The Winter cometh to an end (video and translation)
This beautiful and political Persian song is about an imminent end to Winter. The song has been performed by many vocalists. The video here is that of Shaghayegh Kamali, with music arranged by Siavash Beizai. Approximate English translation of the Persian lyrics is offered below:
The winter has come to an end, the spring has blossomed.
The red flower of the sun has risen once again, the night has escaped.
The mountains are covered with tulips, the tulips are awake.
They are planting sunshine in the mountains, flower by flower by flower.
In the mountains, his heart is awake, he is bringing flowers and bread and will defend
In his heart, he has a forest of stars.
His lips wear a smile of light.
His heart is filled with the flames of emotion.
His voice is like a spring.
His memory is like a deer in the forest of light."
