بهرام - لمس

شعبان اشن چی گده؟! (گیلکی)
شعبان اینا چی میگن؟!
جلو منو بگیر تو رو جون شعبان   نزار حرف بزنم  تو رو به قرعان
دیگه خستم از این جنگ مداوم  بزار منم بگم گور پدر ایران
منم می زنم تو تیریپ هنری    با  اشعار کم خطر و کمری
شاید نون و آبی گیر بیاد  حال کنیم با این جماعت حشری
میشم زبون بسته از فریاد  میزنم تو کار سمبل و نماد 
یه کم   کلفته ولی می ارزه    از پشت جنگ منو برج میلاد   
تو کارگری و حرفت قبول  زندگی سخته و مرد مسئول
آدم میزاد زیر بار مخارج    می فهممت گله هات معقول
می دونم دستات پینه بسته  چش زنت از دوخت و دوز خسته
پسرتم که میگن دوایی شده   هنوز دعا می کنی به اون گلدسته؟
هنوزم می ری پابوس امام رضا؟   راستی شفا گرفت دخترت ثریا؟
هنوزم  توی حسرت حج هستی؟   ایشالا کمک میکنه خود خدا!
حقوقت میرسه تا  آخر ماه؟   اصلا حقوق گرفتی تو این ماه؟
چته میزون نیستی پکری اوستا؟!  چته  چی شده گریه می کنی چرا؟!
شعبان خراب  بغضتم مرد     تو کوهی کم میاره پیش تو درد
بخند درست میشه وضع و اوضاع    این رئیس جدید یه وعده هایی کرد!
شعبان اشن چی گده؟! (گیلکی)
شعبان اینا چی میگن؟!
دیگه نمی خونم از نقی و مهدی   شعبان تو واسم امامی مردی
شعبان تو فرای همه اونایی       تو جایی نرفتی که برگردی
نه ماله کشی بلدی و زیرآب زنی     نه ژنو می دونی چی و چونه زنی
نه هسته ای حق مسلمته       حق تو اینکه  اینجا  جون بکنی
نه پول و پله و ارث و میراث  نه  رابطه با بزرگان و خواص
نه آرتیست دوزاری چش آبی  که از پهن واست بسازن اسکناس 
نه موزیسین خالطور شادی     نه دنبال مجوز ارشادی
نه تو دیسکوها غرقی و کاباره ها  نه تو تلویزیونا تز دادی 
 تو فقط هستی که رنج ببری  که له شی توی جبر کارگری
تو هستی که هستیتو بگیرن  شعر بشی یک شعر شعاری
من پشت کامپیتور هواتو دارم    روز کارگر استاتوس میزارم
رفقام هم از اقصی نقاط جهان  لایک می کنن و پاش کامنت می زارن!
شعبان اشن چی گده؟!(گیلکی)
شعبان اینا چی میگن؟!
دوباره آسمان دیل پوره بو/ سیه ابرانه جیر مهتاب کوره بو(گیلکی.به یاد معلمم فریدون پوررضا)
دوباره دل آسمان پر شد/ مهتاب زیر ابرهای سیاه کور شد   


Sha'aban
Stop me on Shaaban’s life; …Don’t let me speak for Quraan’s sake
I’m tired of this continuous war;…..  Let me say “the hell with Iran” as well
I’ll get into cultural pose too …..With less risky and swingy poems 
Maybe we could gain bread and water from it ….. We could have fun with this horny folks
I’ll get tongue-tied from outcry … Will get into iconic and symbolic work instead
It’s a bit thick but it’s worth it… From rear the fight between me and ‘Milad’ tower
You’re a workman and your word is accepted …Life is hard and a responsible man
One would give in under the expenses weight …. I understand your reasonable grumbles
I know your hands got calluses… Your wife’s eyes are tired from sewing
They also say your son has become a druggy.. Do you still pray to that minaret?
Do you still go kissing ‘Imam Reza’s foot?...  By the way, did your daughter Sorayya get healed?
Are you still longing to go to Hajj?... God-willing he himself will help you
Will your salary last until end of the month?.. Did you even get paid this month at all?
What’s up? You’re not all right, you’re pensive chief!… What’s up? What happened? You’re crying, why?
Shaaban I’m ruined for the lump in your throat.. You’re a mountain; pain is nothing in your face
Smile, the situation will get better… This new president has given some promises
I won’t sing about Naqi and Mahdi anymore… Shaaban, you’re the Imam for me, you’re the Man
Shaaban, you’re above them all… You haven’t gone anywhere, to need to get back
You know no cover-ups or betrayals….. You don’t know what Geneva is and don’t know any haggling 
Atomic energy is not your absolute right…. Your right is to succumb to death here
No money, wealth, will or legacy  ….. No connection with notables or nobles
No, you’re no worthless blue-eyed artist…. To make money note for you out of manure
You’re neither a joyous entertaining musician….. Nor you’re after Ershad’s* approval
*Ministry of Ershad (Ministry of Culture and Islamic Guidance)
You’re neither drowned in discos and cabarets…Nor you’ve given theses on TVs
You just exist to suffer…. To be squashed in laboring hardship
You exist for them to take your existence away ….. To become a poem, a slogan poem
I’m backing you from behind my computer monitor…. I’ll change my status* on Labor Day
*(Facebook status)
My friends from all around the world….. Will ‘like’ and will put comments under it

آلیس - آلبوم ص شاهین نجفی

سرزمینِ عجایبه این‌جا، دست‌هامو بگیر! «آلیسم»!
خونِ رگ‌هامو وام می‌گیرم تا همه ماجرا رو بنویسم...

سرزمینِ عجایبه این‌جا، باغیه از گلای آدم‌خوار
مردمش تخمه می‌شکنن وقتِ رقصِ محکوم روی چوبه‌ی دار

سگا رو به گلوله می‌بندن، گرگایی که نشسته می‌شاشن
مَردهاش مثلِ کوه ایستادن، روی زن‌ها اسید می‌پاشن!

مردمی که با آرزوهاشون غرق می‌شن تو قیمه‌ی نذری
مثل یه مزرعه که گندم رو خواب می‌بینه توی بی‌بذری

دیگه فرقی نداره واسه‌ی کسی، مزه‌ی قرصِ نون، با قرصِ برنج
هنوزم می‌شه خوابِ راحت داشت توی عمقِ یه گورِ راحت و دنج

زندگی این‌جا سخته! «آلیسم»! تو صفِ خودفروش‌ها بودن
بینِ حلقه‌به‌گوش‌ها بودن، گربه تو شهرِ موش‌ها بودن

من هنوزم رو زخم‌هام هستم، می‌گم از دخترای زنده به گور
رو این پرچمِ موافقِ باد، می‌مونم مثلِ وصله‌ا‌ی ناجور

تا همیشه بُزِ گَرِ گله‌م، تا ابد یه جذامی‌ام این‌جا
شیشه‌ی شعرو برق می‌ندازم، با غمِ تو نیازمندی‌ها

روی دیوارهای فیس‌بوکِم، چوب‌خط می‌کشه یه زندانی
می‌نویسم ولی - به قول فروغ – با همین دست‌های سیمانی

همه‌ی بغض‌های ناگفته‌م، اشک می‌شن تو چشمای خیسم،
سرزمینِ عجایبه این‌جا، دست‌هامو بگیر «آلیسم»... //

It's over!
Again at your cheek dimple, like a war trench!
On your lips’ borderline...
I want the deep night-invasion into your hair!
For Imam’s sake, don’t say it’s over!

I’m the martyr in “Karbala-X” of your voice (2)
I’m the POW of your eyes’ “Ba’athist” coquetry (3)
I’m the defender of your veil’s sanctum (4)
Don’t say it’s over! For the sake of Imam!

You’re the explicit text (of Quran) and I’m a fake Hadith (5)
How charming you sweep me off my feet, you the local pigeon!
Should I become “Yazid” to “Zaynab” of your beautiful gaze? (6)
You’d be thirsty and I become water for you! 
We’d wearily drown together in “Euphrates” (7)
Don’t say it’s over! For Imam’s sake!

Veil your face in front of me! Debar me!
Torture me and then calm me down!
Laugh again with the sound of me sobbing!
For the sake of Imam, don’t say it’s over!

Oh, you "Ahurani Goddess"! (8)
Spectacular!
You’re the asleep lust of all men
Stay young, so that we grow old together!
Dance stealthy with the rhythm of my kisses
Don’t say it’s over! For Imam’s sake!

1. Here “Imam” is referring to “Ayatollah Khomeini”, Iranian clerk and leader of the 1979 Islamic Revolution, founding “Islamic Republic of Iran”. The song uses many terms related to the Islamist-hardliners’ culture, which was vastly shaped after the Islamic revolution and during the Iran–Iraq war in the 1980s.
2. Referring to the military operations “Karbala 1 to 7”, Iranian offensives during the Iran–Iraq war, which lead to great sieges and also terrible defeats.
3. Refers to “Ba’ath” Party of Iraq, governing the country for many decades, also during Iran–Iraq War under the leadership of “Saddam Hussein”. There are many reports about Iranian “Prisons of War” being tortured and murdered in “Ba’athist” POW camps.
4. Referring to Islamist-hardliners, the defenders of mandatory Hijab and also “Holy Shrine Defenders” (In Persian as Modafean-e-Haram) a phrase which the Iranian Islamic (Shia) regime uses for their military advisers and militia who are fighting in Iraq and Syria in the name of defending Shia Holy Shrines against Sunni warriors.
5. “Hadith” in Islam refers to what Muslims believe to be a record of the words and actions of the Islamic prophet Muhammad, many of which are controversial for their unreliable origin.
6. “Yazid ibn Mu'awiya” commonly known as Yazid I, was an Islamic Arabic caliph from 680 to 683. His caliphate was marked by the battle of “Karbala” and the death of his rival Muhammad's grandson “Husayn ibn Ali”, whose sister “Zaynab bint Ali” was held captive and forced to march unveiled to Damascus, where “Yazid” throned.
7. The river “Euphrates” confluences the “Tigris” river to form the “Shatt al-Arab” river which makes the borderline between Iraq and Iran for about eighty kilometers, a battle zone during the Iran–Iraq war.
8. As “Divine beauty”, referring to “Ahura Mazda”, the creator and highest deity of “Zoroastrianism”, the ancient religion in Iran and Middle East, which still has some followers. The term “Ahurai” is also used by some nationalists and monarchists in Iran.

Shahin Najafi - Single

TAMAM

Tamam

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.
