We Don’t Want It Either

This is my adaptation of lyrics of a song by Majid Afshari, performed by Ehsan Khaje Amiri.

We Don’t Want It Either

This world doesn’t want us
We don’t want it either
Let’s get out!
Why stay!

Let’s go to a place where its sun is not a lie
A place where its moon always smiles,
and it’s never without a shine  

A place where life, is without iniquity
Where we’ll build a life together, lovingly

This world is guilt-ridden
We don’t want it
Many unanswerable questions
We don’t want it

Full of sorrow and torments,
We don’t want it
So many twist and turns,
We don’t want it

This world doesn’t want us
We don’t want it either
Let’s get out!
Why stay!

Let’s go to a place where its sun is not a lie
A place where its moon always smiles,
and it’s never without a shine  

A place where life, is without iniquity
Where we’ll build a life together, lovingly

They tell us; “Where are you, airheads?”
“Are you from here, or belong there?”
Let them say what they may
We don’t belong to this world
We’re all 'deviated'
We don’t belong to this world

This word doesn’t want us
We don’t want it either
We don’t want it either

Let’s go to a place where its sun is not a lie
Its sun is not a lie

A place where life, is without iniquity
Where we’ll build a life together, lovingly

A place where life, is without iniquity
Where we’ll build a life together, lovingly

Hi! MPD,

    I listened to the song yesterday.....the guy is a crooner.....I also listened 5 more tracks from the same album by the same singer on you-tube.....the guy has a very gentle voice......it seems to me that no Persian instruments were used in the music......I heard piano on one track.....synthesizer on another.....one track sounds really jazzy.....

I have to say that the lyrics of the song has covered this world's problems pretty thoroughly......this stanza is very sad:

This world doesn’t want us
We don’t want it either
Let’s get out!
Why stay!

I wonder if AR Pahlavi heard the same song!

The good thing is that the refrain is very positive, so lets hope for the best!

Thank you for sharing and for all your blogs!

«وایبریشنِ رو حوضی توی گوشم شُکی‌ زدند و‌ منم به خنده گفتم، ‌ای فرشتهء کثافت، برو به داد و‌ فریادِ خودت برس!
امکانی هست ، بزرگ، که موضوع عبارت از عادته.  همینطوری که شما خوشتون میاد.»

But to reiterate, your translations are truly commendable.

Hi! MPD,

 I really like the "refrain" of the song:

A place where life, is without iniquity
Where we’ll build a life together, lovingly

I am glad that the refrain got repeated 4 times!

I will listen to the song after work!

thank you for the translation
