Verse 1 Bi aabi haye Tabestoon There was no water in the Summer Bi borghi haye Zemestoon No electricity in the Winter Shabaa gorg o mish o naaleh At night, the sound of howling wolves and weeping humans Roozaa bomb o baroon In days, bombs pouring down Zabdar e chasb roo shisheh Tape crossed over the window glass Lek o lek e aaghaajoon Grandfather hobbling Shabaayeh por setarah Nights, full of stars Roozaa hame roo eyvoon Days, everyone out on the porch Chorus G o Ch o P o Jh Ye o Re o Mim o Lam o Noon ☨☨(see explanation at the end) Verse 2 Aadma por efadeh People are all full of arrogance Vali gedoa faraavoon But there is poverty everywhere Borg o chars o hashish o shishah Leaf and weed and hash and crystal Bar o box hame daaghoon Every friend, totally destroyed Misaazimet dobaareh We will fix you again Shaayad hamin Tabestoon Maybe this Summer Shabaa rooza derazeh Nights and days are long Shayad ham ke Zemestoon Or maybe also the Winter Chorus G o Ch o P o Jh Ye o Re o Mim o Lam o Noon Verse 3 Nakon enghadeh naleh Don’t complain too much Beshin posht e farmoon Sit behind the steering wheel Bezan berim dobaare Let’s go again Too ootooboonaye Tehroon In the highways of Tehran Ye rooz meyaym dobaareh One day we will come again Hame tooyeh khyaboon All out in the streets Par mikeshim dobaneh We will fly free again Vali mishim pashimoon But we will regret it again Chorus G o Ch o P o Jh Ye o Re o Mim o Lam o Noon G o Ch o P o Jh ☨☨ The chorus is a word play in reference to the sociopolitical divide between the polarized views, which is represented by the 4 letters from Farsi that is G.Ch.P.Jh. which do not exist in the Arabic alphabet, while Ye, Re, Mim, Lam, Vav and Noon are letters which are pronounced a certain way in Arabic Religious texts.
