Song: Gazing
Singer: Homayoun Shajarian
Soloist: Ali Ghamsari
You said why you are gazing at me,
So astonished!
That you won’t even blink for a moment
I won’t blink, I won’t blink
So that I do not lose your lovely eyes look
Not even as much as a blink
O my!, O my heart!, O God!,
O my heart!
I want you and I wanted you till the last breath
I was burning with regret
As your love was always enough for me
Your love was enough for me
To wake up this flame
That lights up the long nights in my cage
I won’t blink, I won’t blink
So that I do not lose your eyes
Not even for as much as a blink.
Swear to God
There is no one but you
I never loved anyone but you
Never, ever!
If there was anyone at all …
The miracle face of your sorrow
O, love! O, love! O, love!
Rescued me
In the strangeness of this doom
O, love! O, love!
