I kinda forgot about the existence of this blog but I decided to write here again to help spreading the voice of the Iranian Sea of Green. Since the election day I've been steadily connected on Twitter trying to catch the huge flow of thoughts coming from Iran that the world wide web has been allowing them to express. My great wonder concerning the (almost) infinite possibilities that internet gives us has been fueled by the great cyber-movement engendered from inside Iran. I want now to show my full support to the claim of freedom posting the lyrics of a great song written by Mams Taylor and sung by Mams Taylor himself and other Iranian singers. I hope I transcribed it without too many mistakes and..as you will see, there are some gaps (my english has to improve!)..could somebody help so it'll be complete?! And more, I would be pleased if anybody could write out the persian fragments of the song!
Post Scriptum No 1. After some suggestions by anahid02, now the lyrics are completed for the most part. But as you can see, there are still some gaps..anyway: thanks a lot anahid02 for your helpfulness!!!
Post Scriptum No.2. Well, thanks to Mams Taylor himself and to Nim, now I can say that the lyrics are complete!
[News reporter] … Iran where authorities prepare to crack down on anyone who defies the direct order from supreme leader to stop the protests... Bloodshed on the streets of Iran, at least seven people are reported to have been shot…By the thousands…
میعادگاه ما انسان و آزادی
[News reporter] …The message of protesters in Iran today…
تاریخ آینده،
میعادگاه ما انسان و آبادی،
تاریخ آینده، میدان آزادی

[Be strong]
This one goes out to you
[Keep your head held high]
Lord, another day goes by and I pray that they all stay strong
And try to make it through the hate, all the pain and the lies
And make it through another day there without dying
Politicians controlling our minds
Why we even voting for if they’re makin’ up our minds for us
Man, they must be thinkin’ that we’re blind
But they opened up our eyes for us
This is about time that we stand up, stand up, gotta move the line
But they didn’t realize is they really just united us
Yeah, they use religion as disguise but my God doesn't divide
This is something they can’t hide from us
[Chorus]
So we’re not fighting for our rights
We’re just fighting for what’s right
For global freedom, but it’s like
Another day turns into night
And nothing's changing, people dying
Flags are flying through it all
So united we’ll stand
But divided we’ll fall
Damn, another day goes by again and it hurts
‘cause all that I can do is grab this pad and pen
And hope that by writing it
it begins to open people’s eyes up to what’s been happening all throughout the world
Guns firing, Neda, bless her soul
Now it’s time to stand up and seize control
And I’m talking to the human race as a whole
Time to stand up, stand up gotta move aligned
What they didn’t realize is they really just united us
Yeah, they use religion as disguise (my count/country..isn’t divide?)
This is something they can’t hide from us
[Chorus]
بنی آدم اعضای یک پیکرند
که در آفرینش ز یک گوهرند
چو عضوی به درد آورد روزگار
دگر عضوها را نماند قرار
Can anybody hear us crying, marching, not afraid of dying
Has anybody seen our freedom, staying strong, we’re bound to find it
Can anybody hear us crying, marching, not afraid of dying
Has anybody seen our freedom, staying strong, we’re bound to find it
Can anybody hear us crying, marching, not afraid of dying
Has anybody seen our freedom, just stay strong, we’re bound to find it
[Chorus] x2
ما که به فکر خود نیستیم
جویای عدالت هستیم
با شوق جهانی آزاد
خورشید هم رفت از یاد
انسانها در انقراضند
پرچمها در اهتزازند
ما شانه به شانه باشیم
هرگز از هم نپاشیم
[Chorus]
[Obama:] But let us remember the words that were written by the poet Saadi,
so many years ago:
"The children of Adam are limbs to each other,
having been created of one essence."
With the coming of a new season, we're reminded of this precious humanity
that we all share.
And we can once again call upon this spirit
as we seek the promise of a new beginning.
