What happened to tombstone?

Dear PersiangirlinParis,

You can use this google service to type Perglish(!) and have it translitrated to Persian. Then you can cut and paste it wherever you wish: www.google.com/transliterate/persian

Thank you very much for your brilliant idea about the tombstone. I will surely be more than happy to chip in. Does anyone know how come he was burried in France since he lived in Iran all these years?

I would assume that his family are in the best position to decide about the design of the tombstone, etc. So, even if we manage to collect money for this purpose, how would we run it past them? Does anyone know his family or have any kind of relation with them?

Like I said, I am all up for it and will definitely contribute more than the amount suggested (1 Euro).

I too have always loved his songs. My wife who does not speak Persian very well loves his Gonjeshkak e Ashi Mashi and even made an effort to learn the words. When my little daughter was a baby, she wouldn't eat her breakfast until we played this song for her every morning on the Youtube. She now sings a few of his songs along with me whenever I hum them. This is enough proof that Farhad will never die in our hearts.

Thanks

Lovely Clips. He is a legend.

زمان در من خواهد مرد و من بر زمان خواهم خفت

Excellent tribute... and not remotely enough for his greatness.

Roohesh shad I saw him too , once close in person @ cuccini near poli d'ore and his "come down jesus" and all his other memorables plays througout our life ringing in my ears.

P.s  that head stone replacement and  all can be done directly through thiasis commune and the paris municipal.        thanks  Maziar

Farhad went through the same journey that most of us did

from grieving the young men killed in Siahkal (Fanoos khamoosh),  to dreaming about a solid roof,  to elation of a coming revolution (Khabeem o bidar), to nagging doubts about the intention of the Islamists ( Jaa hast beesh o kam azadeh ra?) to cursing the grand master of deception ( To ham ba ma naboodee ay avar , ay sail e mosibatbar). But rather than taking the next plane , or next herd of sheep out of Iran like most of us, he stayed in his beloved country and suffered and sang his heart out. He was the most noble, talented , intelligent and humble singer in the history of persian music. One  of the very few who broke the mold of crooning about the coldhearted lover or dancing 6 and 8.  There will never be another Farhad.

Let us know what to do and how to do it please.

Do you know to whom we can get the money to get a suitable tombstone for Farhad?  I'll be happy to contribute and to collect from others.  Does it have to be a family member who decides on the tombstone?  Can you find out what we need to do?

The BEST!

Farhad was truly one of a kind, The Best!  I also grew up listening to his music when I was in high school. In the cold and snowy days in Tehran, listening to Hafteh Khakestari, Reza Motori, etc., etc..  His voice and his songs live forever.

  با برو بچّه

با برو بچّه ها رفته بودیم «کوچینی»، فرهاد مثل همیشه پشت پیانو نشسته بود و بدون توجّه به احدی کار خودشو میکرد، احساسش رو میریخت روی کلاویه های پیانو و ....دیروز که جوان تر بودم (Yesterday when I was young) رو میخوند و ..........

رفتیم و ازش خواهش کردیم که هفتهء بعد که جشن معارفهء سال اوّلی ها بود یه سر بیاد دانشکده و ........اومد!

وقتی برنامهء سُلی تموم شد فرهاد رفت رو صحنه، جلد گیتارش رو باز کرد، یه سیگار روشن کرد و بعد از دو سه تا پک عمیق سیگارش رو گذاشت رو سر دستهء گیتار و خوند! فقط دو تا آهنگ! گیتارش رو گذاشت تو جعبه اش و ............

حتّی سرش رو بلند نکرد ببینه تو اون سالن ٥ نفر هست یا پنجاه هزار نفر! همونطور که بی سر و صدا اومد تو همونجورم سالن رو ترک کرد!

روانت شاد بچّه محل، واقعاً که «صدای بیصدا» بودی

FARHAD E MEHRAD HAMISHE YADEGAR

It seems as if he really sang that song for himself. It is as if he knew  the real meaning of "mard e tanha= the lonely man or pehaps the last man" maybe, and maybe he meant himself. 

Che khub mishod ...

Che khub mishod ...

har Irani keh dar har jaye donya beh yade ishun hast, 1 euro migozasht ta ghabre ishun aalan dar cimetière Thiais dar humeh Paris bedune sange ghabr namouneh ..

makhsusan ba fara residane fasle barun o sarma keh khak o gel ruye plaque kuchiki ke esme ishun rush hast ro begireh va digeh neshuni az mazareshun ham namouneh

Thank you

I grew up with his eternal voice and songs. God bless his soul. There will never be another Farhad who tried to express the pains of common people with his wonderful voice.

Thank you for posting this

How I miss him he was one of the best. I can listen to him day in and day out and never get tired. Rohash shad
