Lyrics and translation Hamed Homayoun - Mardome Shahr

Mardome Shahr

امشب غم دیروز و پریروز و فلان سال و
فلان حال و فلان مال که بر باد فنا رفت نخور
به خدا حسرت دیروز عذاب است

مردم شهر به هوشید؟
مردم شهر به هوشید؟
هر چه دارید و ندارید بپوشید و
برقصید و بخندید که امشب سر هر کوچه خدا هست
روی دیوار دل خود بنویسید خدا هست
نه یک بار و نه ده بار، که صد بار
به ایمان و تواضع بنویسید خدا هست

خدا هست و خدا هست و خدا هست
خدا هست و خدا هست و خدا هست
خدا هست و خدا هست و خدا هست

امشب همه ی میکده را سیر بنوشید
با مردم این کوچه و آن کوچه بجوشید
دیوانه و عاقل همگی جامه بپوشیدو در شادی این کودک و
آن پیرِ زمینگیر و فلان بسته به زنجیرو زن و مرد بکوشید
هر چه دارید و ندارید بپوشید و
برقصید و بخندید که امشب سر هر کوچه خدا هست

هر چه دارید و ندارید بپوشید و
برقصید و بخندید که امشب سر هر کوچه خدا هست
هر چه دارید و ندارید بپوشید و برقصید و بخندید
امشب غم دیروز و پریروز و فلان سال و
فلان حال و فلان مال که بر باد فنا رفت نخور
به خدا حسرت دیروز عذاب است

مردم شهر به هوشید؟
مردم شهر به هوشید؟
هر چه دارید و ندارید بپوشید و
برقصید و بخندید که امشب سر هر کوچه خدا هست
هر چه دارید و ندارید بپوشید و
برقصید و بخندید که امشب سر هر کوچه خدا هست
هر چه دارید و ندارید بپوشید و برقصید و بخندید

برقصید و بخندید
برقصید و بخندید
برقصید و بخندید
برقصید و بخندید
برقصید و بخندید
برقصید و بخندید
برقصید و بخندید
برقصید و بخندید
بخندید

Mardome Shahr

Forget yesterday's and the day before's sorrows and the sorrows of such and such a year and
such and such a condition and such and such a wealth that were lost to decay
By God, regretting yesterday is torment

People of the city, are you awake?
People of the city, are you awake?
Whatever you have and don't have, put on and
dance and laugh because tonight God is at every corner
On the wall of your heart write God is here
Not once or ten times, but a hundred times
With faith and humility write God is here

God is here and God is here and God is here
God is here and God is here and God is here
God is here and God is here and God is here

Tonight drink the whole tavern dry
With the people of this and that alleyway, get excited
Mad and sane, all put on your clothes and in the joy of this child and
that old man confined to bed and such and such a one shackled and women and men, strive
Whatever you have and don't have, put on and
dance and laugh because tonight God is at every corner

Whatever you have and don't have, put on and
dance and laugh because tonight God is at every corner
Whatever you have and don't have, put on and dance and laugh
Forget yesterday's and the day before's sorrows and the sorrows of such and such a year and
such and such a condition and such and such a wealth that were lost to decay
By God, regretting yesterday is torment

People of the city, are you awake?
People of the city, are you awake?
Whatever you have and don't have, put on and
dance and laugh because tonight God is at every corner
Whatever you have and don't have, put on and
dance and laugh because tonight God is at every corner
Whatever you have and don't have, put on and dance and laugh

Dance and laugh
Dance and laugh
Dance and laugh
Dance and laugh
Dance and laugh
Dance and laugh
Dance and laugh
Dance and laugh
Laugh
