Lyrics and translation Shahin Najafi - Aleh

Aleh

دنیا به درک رفت و دِه بی سر و سامان شد
سهم من و تو از آن یک سفره ی بی نان شد
دنیا به درک رفت و دِه بی سر و سامان شد
سهم من و تو از آن یک سفره ی بی نان شد
از چشم کبودِ ما هی اشک به راه افتاد
آنقدر که باریدیم تبدیل به باران شد
هر دوست که با ما بود دشمن شد و خنجر زد
با قافله پیمان بست هم کاسه ی دزدان شد
پشتِ همه ی درها دیوار کشیدند و
هی سقف فرو پاشید هی پنجره سیمان شد
هی شهد و شکر دادند!
هی سکه ی زر دادند!
آرام بساطِ شعر تبدیل به دُکان شد
هر کس که دلش میخواست نیزه به زمین کوبید
هی کشت و تجاوز کرد تا قاری قرآن شد
دنیا به درک رفت و دِه بی سر و سامان شد
سهم من و تو از آن یک سفره ی بی نان شد
دنیا به درک رفت و دِه بی سر و سامان شد
سهم من و تو از آن یک سفره ی بی نان شد
جنگل شده بود این شهر با منظره های بکر
یک جنگل خر تو خر علامه و روشنفکر
دنیای بدون در، دنیای پر از بن بست
دنیای فقط در خواب، دنیای سراپا مست
از دهکده ی خونین، از حمله ی آپاچی
یک کوه جسد ماند و یک مشت تماشاچی
که سوخت و ساکت ماند، با فاجعه بارآمد
هی فصل زمستان شد، هی گفت بهار آمد
دندان به جگر داد و آرام لبش را دوخت
با پای خودش پای هر چوبه ی دار آمد
سر خوش شده از تاول معتاد به هر لخته
در خشم نمکدان ها با زخم کنار آمد
دنیا به درک رفت و دِه بی سر و سامان شد
سهم من و تو از آن یک سفره ی بی نان شد
دنیا به درک رفت و دِه بی سر و سامان شد
سهم من و تو از آن یک سفره ی بی نان شد
دنیا به درک رفت و دِه بی سر و سامان شد
سهم من و تو از آن یک سفره ی بی نان شد
دنیا به درک رفت و ...

Aleh

The world went to hell and the village became disorganized
My and your share of it became an empty table
The world went to hell and the village became disorganized
My and your share of it became an empty table
Tears kept falling from our bruised eyes
We cried so much that we turned into rain
Every friend that was with us became an enemy and stabbed us
They made a pact with the caravan and became partners with the thieves
They put up walls behind every door
The roof kept collapsing, the windows kept getting sealed
They kept giving us honey and sugar!
They kept giving us gold coins!
Slowly, the world of poetry turned into a market
Everyone who wanted to, stabbed a spear into the ground
They kept killing and raping until they became Quran readers
The world went to hell and the village became disorganized
My and your share of it became an empty table
The world went to hell and the village became disorganized
My and your share of it became an empty table
The city had become a jungle with pristine views
A topsy-turvy jungle of scholars and intellectuals
A world without doors, a world full of dead ends
A world only in dreams, a world completely drunk
From the bloody village, from the Apache attack
A mountain of corpses remained and a bunch of spectators
Who burned and stayed silent, emerged with the tragedy
Every winter they said spring was coming
They gritted their teeth and sewed their lips shut
They walked to every gallows on their own two feet
Intoxicated by blisters, addicted to every clot
In the fury of the salt shakers, they came with their wounds
The world went to hell and the village became disorganized
My and your share of it became an empty table
The world went to hell and the village became disorganized
My and your share of it became an empty table
The world went to hell and the village became disorganized
My and your share of it became an empty table
The world went to hell and ...
