Shahin Najafi's latest song (CDbaby Download), a powerful response to the recent threats against his life. The English lyrics are in the clip description.
سری میان دست تو بریده// نگاه من به ساعت پوکیده
و شعرهای غمگین و عاصی //و گرگ خسته کز تفنگ نترسیده
به شبهه های من به اصل هستی //به بغض بی کسیت وقت مستی
وحسرت تو را و بو کشیدن// و عمق فاجعه: تو را ندیدن
رگی که سرنوشتش انسداد است// وجرم تو که داد پیش باد است
همیشه انتهای قصه تلخ است //و شاعری که حکم اش ارتداد است
خدای خواب خوب تو کتابم //منی خشک روی تخت خوابم
خدای خوبِ خشم و قتل و فتوا //و گریه های من به شعر یغما
مرا بخوان به کاکتوس ماندن // بمان کنار من که شعر خواندن
کنار تو به عهد با کویری// که رمز ماست ایستاده مردن
بگو حدیث ما حدیث خون بود //شرارتی که ناشی از جنون بود
بگو چگونه ما واندادیم //بگو که مردیم و ایستادیم
خدای خواب خوِب تو کتابم //منی خشک روی تخت خوابم
خدای خوب ِخشم و قتل و فتوا// و گریههای من به شعر یغما
مرا بخوان به کاکتوس ماندن //بمان کنار من که شعر خواندن
کنار تو به عهد با کویری //که رمز ماست ایستاده مردن
که رمز ماست ایستاده مردن
که رمز ماست ایستاده مردن
که رمز ماست ایستاده مردن

I agree with Mehrdad
by Souri on Tue Jun 05, 2012 07:27 PM PDTBavafa is absolutely right.
Not to undermine Shahin's courage, of course.
Mehrdad says "'Hambastegi' is the main key to victory"
by pas-e-pardeh on Tue Jun 05, 2012 05:40 PM PDTMeanwhile pours cold water over our enthusiasm for Shahin's courage who is leading us against IRI barbarism. Way to go Mehrdad ;)

Translation fail
by pas-e-pardeh on Tue Jun 05, 2012 05:32 PM PDT"istadeh mordan" means "to die standing" or "dying tall", NOT "standing dead". Big difference.
Thanks just the same for the post. Will support him.
Thank you!
by Rebecca on Tue Jun 05, 2012 04:39 PM PDTThank you Shahin Najafi for your courage. Thank you Jahanshah for giving us the link to support him. Please don't forget to buy his Hich CD. The more attention he gets the more slap on the face of dirty mollahs. Long Live Liberty.

Great song
Wow!!
by Chocolate Puma on Tue Jun 05, 2012 08:28 AM PDTWhat a great song! What a breath of fresh air this dude is! Love absolutely everything about him!
I just bought all his works from CDBaby just to support his noble cause even though I have a couple of his albums already.
God Bless you, man!
His courage is admirable!
by BeeTaraf on Tue Jun 05, 2012 08:17 AM PDTHis music might be repetitive or whatever, but we must all agree that he is brave. He has made a stand for his artistic freedom against the most tyrannical regime. I like this song and will buy it... If we want a free society, we need to support more people like him.
Brilliant

Best statement on ic by jmyt17, Silence is a War Crime
by amirparvizforsecularmonarchy on Tue Jun 05, 2012 01:54 AM PDTSo true, so true, so true.
Well,
by iraj khan on Mon Jun 04, 2012 09:23 PM PDTNajafi's songs are becoming repetitive in content, lyrics, delivery and rhythm.
His best and last interesting song was 'Nagoftamat Keh Naroo' and he has stopped creating anything different since then.

Translation
by Mashangjoon on Mon Jun 04, 2012 11:42 AM PDTThe proper translation should be "Die Standing" not "standing dead" Great song. Just bought it...

Just like Salman Rushdie….
by Bavafa on Mon Jun 04, 2012 10:17 AM PDTHe owes the nut house IRI and its moronic leaders a big THANK YOU for giving them the greatest publicity & fame.
I like his songs and voice, but believe no one could give him the kind of publicity that IRI has done.
'Hambastegi' is the main key to victory
Mehrdad
