Neda, the Call of the Iranian People by Shakila

*Neda, the Call of the Iranian People by Shakila

*In Farsi, Neda means “call” or “calling”

ندای مردم ایران – شکیلا

Lyrics Translation:

Neda came from the Earth
Neda came from the Earth
and she yelled out
she yelled out
she yelled out:

God, can you hear the call of the people of Iran?
Can you hear the roar of the lions?
[can you hear] the cries of the elderly?

Iran, oh Iran

Let the skies rain
let the skies rain
as tears of blood drip down from the eyes of our comrades

God, please take a look at our perished flowers
the bloodied eyes and distraught hearts.

Let it rain from the skies
let it rain from the skies
to wash away the dusts of sorrow from the face of the motherland
as our homeland is drowned in grief

A call came from the Earth
and she yelled out

she cried

Oh Iran

Oh Iran

Oh Iran
