Persian fusion music from Sydney band Avaye Rood. A song based on the poetry of the great Persian Sufi poet, Hafiz. 

Lyrics:
And for no reason I start skipping like a child 
- for no reason 
And for no reason I turn into a leaf 
- for no reason 

I am carried so high That I kiss the sun and dissolve.
For no reason.

And for no reason one thousand birds 
are meeting in my head.
And for no reason these thousand birds 
are chattering in my head.

They start passing the wine 
and these crazy songbooks around.

For every reason I laugh and laugh eternally
For every reason I love and love eternally

Now that I am a leaf I’ll start dancing around and around.
I am running to meet Our beautiful friend with a kiss.  
For every reason.

For every reason I dissolve in the truth that I am
