It is indeed excellent, Serendip. It was also one of the first times I wished I could understand the language.

This is the same Arabo-Muslin occupational government that attempted to create government run prostetution houses and can be, at the very least, accused of closing its eyes on the sale of children and young Iranian women abroad, particularly to Arab countries.

Hello, I do not understand farsi, but was moved to tears. The images tell all.

Could you tell us who is the singer?

SERENDIP said...

sarainusa: I'm afraid I don't know her name. But here is a partial transliteration:

Video of Ahamdinejad as a presidential candidate (before he became president) on TV, rhetorically questioning, " How women dress is our biggest problem in the country?", ((meaning that it shouldn't be our biggest problem. He is hypocrity and a liar))

Then the rap starts:

We've been accused and insulted
Who are you getting your anger out on? (who are you getting even with?)
What is this?
You keep telling us what to say,
what to think, what to wear,
what not to wear,
Right is this,
Wrong is that,
Say this,
Say that,

Oh, youth of the era of Totalitarianism

From your point of view this is "value"

But this is not the age of you
telling us what "Value" is in the ancient Iranian Land

Oh youth of the era of dictatorship

How long are you going to keep quiet?

It's time, It's in your hands;power and unity

Smash this fortification
Don't give up and get united

These days nothing is right,
people, the public opinion is toxic and confused,
People don't have money to eat....

The HOPE BELONGS TO ME...

The youth either leave Iran
Or dies within inside

...People are afraid of getting out of their houses and wearing colorful clothing...

Enough is Enough.
