        | دیدی گفتم دیدی گفتم که | Didi goftam, didi goftam ke | I told you so, I told you that |  
        | یه روز پر میکشی تو هوا | ye rooz par mikeshi too havaa | someday you'll fly away. |  
        | دیدی گفتم دیدی گفتم که | didi goftam, didi goftam ke | I told you so, I told you that |  
        | تو هم میری به خاطره ها | to ham miri be khaatere haa | you'll become a memory, too. |  
        | میاد اونروز که نمیگیری سراغ از ما | miyaad oon rooz ke nemigiri soraagh az maa | Someday you'll [no longer] ask about me. |  
        |  |  |  |  
        | میدونستم میدونستم که | midoonestam, midoonestam ke | I knew it, I knew that |  
        | دل سرد تو موندنی نیست خوندنی نیست | dele sarde to moondani nist moondani nist | your cold heart wasn't here to stay. |  
        | رفتی پر کشیدی دل نشست وگریست | rafti, par keshidi, del neshast o gerist | You left, flew [away], my heart sat and wept. |  
        | نمونده برام جز اشک چشم و دو گونه خیس | namoonde baraam joz ashk-e chashm o do gooneye khis | Nothing left for me but tears and two wet cheeks. |  
        |  |  |  |  
        | دلی که بی نیاز همش فکر پرواز | deli ke bi niyaaze, hamash fekre parvaaze | The heart that needs nothing thinks of flying all the time. |  
        | میخواد بذاره بره | mikhaad bezaare bere | It wants to let go. |  
        | قلبی که غم نداره همش فکر فراره | ghalbi ke gham nadaare, hamash fekre faraare | The heart that isn't sad thinks of running away. |  
        | موندن براش مشکله | moondan baraash moshkele | It's hard for it to stay. |
