Ra'na


Ra'na, you're loping away with your long skirt, Ra'na

The pain and grief (of separation from you) will finally kill me, Ra'na

Because you have fallen for Kord Aghaa Jaan, Ra'na

And hennaed your hands for him, Ra'na

My dear brunette Ra'na, come back to me, Ra'na

My hazel-eyed Ra'na, my beautiful Ra'na


Oh, you left last year and you haven't come back yet, Ra'na

And the road you took has been filled with wild grass, Ra'na

And (I know) your feet have been prickled with thorns, Ra'na

My dear brunette Ra'na, come back to me, Ra'na

My hazel-eyed Ra'na, my beautiful Ra'na


This year is an abundant one

Ra'na, my dear lovely cousin, Ra'na

For God's sake, for my sake, tell me [that you'll come back to me], Ra'na

Ra'na, my flower Ra'na, My dear love, Ra'na


Ra'na you left for Langrood city, Ra'na

And you told no one except your tailor, Ra'na

And he made you a new dress for your journey, Ra'na

My dear brunette Ra'na, come back to me, Ra'na

My hazel-eyed Ra'na, my beautiful Ra'na
