Leili Lullaby (When I Was A Bird)

Naare doone doone labaat khandoone
teraazoor biyar nabaat arzoone

naaze niloofar baale kabootar
az gol naazokhtar omide maadar

Gol Leili Leili
Jaan Leili Leili…

naaze niloofar baale kabootar
az gol naazokhtar omide maadar

Gol Leili Leili
Jaan Leili Leili…

When I was a bird
I sailed over the heart of the sea
I was searching for you You were searching for me
When I was a bird
Oh I prayed you would find me
And I sang your name

Gol Leili leili
Jaan leili leili

English Translation of Farsi lyrics:

Darling pomegranate seed - your lips are laughing
your sweetness is abundant and you share it easily - sugar is bitter compared to you
sweet/charm of the flower, the wings of a dove
The tenderness of a flower’s petal, the hope of a mother
