lyrics
“مشت می‌کوبم بر در
پنجه می‌سایم بر پنجره‌ها
من دچار خفقانم، خفقان
من به تنگ آمده‌ام از همه چیز
بگذارید هواری بزنم
آی! با شما هستم
این درها را باز کنید
من به دنبال فضایی می‌گردم
لب بامی
سر کوهی
دل صحرایی
که در آن‌جا نفسی تازه کنم
می خواهم فریاد بلندی بکشم
که صدایم به شما هم برسد!
من هوارم را سر خواهم داد!
چاره درد مرا باید این داد کند
از شما خفته‌ی چند!
چه کسی می‌آید با من فریاد کند”

― فریدون مشیری

translation:

I pound on the door, scrape against the windows,
I am being suffocated,
I am done with everything
let me howl and scream
hey i am talking to you
open these doors
i am looking for fresh air and some space
on a roof
on a mountain
in heart of a desert
so i can refresh my breath
I want to scream a long howl
so you can hear my voice
I will let my scream out
and among you sleeping heads
who among you will join me to scream?
