Hanuz roye derakhta
Faqat joye kaloghe
Guloho parparan ey voy
Ye divone tu boghe
Delam ye gule otish
Tanam kurye doghe
Vali tu hame dunyo
Darigh az iye cheroghe

Az un gusheye dunyo
Be in gusheh residam
Nagin dunyo qashange
Qashangisho nadidam
Hanuz gham tu vojudam
Azobe sine suze
Nagin gerye ro bas kon
Nagin dunyo do ruze

Kodum naleye shabgir
Kodum verde shabune
Kodum telesm o jodu
Doaye oshequne
Az in gusheye dunyo
Be un gusheye dunyo
Mano be ashiyune
Be yoram miresune

Hanuz qofeleye eshq
Be manzel nareside
Ghariqim o sedomun
Be sohel nareside
Hanuz ashk o tu cheshmom
Negom khireh beh rohe
Na oftob o na mahtob
Cheqadr dunyo siyohe

Kodum jaddeh kodum roh
Kodum ashk o kodum oh
Kodum abr o kodum oj
Kodum moj o kodum moh
Az in gusheh dunyo
Be un gusheye dunyo
Man o be ashiyune
Be yoram miresune

Love this tune, her voice and the backing music are well intertwined.

Would love to hear more Middle Eastern music on RP.... :)



Perhaps you need to be more specific?

Yeah I was just reading in Reddit last night from several people who quit their jobs over constant garbage on the radio, day in and day out -- the same songs over and over.  The effect of bad music on morale is definitely not trivial.

I'm sitting at my desk with ear plugs in paying my bills when through the plugs I hear what sounds like Persian music.  I'm thinking to myself WTF?  Radio Paradise playing Persian music!?  Being Persian myself, I am pleasantly surprised {#Laughing}  Way to go, Bill!  {#Cheers}
This is a good primer for the Mehregan festival I will be attending tomorrow.

I love this song and having new international music like this on Radio Paradise is one of the biggest reasons that I subscribe.  Having old familiar songs that I haven't heard in a long time makes RP amazing but being surprised by a song by an artist that I've never heard before is a delight.  Keep it up.

I was just reading the comments on the previous song (Friends by LZ) and people complaining about not playing Celebration Song next since they segue together.

All is forgiven Bill, the segue into this one was perfect!  Seamless.  How do you think of this stuff?

love this comment!  ..it's great how that 93% seems to reflect also the chunk of your imagination that's missing. Ya know if you add a few colors to your box of crayons the world might look a little brighter. 7 colors or 64..?  hmm... that's a tough one.

I'm going to assume that this is fantastic and it just goes over my head.  Musically, it's good.  Vocally, it's good.  I don't think the fact that it's not in English bothers me all that much.

It isn't that I'm somehow opposed to middle eastern music, but this does not have much appeal — the string fills are schmaltzy, the song sort of drags on without much punch to it... basically it's muzak.

Boy, I hate it so much whenever the playlist enters a (seemingly) endless loop of Turkish-Oriental-"blah-blah" crappy "songs"...

 

You and that ^&*^()@ who doesn't know that there are no camels in Iran. That's Arabia you freak!
I think it's gone enough for you to know the difference between Turkish-blah-blah and the Iranian culture, guys.

At least I hope so, because something like a civil war had to be taken for those TV channels you are watching day and night to show you what is inside this country.

Has Radio Paradise gone softer over the years?
 
Oddly, I heard this and opened a browser to come to RP just to see who it was.  Like a moth to a flame.  To each their own.....I am grateful that RP plays world music!  You sure won't hear this one on terrestrial radio!

Your post was true when written but if anyone doubted it, the actions of the Iranian government (Mullahs) during the past few days has reinforced it.

I totally dig the flavor and vote for more middle east groove.  (My Amr Diab upload got bonged right out of the chute and I'm still stinging from that one).

The problem most people have with this music is that the beat is off of the tempo we are used to.  And that is classic middle eastern music, they follow the off beats, but they are still following a beat.  And honestly, they have some amazing music.  So get used to it, I hope we hear more of this.  I love it!!

I think that this is beautiful. (And it shames me when people indulge in culture-bashing.)

And I suppose the Taliban think any song sung in English is surely about sex, violence and drugs.  Oh wait...

Unlike other stations, this one does play endless loops of Turkish-Oriental-"blah-blah" crappy "songs".
And we thank Bill for that {#Notworthy}

I bought this entire CD through RP/Amazon the minute I heard the first track Bill played. Love it.
