Sing of empty pockets, of shame
Sing of longing for a normal life
Sing of the dreams of a scavenger child
Sing of generals bossing the economy around3
Sing of the pollouted air
Sing of Valiasr street's4dying trees
Sing of the innocent banned dogs7
Sing of incessant cries
Sing of an image perpetuating the moment
Sing for a laughing human face
Sing for the school children, for future
Sing of this forced paradise
Sing of the brilliant minds in jail
Sing of the Afghan kids' [miseries in Iran] 8
Sing for all of these unique 'for's
Sing of [rulers'] heaps of shallow slogans
Sing of collapsing fake material buildings 9
Sing for the peace of mind
Sing for a morning sun breaking the long nights
Sing of popping pills10, sleepless nights
Sing for man, homeland, prosperity
Sing for a girl who wished to be a boy
