pride
For my Iran. The history of my land
For the earth of this land which my body is from
Whatever part of the world you live my fellow Iranian
And till your blood flows through you
Don't allow yourself to be satisfied
That anyone can fool around with your heritage
The history of Iran is my identity
Iran -- protecting your name is my good intent

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 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)
