Tracks:
1 . Sadafé Khāli (Empty Shell)
Poet: Hushang Ebtehajبسترم صدف خالی یک تنهاییست
و تو چون مروارید گردن آویز کسان دگریI’m an empty shell, your pearl has left me alone
And now hangs on another's necklace
2. Zemestān barāyé Ghazal (Winter for Ghazal)
Poet: Seyed Ali Salehiگفتند
غروب سه شنبه، زمستان بود؛ هفتم دی
تو پرستوی خیسی را در آستین خود به خانه آوردی
گفتم انکار نمی کنم
گفتند
وصبح روز بعدچیزی شبیه یک پرنده ی عاشق
از بام خانه ی شما جانب دریا برخاست
گفتم انکار نمی کنم
گفتند
تو در تجمع قلیلی ترانه ی مبهم
پی معنای دیگری
مشتی واژه از کف آسمان چیدی
گفتم انکار نمی کنم
گفتند
تو پدرسوخته ی پریشان! تو
عامل اعتماد آیینه به فانوسکی بر ایوان شب بودی
گفتم انکار نمی کنمThey said:
It was Tuesday evening, in winter, Day 7(the first month of winter in Iran)
You took home a wet swallow hidden in your sleeve
I said: I don’t deny it
They said:
And the next day the bird was in love
Flowing from your room towards the ocean
I said: I don’t deny itThey said:
You have harvested words from the sky
And looked for new meaning in a few short songs
I said: I don’t deny itThey said:
You visionary madman,
You've caused the mirror to trust the lantern on a dark porch at nightI said: I don’t deny it
3. Manjil (Windy City)
Poet: Mohamad Ali Talebi for Arash Talebi
