Sample Lyrics
I’ll make a boat
I’ll threw the water
I’ll be away from this strange soil
Where there is no one who would love in the Grove
The champions Wake Up
The Boat No Tour
And the heart of a pearl,
I’ll keep it
I will not close to the blue,
Not to the sea-the paranni that the head of the waters of Badr
And in that radiation alone fisherman
You are Ffeson of Chignons head
I’ll keep it
I’ll read
«Round to be, away
The man of that city was no mythology
The woman of the town was not a cluster of grapes
No-mirror Talari did not replicate the euphoria
The Blue Hole even did not turn the torch on
Away must be, away
He sang the night of Sardash,
Turn on host window
I’ll keep it
I’ll read
Behind Urban Seas
Where the windows are open to manifestation
Roofs are doves, which are in the fountain of human intelligence.
Every ten-year-old child’s hand is a branch of their own
The people of the city are looking at a very kind.
To have a flame, to a subtle sleep
The dirt of music hears you feeling
And the voice of fowl mythology comes in the wind
Sea behind the city set
Where the sun is the size of the Magical people
The poets are the heir of water and wisdom
Behind Urban Seas
A boat must build
Mohammad Noori and Mohammad Esfahani, Iranian music pop singers, compose and executed this piece of poetry.

Soft and Slow let
Lest you leave
