Lyrics and translation Shahram Nazeri feat. Ferdowsi Ensemble - Zahak Dar Jostejooye Fereydoon

Zahak Dar Jostejooye Fereydoon

زمین کرده ضحاک پرگفتگوی
زمین کرده ضحاک پرگفتگوی
بگرد جهان در همین جستجوی
بگرد جهان در همین جستجوی
نشان فریدون بگرد جهان
همی بازجست آشکار و نهان
نشان فریدون بگرد جهان
همی بازجست آشکار و نهان

فریدون که بودش پدر آبتین
شده تنگ بر آبتین بر، زمین
چو بگذشت بر آفریدون دو هشت
ز البرز کوه اندر آمد به دشت
چو بگذشت بر آفریدون دو هشت
ز البرز کوه اندر آمد به دشت
بر مادر آمد پژوهید و گفت
که بگشای بر من نهان از نهفت
که بگشای بر من نهان از نهفت
فرانک بدو گفت کای نامجوی
فرانک بدو گفت کای نامجوی
بگویم ترا هر چه گفتی بگوی
بگویم ترا هر چه گفتی بگوی
بگویم ترا هر چه گفتی بگوی

تو بشناس کز مرز ایران زمین
تو بشناس کز مرز ایران زمین
یکی مرد بُد نام او آبتین
ز تخم کیان بود و بیدار بود
خردمند و گرد و بی آزار بود
ز تخم کیان بود و بیدار بود
خردمند و گرد و بی آزار بود
سر بابت از مغز پرداختند
سر بابت از مغز پرداختند
مر آن اژدها را خورش ساختند

فریدون چو بشنید بگشادگوش
ز گفتار مادر برآمد به جوش
ز گفتار مادر برآمد به جوش
بپویم به فرمان یزدان پاک
بپویم به فرمان یزدان پاک
برآرم ز ایوان ضحاک خاک
برآرم ز ایوان ضحاک خاک
بپویم به فرمان یزدان پاک
برآرم ز ایوان ضحاک خاک

Zahak Dar Jostejooye Fereydoon

The earth made Zahhāk full of useless talk
The earth made Zahhāk full of useless talk
Search the world only for this
Search the world only for this
Look for Feridun's mark in the world
Seek it, both openly and in secret
Look for Feridun's mark in the world
Seek it, both openly and in secret

Feridun, whose father was Ābtīn
Ābtīn feels the earth is too small for him
When Feridun was two and eight
He came to the plains from the Alborz mountains
When Feridun was two and eight
He came to the plains from the Alborz mountains
He came to his mother, made inquires and said
Tell me the mystery of this secret
Tell me the mystery of this secret
Frank said to him, O seeker of glory
Frank said to him, O seeker of glory
I'll tell you all that you have said
I'll tell you all that you have said
I'll tell you all that you have said

Know that from the borders of the Iranian land,
Know that from the borders of the Iranian land,
There was a man, Ābtīn by name
He was from the lineage of Kayan and was awake
He was intelligent, brave and harmless
He was from the lineage of Kayan and was awake
He was intelligent, brave and harmless
Zahḥāk mashed his brain
Zahḥāk mashed his brain
And offered it as a feast to the dragons

Feridun opened his ears when he heard
His mother's words made him restless
His mother's words made him restless
I will search at the command of the pure Yazdān
I will search at the command of the pure Yazdān
I will remove the dust from Zahhāk's court
I will remove the dust from Zahhāk's court
I will search at the command of the pure Yazdān
I will remove the dust from Zahhāk's court
