lyrics
Verse 1
Saghf e in asemoon ro
Look, the roof of this sky
Haaley e maah e moon ro
Look, the halo of our moon
Pialey e yaar e moon ro
Look, the chalice of our lover
Siahey e kaar e moon ro
Look, the dark account of our sins
Mard e hamraah e moon ro
Look, our companion
Baghy e jaam e moon ro
Look, the leftovers in our wine glasses
Setare ye bakht e moon ro
Look, our lucky stars
Balesha ye takhtemoon ro
Look, the pillows on our bed
Chorus
In Eshgh
This love
Tan ha
All alone
Roo taab
On a swing
Baa ham too khaab
Together in my dream
Eshgham bar baad
My love gone with the wind
Gashtam aazaad
I became free
In Eshgh
This love
Be in sakhti
Is so hard
Be in tordy
Is so unyielding
Be in nomidy
Is so hopeless
Verse 2
Shishe ye Omremoon ro
Look, the chalice of our lives
Baaghi ye jaam moon ro
Look, the leftovers in our wine glasses
Kenaare ye baagh e moon ro
Look, the edges of our garden
Savaare ye raam e moon ro
Look, our tame equestrians
Baazi e raaz e moon ro
Look, our secret game
Raghs o avaaz e moon ro
Look, our dancing and singing
Sho’araa ye naaz e moon ro
Look, our sweet poets
Honaraa ye khas e moon ro
Look, our exceptional art
Chorus 2
In Eshgh
This love
Saahel dar yaad
A shore in the memory
Hasel bar aab
Washed out by the water
Jaahel bar kaar
The Ignorant is at work
Aashegh bar daar
The Lover is on the noose
In Eshgh
This love
Be in zeshty
Is so ugly
Be in sardi
Is so cold
Zamoon e bad
These are bad times
Bridge
Maa ke eshgh aashenayim
We who know love
Az yaadat naborde im
We have not forgotten you
To ham az yaademaan nabar
Don’t you forget us either
Joz to dar arsa ye khaak kasi nadarim
We have only you on this Earth
Nagzaar sard shavim
Don’t let us grow cold
Har rooz o az har kojaa ke shod
Everyday and everywhere possible
Az hayat neshaane yi be maa beresaan
Give us a sign of life
Outro
Dirtarak az konj e bishe yi dar jangal e khatere haa
Later from the corner of the memory’s forest
Naagahaan payda sho
Suddenly show your face to us
Dast be soo ye maa deraaz kon o
Lend your hand to us
Nejaat e maan bede
And save us
Nejaat e maan bede
And save us
Nejaat e maan bede
And save us
In Eshgh
This love
