Lyrics (as shown in video):

ey ke toro parastidam
az khoda natarsidam!

vase kavire khoshke ghalbet
mese baroon shodam baridam

age to khak beshi man gardam
age to gham beshi man dardam

ey ke sh'ami oo man parvane
hamishe dore to migardam

toyi tamoome harf oo dardam
toyi garmie daste sardam

vaghty to kenaram hasty
man be dard oo gham mikhandam

gerye too sedam mimire
khande roo labam mishine

cheshmam too ayneye
cheshmat farda ro ghashang mibine!

Ashegham man ashegham
Daghe eshghet roo tanam

Man gharighe seyle eshgh
Mordeye eshghet manam

Har shabi roozi dare
Khazoon ke mire bahare

Ye dam khande ye lahze gham
in rasme roozegare

ey ke toro parastidam -------------------- oh you, the one that I worshiped
az khoda natarsidam!---------------------- I didn’t fear God

vase kavire khoshke ghalbet ------------- for the dry desert of your heart
mese baroon shodam baridam ----------- I became like rain and poured

age to khak beshi man gardam ---------- if you became soil, I’d become dust
age to gham beshi man dardam --------- if you became sadness, I’d become pain

ey ke sh'ami o man parvane --------------- oh you that are a candle, me a butterfly
hamishe dore to migardam --------------- I always fly around you

toyi tamoome harf o dardam --------------- you’re my whole words and pains
toyi garmie daste sardam ------------------ you’re the warmth of my cold hands

vaghty to kenaram hasty ------------------- when you’re beside me
man be dard o gham mikhandam ---------- I laugh at pains and sorrows

gerye too sedam mimire -------------------- sobs die in my voice
khande roo labam mishine ------------------ laughter sits on my lips

cheshmam too ayneye cheshmat ---------- my eyes in the mirror of your eyes
farda ro ghashang mibine!------------------ can see the world in a more beautiful way

Ashegham man ashegham ----------------- I’m in love
Daghe eshghet roo tanam ------------------ the heat of your love in my body

Man gharighe seyle eshgh ------------------ I’ve been drowned in love’s flood
Mordeye eshghet manam ------------------- I’ve died for your love

Har shabi roozi dare ------------------------ every night follows a day
Khazoon ke mire bahare ------------------- after autumn, spring comes

Ye dam khande ye lahze gham ------------ one minute laughter, one minute sorrow
in rasme roozegare ------------------------- this is the way of the world
