Benyamin - '85' Album

hallo again Vanda,

well, thank you for your willignes to help. This is great. A big help for us not farsi speakers. :-)

i will follow your advice and will download this Idin album (downloading in process right now).

As a secon request (a big one) a would like to have all songs from benyamin, album 85 (I think it is named). Do you kknow him?...This was my favoit album from the last 3 months. I have listened to it almost 10 times per day. Again, Icould not understand anything, but for sure, i can iidentifyanybody speaking farsi t once!. :-)

You dont need to do it all at once. I wont have time to process them either. You can do it slowly. So, please start by the song you preffer. I love all of them!! Except the last one... I think it is something about a robot or something...

Well, i hope thisis not too much work (well, it is, but as i said, do it slowly).

Hasta luego! (until later)

PD: in spanish es MI AMOR, in Iatalian MIO AMORE :-)

ya deary. i know beniamin(benjamin).
he is really young. he was born in 1982(september-9) in tehran.
then...yes. the album's name is 85.
check album's lyrics in persian font here : T Music | بنیامین بهادری
and a link to download the full album for who interested:
Bnyamin : 85

well i'll do it gradually day to day. ok?

i love that song in the name"khatere ha" which means "memories!" i think it is number 3 in album.
i start with "khatere ha" cuz i have a lot of memories with that.

cheshmamo ro ham mizaramo --- i close my eyes
toro be yadam miyaramo --- i remember you

dobare dast tekun midan ona --- they(1) shake hand to me(2)
toro behem neshun midan ona --- and they show you to me

kam miyaram akhe toro --- then i lose you
toro beyadam miyaramao --- i remember you

donia dige mesle to nadare --- the world has'nt someone else like you
nadare na mitune biyare --- it(3) has'nt and it will never has(someone like you) even in future
dela hame bigharare eshghan --- all hearts interest to love
ama eshghe ke vase to bigharare(4) --- but love interests to you
hishki mesle to nemitune --- no body like you
nemitune ghalbamo bekhune(5) --- (no body except you) can't understand my heart
bego bego kodom khiyabune --- tell me tell me which avenue
ke mano be to mitune beresune --- (which avenue)can link us together?

na --- no
nadare donia, mesle to mesle to --- the world has'nt, (someone) like you, like you
nadare donia, mesle to mesle to --- the world has'nt, (someone) like you, like you


* "they" here means "your memories"
** shake hand such as "bye bye" mode when someone goes far away from home
*** the world
**** "bi gharar" means restless. but this sentence means interest
***** "bekhune" means "reads" but this sentence means understand

of course i meant "some one"

and persian font:

چشمامو رو هم میذارمو
تو رو بیادم میارمو
دوباره دست تکون میدن اونا
تو رو به هم نشون میدن اونا

کم میارم آخه تو رو
تو رو بیادم میارمو

دنیا دیگه مثل تو نداره
نداره نه می تونه بیاره
دلا همه بیقراره عشقن
اما عشقه که واسه تو بی قراره
هیشکی مثل تو نمیتونه
نمیتونه قلبمو بخونه
بگو بگو کدوم خیابونه
که منو به تو میتونه برسونه؟
نه...
نداره دنیا مثل تو... مثل تو...
نداره دنیا مثل تو... مثل تو...

@ well. this song in translation may seems a bit foolish but in the origin language(farsi) it is so nice.

some word to learn:
*man : I * *to : you* *cheshm or chashm : eye* *cheshmat or chashmhat :
your eyes* *ghalb : heart* *ghalbam : my heart* *ghalbet : your heart* *aziz : dear* *azizam : my dear* *amma : but*

Hallo Vanda,

maybe you do not imaging (or maybe yes) how fantastic feeling invades my body by understanding the menaing of those songs (maybe it also happened to you with songs in other languages)
It is funny but, although you I could not understand, i could somehow feel what is he talking about. I knew "azizan", "doset daran", eschg (or whoever you write Love!, dokhtar, dary... I also knew deer, but i had forgotten. :-)
You know, this album also brings me lots of memories, specially songs Loknat, ashegh shodan y kharetaha. But somehow i liek very much man enham mimiram (which I believe menas i will die tonight). I was in Dubai for a week with some Persian friends and this was the CD of the moment. Loud volumen in the car all the time. I could almost sing the songs by heart! Although they make no sense for me.
So, now, thanks to you, I can sing in front of the mirror much better ;-)))

Sorry for this first BIIIIG request!

first, you're welcome azizam. you are my friend and it is not a big work for a friend sweetie.
and second, laura! azizam... how do you know that? :-O
yes -man emshab mimiram- means "i will die tonight" i must say you are really smart dokhtar
personally in this album i love "khatereha" and "man emshab mimiram"
oh. i forget that. do you ever seen his face?
check his official website New Page 1
and specially his gallery : BenyaminMusic.com
and his song's lyrics: BenyaminMusic.com

always be happy

ye ashegh, bi ghayegh, to daryaha --- a lover, without any boat, in the seas
cheshmasho mibande, to royaha --- he/she* will close his/her eyes, in the dreams
man ashegh, bi ghayegh --- i'm such a lover, without any boat
to daryaha mimiram --- i'll die in the seas
cheshmamo mibandam --- i'll close my eyes
bi roya mimiram --- i'll die without the dream
miram o mimiram --- i'll go and die
asudeh misham az eshgh --- i'll get quiet without love
miram o mimiram --- i'll go and die
jashne tavalode margamo baraye to zire ab migiram --- i will celebrate my death-day for you, under water (1)

ye ziba, negahesh be moja --- a beautiful(2), he/she will look at the waves
ye ashegh, bi sahel, to darya --- a lover, without beach, in the sea
pariyaye darya, man emshab mimiram --- oh sea's fairys, i will die tonight
az eshghe ye ziba --- for a beautiful's love(2)
man emshab mimiram --- i will die tonight
miram o mimiram --- i'll go and die
asudeh misham az eshgh --- i'll get quiet without love
miram o mimiram --- i'll go and die
jashne tavalode margamo baraye to zire ab migiram --- i will celebrate my death-day for you, under water

jashne tavalode margamo baraye to zire ab migiram --- i will celebrate my death-day for you, under water


* in persian, there is no different between male and female in verbs or doers or...

1- celebrating for death-day is an allusion.
2- beautiful! he talks about a beautiful person. for example a beautiful girl like me and you
3- well. burning in the sea!! it's impossible but it's also an allusion! "sukhtan" means "burning" it is a symbol about "spoiling"


some word to learn:
*ab : water* *asudeh : quiet* *tanha : alone* *roya :dream* roya-ha : dreams* *emshab : tonight* *tavalod : birth* *pari : fairy*

persian font :

من امشب میمیرم

يه عاشق، بي قايق، تو درياها
چشماشو مي بنده، تو روياها
من عاشق، بي قايق
تو درياها مي ميرم
چشمامو مي بندم
بي رويا مي ميرم
ميرم و مي ميرم
آسوده ميشم از عشق
ميرم و مي ميرم
جشن تولد مرگمو براي تو زير آب ميگيرم

يه زيبا، نگاهش به موجا
يه عاشق، بي ساحل، تو دريا
پرياي دريا، من امشب مي ميرم
از عشق يه زيبا
من امشب مي ميرم
ميرم و مي ميرم
آسوده ميشم از عشق
ميرم و مي ميرم
جشن تولد مرگمو براي تو زير آب ميگيرم
یه عاشق، من عاشق، بي قايق
تو درياها
چشمامو مي بندم
بي رويا
يه زيبا
نگاشو چه آروم به موجا مي دوزه
يه عاشق، بي ساحل
چه تنها تو دريا مي سوزه
ميرم و مي ميرم آسوده ميشم از عشق
ميرم و مي ميرم
جشن تولد مرگمو براي تو زير آب ميگيرم

i love every thing about this custom but really hate about firecrackers. their's sound make me crazy

well. i must go.
always be happy

Hallo Vanda,


thank you agin for the song. Is is still more beautiful when you understand the meaning.
You know, it is very nice that you point the meaning of some words. It helps a lot!. I find interesting to know how things are said in your language.
I dont know why, but i believe Farsi is easier to learn as arabic :-). But I caanot change now! Maybe after arabic, i will start with Farsi. But there are many words simmilar, arent there?

Thanks again and have a nice time in this special evening,

laura

age ye vaght boghz mikunam(1) --- if sometimes i choked with tears
gahi tabasom mikunam --- or sometimes i smile
mikham begam asheghetam --- i want say i love you
dasto pamo gom mikonam(2) --- but i'm hasty

mikham begam june mani --- i want say you are my soul(life)

mikham begam dooset daram --- i want say i love you
ama za zabonam* mi migire* --- but my tongue stammers

m man age to to ro ro do dobare na na na na na nabinamet* --- if i don't see you again

m man age to to ro ro do dobare na na na na na nabinamet* --- if i don't see you again

vaghti harfamo mikhurdam --- when i was silence

vaghti labham o midukhtam --- when my lips were close

mi mimiram* --- i will die
m man age to to ro ro do dobare na na na na na nabinamet* --- if i don't see you again
mi mimiram* --- i will die



* he sings these parts stammeringly exactly such a stammer

1- "boghz" means "spite". but here means "tear"
2- in literally traslation "dast o pamo gom mikonam" means "i lose my hand and foot" but actually it means "i'm hasty"
3- "az cheshme kasi oftadan" means"droping from someone's eyes" it's a proverb. and it means "become worthless in the presence of a friend"
4- "khastam" means "i wanted" but in sentence it mixed by "nayoftam" in meaning. so it becomed a negative verb (it's an exception in this sentence)



some word from this lyric to learn:
*dast : hand* *pa : foot* *lab : lip* *labha : lips* *labham or labhaye man : my lips* *gahi : sometimes* *vaght : time* *vaghti : when* *ye vaght : sometimes* *jun : soul or life* *june man or junam : my soul* *tabasom : smile* *mikham or mikhaham : i want* *atish or atash : fire* *atish gereftan : to burning* *joft : partner* *joftam or jofte man : my partner* *mimiram or khaham mord : i will die* *daram mimiram : i'm dying* *asheghetam or dooset daram : i love you*

well, laura.
i know you understand arabic alphabet but in persian we have 4 letter more than arabic:

گ : G : sound such as "garden"
چ : Ch : such as "chair"
پ : P : such as "people"
ژ : j or zh : such as "journalist"

and about persian learning. you are right. we have about 50% of arabic words in our language. also we have an equivalent or even sometimes 2-3 equivalents for every arabic word and we use all of thems in our daily speaking. so it's better that you learn arabic and then persian. it would be easer if you know arabic and then persian. if i'd alive to that time i will teach you persian 8-)
about 1400 years ago and after moslems attack to persia,iraq,lebanon,egypt and... from that time our language impressed with arabian words but we never allowed our language completly change.
we learn arabic in high school but in bookly mode. you know? for example we can read an arabic book and understand the subject but that phonetic is different about some words so arabic speaking for a persian needs practicing.

Hallo Vanda,

sorry for my silence, but I had some busy days. Thanks again for all your lyrics and explanations. You cant imaging how happy I am to have them. Now I am recording Benyamin CD to all my friends together with the lyrics. The look at my as if I were crazzy, but usually find it interesting. You know, I bought yesterday a couple of books for learning Farsi. Of course I am not intending to lear it now together with arabic (it would be a chaos!) but I like to understand the minimal structure of the language. And your songs are really helpfull for me. And I reaaly appreciate when you translate some words, becuase like this I can follow the lyrics much better.
You are really doing a god job azizan! :-))))

ژ : j or zh : such as "journalist"

by the way, I do not understand this... doest it mean that this letter can have two sounds "j" and "zh" or that you can represent it in two different ways but the sound is the same?
