English translation of the lyrics (by Hossein Ragheb):

In this place of loneliness, no one knocks the door
To this land of suffering no bird comes for a fly

None of the people in the dark turns on some light
No one in this town of night moves to find the dawn

I'm sat in this dusty place waiting for a rider
No chance for the day light through such deep darkness

The ruins of my heart can't be ruined further
The blade of your sorrow can't stab any worse

This is a passage of cruelty where except for sorrow
No one talks to any passenger in a friendly way

How to expect any response from closed entrances
Go, as no one calls somebody who acts like a deaf

I've got no shadow or fruit, it's fair if they cut me
Otherwise, no one raises an axe to cut useful trees

Original lyrics in Persian:

در این سرای بی کسی کسی به در نمی زند
به دشــت پـر مـلال مـا پـرنـده پـر نمی زند

يـكی زشـب گرفتگــان چـراغ بـر نمی كند
كسی به كوچه سـار شـب در سحر نمی زند

نـشسته ام در انـتظار اين غـبـار بی سـوار
دريغ كـز شـبی چنين سـپيده سـر نمی زند

دل خـراب من دگـر خـراب تـر نمی شود
كه خنجر غمت از اين خـراب تر نمی زند

گذر گهی است پر ستم كه اندرو به غير غم
يـكی صلای آشــنـا بـه رهگـذر نـمی زند

چه چشم پاسخ است از اين دريچه های بسته ات
بـرو کـه هـيچ کـس نـدا به گـوش کـر نمی زند

نـه سـايه دارم و نـه بـَر، بيفکننـدم و سـزاست
اگـر نـه بـر درخــت تـر کـسی تـبـر نمی زند

Land of Loneliness (from Do it Now..OC) (Nick R Davies, Paploviante & Rehearsals) سرای بی کسی

This is what I did.
Fast asleep now
Time was our only enemy 
Be good

I knew at an early age that music would be a part of my life forever. In music I found my self-esteem and a way to make people feel. I began singing in public at nine years old and playing drums at thirteen.  In the tenth grade I auditioned to play drums and percussion with the South Georgia College and got the "gig". I performed in many musical productions there until I graduated high school and joined the army.  I continued performing in the NCO clubs while serving.
After obtaining the G.I. Bill I attended the University of South Carolina, where I played with several local bands. In 1982 I graduated college and taught special education until retirement last May. There, I witnessed the magic of music through my students.
I now enjoy the peace and solitude of a farm in the middle of "God's Country" here in Tennessee. With much help from family and friends, I am able to share my original songs with you.
I sincerely thank you for taking a bit of your time with me. I hope you receive a blessing from a song or two and as you listen, I hope you hear my heart in each and every one.  Tony
