lyrics

درخت

شاخه سارانت سبز و بلند، روح خاکو در ریشه داری
زردی خورشید، آبی آسمونو، تو سبزی برگات میکاری
به من بگو، چند تا زمستون، چند تا فصل خشک بی آبو دیدی؟
آنچنان شوری تو در خود داری، انگار یادی از تاریکی ها نداری!
به من بگو تا کی باشم تک درختی خشک، که سپرده جوونه هاشو به دست باد؟
به من بگو ای ریشه دار تا کی باشه، خونه ام تو دشت بی آبو پر ز خار؟
روزی بوداند شاخه هام پر ز جوانه، من سایه بان بودم بر خواب های رخوت انگیز!
من روزی بودم لبریز از امید، امروز فقط تک درختی ام در مسیر باد
قصه بگو از سال های دور، بگو از کجا به این هیبت رسیدی!
درافق با رنگ آسمون، چطور اینهمه زیبایی آفریدی؟
به من بگو چند تا زمستون، چند تا فصل خشک بی آب رو دیدی؟
آنچنان شوری تو در خود داری، انگار یادی از تاریکی ها نداری!
آیا این خلوت جنگله یا سرنوشت، که شاخه هایم می لرزند همه در انزوا؟
این ازدحام جنگله یا سرنوشت، که شاخه هات میرقصند همه سرخوش رها؟
به من بگو ریشه در زمین، سرو استوار، کجا نهفته ای رمز سرخوشی هایت را؟
من روزی بودم لبریز از امید، امروز فقط تک درختى ام در مسیر باد.

DERAKHT

Your branches are tall and green, you hold the spirit of the earth in
your roots
You plant the yellow of the sun and the blue of the sky in the green of
your leaves
Tell me, how many winters have you witnessed, how many dry seasons
have you been through?
There is such passion in you, as if you bear no memories of the dark!
Tell me, how long should I be the dry lonely tree, who has given away
her blossoms to the hands of the wind?
Tell me, you with those strong roots, how long will my home be in a
dry thorn meadow?
One day, my branches were full of blossom, I was the canopy for the
indolent dreams!
I was full of hope one day,
today I'm only a lonely tree on the pathway of the wind.
Tell me a story from the years gone by, tell me how you came to bear
so much awe and delight!
How do you, oh so beautifully, mingle in the horizon, with the color of
the sky?
Tell me, how many winters have you witnessed, how many dry seasons
have you been through?
There is such passion in you, as if you bear no memories of the dark!
Is it [my] solitude in the forest or destiny, that makes my branches
tremble in isolation?
Is it the crowded forest or [your] destiny, that makes your branches
dance so cheerful and free?
Oh you the strong-rooted, invincible cedar,
tell me where you have hidden the secret of your bliss?
I was full of hope one day, today I'm only a lonely tree on the pathway
of the wind.
