Lyrics and translation Habib - Man Va Tou

Man Va Tou

با من اکنون چه نشستن ها خاموشی ها
با تو اکنون چه فراموشی ها
چه کسی میخواهد من و تو ما نشویم
خانه اش ویران باد
با من اکنون چه نشستن ها خاموشی ها
با تو اکنون چه فراموشی ها
چه کسی میخواهد من و تو ما نشویم
خانه اش ویران باد
من اگر ما نشوم تنهایم تو اگر ما نشوی خویشتنی
از کجا که من و تو
شور یکپارچگی را در شهر باز بر پا نکنیم
از کجا که من و تو مشت رسوایان را وا نکنیم
من اگر برخیزم
تو اگر برخیزی
همه بر میخزد
من اگر بنشینی
تو اگر بنشینی
چه کسی برخیزد
چه کسی با دشمن بستیزد
چه کسی پنجه در پنجه هر دشمن در آویزد
من اگر ما نشوم تنهایم تو اگر ما نشوی خویشتنی
از کجا که من و تو
شور یکپارچگی را در شهر باز برپا نکنیم
از کجا که من و تو
مشت رسوایان را وا نکنیم

Man Va Tou

What is with us sitting in silence, now with me?
My love, what with our forgetting, now with you?
Who could wish for you and I not to be one?
May their dwelling be ruined, theirs!
What is with us sitting in silence, now with me?
My love, what with our forgetting, now with you?
Who could wish for you and I not to be one?
May their dwelling be ruined, theirs!
Were I not to be one, I'd be alone, were you not to be one, you'd be by yourself
How is it that you and I
Could not revive the passion of unity in this town?
How could you and I not unclench the fists of the wicked?
If I were to rise,
If you were to rise,
Everyone would rise, too.
If I were to sit,
If you were to sit,
Who would rise?
Who would fight the enemy?
Who would grapple with each and every foe?
Were I not to be one, I'd be alone, were you not to be one, you'd be by yourself
How is it that you and I
Could not revive the passion of unity in this town?
How could you and I
Not unclench the fists of the wicked?
