یواشکی - آلبوم ص شاهین نجفی

گلهای پرپرت سوخته در این باغ
فرمانده ی سپاه در لشکر عراق
کوچ بنفشه ها از وحشت چماق
یک عمر آب شدن یک فصل فصل داغ

سس بود زندگی با طعم تلخ و تند
یک اره در دهان با ریتم های کند
انسان سالاد بود از میخ و تیغ و تیر
باید ادامه داد مثل چریک پیر

اشکی نمانده است  بغضی که بمب شد
شاعر مغازه بود دائم پلمپ شد
یک پنجره نبود  دیوار شد صدا
هر زن ترانه شد در خون خود ندا

اما شکنجه ها یواشکی نبود
او پیش چشم مان ستار را ربود

حالا که گیج گیج حالا که مست مست
با من بگو هنوز آیا امید هست؟
یک مشت حرف خیس در قلب دفترم
یک دشنه در گلو یک کلت در سرم

پای مرا ببین میدان مین کجاست
سربندهای خون مفقود در خداست
ما پیش می رویم روی طناب دار
تفسیر شعرمان عرعر و قارقار

گاهی که تیغ شان با پنبه شیک بود
پاسخ به پرسشم فحش رکیک بود
سنگر سکوت نیست در جنگ با شُغاد 
تا شعر زنده هست باید ادامه داد

اما شکنجه ها یواشکی نبود
او پیش چشم مان ستار را ربود

Shahin Najafi - Yavashaki (Album Sade)

Shahin Najafi is a musician, poet, singer, and social activist. He was born in 1980 to a middle-class family in Bandar-e Anzali, Iran, the youngest of eight children. He started writing poetry and learning to play classical and flamenco guitar in his teens. He turned to rock music, often performing as an underground musician.
​
As a young activist, Shahin's lyrics often conveyed strong and controversial messages about Iranian society. This attracted the disapproval of Iranian authorities and in 2004, the threat of persecution forced him to leave Iran.
In 2005, Shahin moved to Germany. Dubbed the "angry bard", he continued to write and perform music that was critical of conditions in Iran: poverty, oppression of women, homophobia, censorship, ideological dogmas, violence and cultural taboos. For a time, his career veered into rap and hip hop, bringing him fame among young fans back in Iran. These days, Shahin's music fuses rock, jazz, and blues with lyrics that demand change.
​
In 2012, Shahin released his most controversial song: Naghi. In it, he exhorts a Shiite Imam named Naghi to help solve some of the problems plaguing Iran. But religious hardliners called the song an insult to Imams, a crime severely punished in Iran, and used Fatwas (religious edicts) to demand his death. Around the world, politicians, scholars, musicians, and devoted fans rose to Shahin’s defence, propelling him into the limelight as a proponent of free speech.
​
In 2013, Shahin Najafi's book Wenn Gott Schläft (When God is Asleep) was published. This collection of his original poems, lyrics and observations tell of his personal struggles with religion and provide searing insights into the true nature of Iranian society.
​
Shahin Najafi lives in Germany, and is still at odds with Iranian authorities. He remains a dedicated and defiant artist who refuses to be silenced, delivering his message to enthusiastic audiences wherever he tours. His fan base continues strong in Iran and has spread around the world.
