Mahdi Lyrics

Gilaki I am all pain yet there is no relief In this darkness, where is light? falling apart from grief, alone and abandoned where is my tower of strength in life? Farsi I ran from Chakhmaleh to Ghom to see you Mahdi with no success The mullah of the town said, I must have not been worthy Said, maybe you talked to me but I didn't hear Maybe because I am full of sin and transgressions Mahdi I am quite unhappy with myself Mahdi Where are you that I may wash your feet with my tears My passion is meeting you and I wait for your resurrection Sir, let me tell you something with all my heart Its six months that I have not been paid my monthly salary You that runs the whole affairs of the world Maybe throw a half glance our way too, your devotee No straight is left in my legs holly sir I am awake all night thinking of my predicament My daughter, your servant, her wedding is coming up maybe somebody can take her hand, so she can live in more comfort All our hopes rests on you sir don't let me be embarrassed in front of my family It counts for nothing that I am a father of a [Iran/Iraq war] martyr I saw no benefits from the "Maryr Organization" That sin should be counted for those who say who say those same people [who run the Organization] are like bandits But I know nothing of politics at the end some people come and some people go But we stay the same poor schmuck that we were before dear sir, please you make our prayers come true Chorus Mahdi, you have made a fool of us we plead to you, call on you so often but you don't give us a helping hand, you don't hear this prayer Mahdi, how long should we call on God? Visiting you also belongs to those who in your name buy and sell hundreds like me Generation after generation we have been Schmucks In the news we live but in the census we are dead when your hands are empty [when poor] you are a vagabond They have sucked our marrow dry, where are you Mahdi? A hungry stomach can't raise its voice you are in the well [Chamkaran well, near Ghom, said to be Mahdi's temporary's living quarters till his resurrection] and you know nothing of where we are at the pressures from these American Sanctions is it for anyone other than those like me oh holy one? Everything is futile and aimless except subsidies [refers to a plan to direct basic subsidies based on income] and that has also specified based on some plan or politics that those like me can't get their heads around it when would ever our intellect be able to comprehend the holy government? [government run by God's representative on earth as it is portrayed currently] I swear to you dear sir, I am tired of living Just take this life and bring me comfort for God's sake one time we are somebody's impoverished and we are given promises of water and energy and a house [Khomeini's now famouse promiss of free amenities upon IRA's success after revolution of 79] Another time we have to go to war and die [based on the] the bullshit of "Karbalah we are coming" [Khomeini's edict that the war with Iraq will not end till the city of Karballah in Iraq is taken by Iranian forces] Eight years of living with false progress with brats [of government officials] living in Dubai, London and Hawaii Eight years we joked about it and lived with it Then July 3, 09 [came around] and the [university] student martyrs the gulf with its oil that's no longer ours we are now children, abandoned orphaned children What ever earth covers the grave of the Great Koroush May it be a blessing to your long life, when will you come back? Chorus There is a lump in our throat from sorrow Mahdi you are not there or you have closed your eyes Mahdi Mahdi, you have made a fool of us we plead to you, call on you so often but you don't give us a helping hand, you don't hear this prayer Mahdi, how much longer should we call on God ....Shahin Najafi - Mahdi - http://motolyrics.com/shahin-najafi/mahdi-lyrics.html
