*****

To przez Ciebie On wraca do domu nad ranem
You're the reason why he comes back home at dawn

wierząc w jedno przepraszam za tysiąc swych głupstw
Thinking that a single "I'm sorry" will be enough for thousands of stupid things he's done

To przez Ciebie jej płacz nocą słyszę zza ściany
You're the reason why I hear her crying through the wall at nights

gdy mu dłoń sciskasz w pięść, co opada na stół
When you turn his hand into a fist that falls down on the table


Oskarżam Cię o łez strumienie,
I accuse you of streams of tears

osamotnienie,
Of loneliness

zdradę i gniew
Of betrayal and anger

Oskarżam Cię o to cierpienie,
I accuse you of this suffering

wojen płomienie,
Of flames of wars

przelaną krew
Of the blood that's been shed

Testosteron
Testosterone


Ty go uczysz jak nie sercem, lecz czuć rozumem
You teach him how to feel with a mind and not with a heart

chcesz, by wierzył, że kochanie na sprzedaż jest
You want him to believe that love is something for sale

Ty wmówiłeś, że strach lepszy jest niż szacunek
You've persuaded him that fear is better than respect

więc mu broń wkładasz w dłoń i wciąż każesz mu biec
So you put a gun into his hand and you keep forcing him to run


Oskarżam Cię o łez strumienie,
I accuse you of streams of tears

osamotnienie,
Of loneliness

zdradę i gniew
Of betrayal and anger

Oskarżam Cię o to cierpienie,
I accuse you of this suffering

wojen płomienie,
Of flames of wars

przelaną krew
Of the blood that's been shed

Testosteron
Testosterone


Oskarżam Cię...
I accuse you...

This was the very first song of Kayah that I've heard. You've recommended her to me and after that, this magnificent lady has become one of my all time favourite artists.

I want to say something about the lyrics. Napoleon Bonaparte in of his speeches said that there was something deep inside of him, in his blood, that gave him the rage and the desire for participating in numerous battles. I think Kayah probably read those lines too.

As a man, I feel that this damned testosterone is one of the main sources of my problems in life.

Thank you again Pawel

Thank you so much, Owlie jan!
Your comments make me believe that my translating efforts have any sense!

Da.mn testosterone!

So, perhaps you'll be so kind to translate your comments into English or Polish?

Ok,

Armita: OMG.....chize dige ee nabud behesh gir bede ke chasbide be testosterone?

OMG..... Couldn't she find another subject other than testoeterone for her song ?

Me: Belakhare azizam dar beyne artist ha ham divoone peyda mishe. Vali man in divoonegi ro doost daram, be nazaram kheyli jaleb bood va man ba in ahang asheghe Kayah shodam.

My dear, crazy artists can be found amongst artists as well. (you already know what me and Armita mean by the word "crazy"). But I love this craziness. In my opinion, this song is very interesting. I fell in love with Kayah with this song.

@Armita jan -

Azizam, the subject of this song is not testosterone, for God's sake!
It's men, of course, and their awful deeds ... but she tries to explain their behaviour and excuse them in women's eyes and so she points at the masculine hormone as the culprit.

Lovely, mamnoonam.
There's another bit left!

Hey Guies!
I'm working on my album,these r the titels.how r they?
1-somatotropin (excusing height & width)
2-LH & FSH (excusing sexual desire)
3-thyroxine (excusing extra energy for unwanted works)
4-antidiuretic (excusing why it doesn't work for men)
5-progesterone!
The last song will be published apart from others and available just for ladies.(tahte lisanse IRIB)

Erm ... what would be the excuse for progesterone, please?

Armita, I love your sense of humour! And those titles! Congrats on your vast knowledge of all those substances! I guess the album title should be then "Hormonally Yours"
Funny thing is that there's a Polish song titled "Hormones" and part of the lyrics goes as follows:

"Hormones, hormones
This isn't love
This is just hormones"

It looks like Poles have some hormone fixation

the excuse for progesterone is (why women love these testosterone made men)

maybe i should introduce my album to public in poland!!!!!
definitely I'll find more fans!

Lollllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll lllllllllllllll

You and our shining star of the forum, I mean AstorIas, would make a very nice couple.

My analysis:

1- Yeah, we're short in comparison with Europeans, and it's not fair. The debut song is well organized.

2- With that song, your album will be rated as "Mature" or "Explicit Content".

3- Yes, as you know, middle eastern people have PHD in indolence.

4- Another "Mature" song, it also will cause your album to be labeled as a "Feminist Act in Iran".

5- Now, your album is banned and you would send to "Evin Detention" soon. So, me and Pawel should go and take you out of there.

Armita,

We're waiting for you!
Come anytime!
Your explanation for "Progesterone" is just B.R.I.L.L.I.A.N.T.

Oh, if only Kayah knew what an effect her song had on your professional career! She'd be delighted, I suppose!

5-no plzzzzzzz don't do that....
for sure they gonna ask : shoma che nesbati ba khanoom darid? (translate it for Paul plz ontor ke bayado shayad)
and then not only both of u would be sent to prison but also my conviction would get longer.

Eazee azeezam!
We'll tell them you're del-e divooneh and this should do!

Paw u'd better take care of yourself....
Bij have some mysterious plans for u in Iran.
he admitted that just 20 min ago...

oh Paw...don't u know in Iran crazy people r the prison's gaurd not the prisoner?
If they understand that I'm one of those (that persian idiom) definitely I'd find a job there...

Sure dear,
"What relationship do you have with this lady?"

Is it halal or haram? (I'm so happy that you know Turkish Pawel)
