Delam ye gule otish
Tanam kurye doghe
Vali tu hame dunyo
Darigh az iye cheroghe

Az un gusheye dunyo
Be in gusheh residam
Nagin dunyo qashange

Azobe sine suze
Nagin gerye ro bas kon
Nagin dunyo do ruze

Kodum naleye shabgir
Kodum verde shabune
Kodum telesm o jodu

Love this tune, her voice and the backing music are well intertwined.

Would love to hear more Middle Eastern music on RP.... :)



Perhaps you need to be more specific?

Does it matter? Like it or not, it's the music you're listening to.

There is a lot of beautiful music out there - but it doesn't get much more beautiful and soulful than this.
Beautiful Soul...

That's why I quit my last job. I'm of every radio if it's turned on all day. On RP however I can switch between mixes which is great feature.
 
 
Yeah I was just reading in Reddit last night from several people who quit their jobs over constant garbage on the radio, day in and day out -- the same songs over and over.  The effect of bad music on morale is definitely not trivial.

I'm sitting at my desk with ear plugs in paying my bills when through the plugs I hear what sounds like Persian music.  I'm thinking to myself WTF?  Radio Paradise playing Persian music!?  Being Persian myself, I am pleasantly surprised {#Laughing}  Way to go, Bill!  {#Cheers}
This is a good primer for the Mehregan festival I will be attending tomorrow.
From me 7 - Quite Likeable
Love this tune, her voice and the backing music are well intertwined.

I love the atmospheric string instruments, and hearing the way she sings those heartfelt lyrics in Farsi is an exquisite treat. All Hail RP!
Someone is singing in some language other than English!

Quick, to the listener comments section to showcase my xenophobia! 
{#Doh}
I love this song and having new international music like this on Radio Paradise is one of the biggest reasons that I subscribe.  Having old familiar songs that I haven't heard in a long time makes RP amazing but being surprised by a song by an artist that I've never heard before is a delight.  Keep it up.
I was just reading the comments on the previous song (Friends by LZ) and people complaining about not playing Celebration Song next since they segue together.

All is forgiven Bill, the segue into this one was perfect!  Seamless.  How do you think of this stuff?

love this comment!  ..it's great how that 93% seems to reflect also the chunk of your imagination that's missing. Ya know if you add a few colors to your box of crayons the world might look a little brighter. 7 colors or 64..?  hmm... that's a tough one.

I wish to hear more oriental rhythms on RP. Omar Faruk Tekbilek would sound very nice here ;)

Wow a'gin, how cool t'is so cold?


I'm going to assume that this is fantastic and it just goes over my head.  Musically, it's good.  Vocally, it's good.  I don't think the fact that it's not in English bothers me all that much. 

Something just isn't clicking with me.
Thanks and have a nice day

MC, she died of Aids and her fans heard about her death and reasons behind it after the fact. What part of this information is confusing you?

Wow.  Thank you, romeotuma - what an incredible translation of the lyrics... I think I might just have to bookmark this.

You're amazing,
flawless craftsmanship or by beautiful, ingenious, delicate, or elaborate execution ...
exquisite

I'm a fan of Azam Ali. For those who like her sound, check out her work on "Niyaz."
Good stuff!
Great sound, rate it highly.

And I just *love* these people who think any nation east of Italy and west of Pakistan are all "Arab", same ones who would never buy anything from Iran but are happy with their Persian carpets on teh floor :-)
Really beautiful. Thank you, RP!!!!!
What a voice.
I quiet liked that.  RP continues to expand my musical exposure.

I shall add this to my ever growing list of Radio Paradise new music, must investigate/ purchase list...supa{#Roflol}
It isn't that I'm somehow opposed to middle eastern music, but this does not have much appeal — the string fills are schmaltzy, the song sort of drags on without much punch to it... basically it's muzak.
Can`t stand arabic music.

I love Arabic female vocalists. And the violin interludes.

I think it's gone enough for you to know the difference between Turkish-blah-blah and the Iranian culture, guys.

At least I hope so, because something like a civil war had to be taken for those TV channels you are watching day and night to show you what is inside this country.

Your post was true when written but if anyone doubted it, the actions of the Iranian government (Mullahs) during the past few days has reinforced it.

I totally dig the flavor and vote for more middle east groove.  (My Amr Diab upload got bonged right out of the chute and I'm still stinging from that one).
The problem most people have with this music is that the beat is off of the tempo we are used to.  And that is classic middle eastern music, they follow the off beats, but they are still following a beat.  And honestly, they have some amazing music.  So get used to it, I hope we hear more of this.  I love it!! 
Gorgeous song. This is why I listen to Radio Paradise.
This is beautiful! Some of y'all need to get out a little more. {#Sunny}

I bought this entire CD through RP/Amazon the minute I heard the first track Bill played. Love it.
Hypnotic...trippy—-calling to the spirits


I love to have Azam Ali sing me to sleep at night... deep into the realms of peace, soothing to the Soul. Love her music!
