Lyrics translation:
The women of Teheran
the women of Tehran
they don’t cover their face
they don’t cover their smile
giving the glory from their inside
and in such a familiar accent
that brings in me the thing I already forgot
and if you listen how they sing
and if you hear how- they- sing
my mother might be one of them
she use to tell me stories
and in a almost sad face
you can see a smile sometimes.
and in such a familiar accent
that brings in me the thing I already forgot
and if you listen how they sing
and if you hear how- they- sing
If one day I will rise up there
I foreign bird in the sky of Iran
I will stretch my throat
I will open my wings
To sing for you in Teheran
