Lyrics
Yek nazar bar yaari kardam, Yaare naalidan gereft

Yek nazar bar abri kardam, abre baaridan gereft

Yek nazar bar baadi kardam, bade raqseedan gereft

Yek nazar bar koohi kardam, kooh larzidan gereft



Takye bar divaari kardam, khaaki bar fargham neshest

Khaaki bar farghash neshinad, aanke yaar az man gereft



Maa yaar nadaarim o ghame yaar nadaarim

Maa yaar be joz taalebe jabaar nadaarim



Gar gozar kardi ze raaham, ashk baaran shavad

Noore chashmat gar bebinom, del sarmast shavad

Sare zolfat raa begirom, del heyraan shavad

Gar bemaani dar diyaarom, jaan shekar zaaran shaved



Maa yaar nadaarim o ghame yaar nadaarim

Maa yaar be joz taalebe jabaar nadaarim





A single glance at a lover and the lover sighed

A single glance at a cloud and it began to rain

A single glance at the wind and it began to dance

A single glance at the mountain and it began to shake



I leaned against a wall and felt the dust gather on my head

May he be accursed, he who takes my lover away



We have no worldly love, therefore we are free from the suffering of desire

We have no lover, save for the one who is our guiding light towards truth



If you were to pass before me, my tears would turn to rain

If I were to gaze into the light in your eyes, I would enter a drunken state

If I were to touch even the tip of your hair, my heart would be enraptured

If you were to remain in my presence, I would be consumed with the sweetness of love



We have no worldly love, therefore we are free from the suffering of desire

We have no lover, save for the one who is our guiding light towards truth

I feel foolish posting this, but I want to watch the vid and can't, and it's making me bananas--and the mods say they can't help. What on earth is the Vimeo password for this vid? Everyone else watched it somehow--

help?

[franzeska]

*facepalm*

Uh, I forgot I uploaded it to Vimeo. (I've been stuck in the edit bay for a week. Picture lock was tonight. I just finished exporting.)

password = festivids

Yayy, thanks! I have a fannish friend in town for the weekend and this let us watch it together.

It's gorgeous! Great song choice, and so lush in the editing. The tension that you build in the scene with the horses really grips me by the heart. Even though I already know it's doomed, I so appreciate the way you end the vid, giving them (and me) reconciliation and joy and warmth.

[franzeska]

Woo hoo!

In my head, it ends happily. :( (Stupid historical figures who had to go and be all tragic. Hmph.)
