Ilove mohsen too

Moi aussi 🤗

No no you understand everything because it is absolute music for who desire

most of the lyrics are classic Persian poetry or contemporary poetry. some are lyrics just for folk songs. Which ever you wish let me know and I will translate and put the text here with original so you can get the meaning. But let me tell you something. Nothing is able to match the depth, rhyme and beauty of Persian poetry and maybe the music and when mixed with tuned music it becomes so intoxicating like summer wine. in any case, knowing more makes it more enjoyable than only grasping the melody and rhythm. amblou2000@gmail.com

Max Joseph you are full of shit

Me too😥

BeingBeverly I played my students some Namjoo songs, they liked it. From Ottawa.

Some of these songs are very difficult to translate! some are philosophical, some political, some slang and childish too! Because of historical and religious factors there is always Mysticism in Persian poetry! Words may say something but mean something else! That makes it hard to understand even for educated Persian speaking people! Therefore there are many interpretation of a poem! If you search Hafez on Google you may find translation of his works in English! I suggest you go for Omar Khayyam which may be easier to understand and there are some good translations to English by Edward Fitzgerald! I don't promise he fully conveys the Mysticism to you but Khayyam is very straight forward compared with Hafez and Mowlavi! Here is an example why it is hard to translate and not lose any of the Mysticism: Namjoo sings a very nice song called Toranj ( by Khajoo Kermani from 700 or more years ago! ) that you can find here on KZfaq! Toranj is a sweet and sour citrus fruit ( Bergamot )! But if you split the name into " to " and " ranj " it can mean " you hurt " and if you put " me " at the end you have a different meaning altogether! He sings " az to-ranjam" which means I am a Bergamot or you hurt me! It goes like this : I said you hurt me , he said because you are hard to get, ( Bergamot is hard to get because it doesn't grow on it's own and is achieved by grafting! etc.! Now ask Iranians and see how many of them disagree with me!! There are some songs here which are simple silly love songs! One was played as a Twist song in 60s and 70s when I was a boy and remember we danced to it! You find it here at the 44th minute of this clip! There is a Tajik song ( 55th minute ) which I thought we simply stole it from the lovely Persian speaking Tajiks in the former soviet republic! But I read that it was written by an Iranian when he was living and working in that country! Some songs in the beginning are from the talented guy who plays the guitar and his group also playing here called KIOSK! There is a song from about a 100 years ago from a lady who has been one of the first emancipated ladies in Iran! one song by an Iranian artist who was assassinated by the Islamic governments thugs , etc.,!! Hope this is enough background for you!!

What a nice comment :)

Music has no limits...

@@xarry1235 Thank you for your insightful and helpful reply. Now its more intriguing!

Del zarem şarkisi aslinda sevgili fereydun ferrukhzad a aitmiş namjo da söyledi. Ferrukhzad şimdiki iran hükümeti tarafindan feci şekilde almanya da öldürüldü çünkü halkimizi var olan teokratik hükümete karşi ayaklanmaya çalişiyordu almanya hükümeti de bu olaya karşi sustu olaydan 25 yil geçiyor.

دمت گرم ... خیلی وقت این آهنگو گوش نداده بودم ... مرسی مرسی مرسی که دوباره یادها رو زنده کردی .. اگه کامنتمو جواب نمیدادی عمرا این اهنگو پیدا نمیکردم ... هزار بار مررررررسییییی

MrOrientalism Badakhshan is not in Tajikistan Badakhshan is in Afghanistan . thank you

Armin Mozart Badakhshan is both in Tajikistan and in Afghanistan, although the historical capital of Badakhshan is in Afghanistan- the city of Fayzabad. Afther Badakhshan was divided by Russian and the British (check out Great game) we have Badakhshan province in Afghanistan and Gorno Badakhshan province in Tajikistan. When Mubarakshah sings "Az Badakhshanume" and when I say "az Badakhshanum" we mean we are from Badakhshan of Tajikistan. By the way, my grandfather is from Badakhshan of Afghanistan.

Armin Mozart WHO CARES ABOUT BADAKHSHAN?!! YOU HAD TO BRING NAME AFGANASTAN IN THIS VIDEO HA.

Armin Mozart DO NOT BRING THAT NAME AFHANESTAN IN IRANIAN VIDEOD AGAIN. REEDAM TO HAMOON AFGANESTANEH GOOHET

ken take it easy brother. do not divide people by their countries of origin. The singer is singing a song from Badakhshan, that's why we are talking about badakhshan :)

Tajikistan smells like a Mother for Persians. Tajikisatan booye madar midahad.

شعرتون زیبا بود

Barbara Leśniak times called him iranian bob dylan, his lyrics R from hafez, in 1 song and khajo kermani pems used in another song. he only sing well know traditional peoms

I doubt it, it will be very hard to teach farsi with these songs

Thanks for your answers. I somehow managed to find the lyrics of some of these beautiful songs online - in Farsi and in English and I did use them in some of my English classes.to teach a little bit of Farsi :)

Sorry for some poor replies you had earlier!! Some of these songs are very difficult to translate! some are philosophical, some political and some slang! Because of historical and religious factors there is always Mysticism in Persian poetry! Words may say something but mean something else! That makes it hard to understand even for educated persian speaking people! Therefore there are many interpretations of a poem!

For teaching these to your students, if they are school children I don't recommend that unless they are going through their PHD in Persian or literature!!

Hi there, Below list of these songs is written in the same order they're played. Note that the blues band "Kiosk" and traditional singer "Mohsen Namjoo" are performing together, while the songs were originally performed separately. Therefore, the songs' main versions are slightly different. 1. To Kojaei by Kiosk 2. Iraneh Khanom by Mohsen Namjoo (unreleased) 3. Nooshin Laban by Mohsen Namjoo 4. Oono Nadidi by Kiosk 5. Rooberoo by Mohsen Namjoo (Ft. Eendo) 6. Varda Biar by Kiosk 7. Cheshme Ahovane by Mohsen Namjoo (unreleased) 8. Oon Shab Ke Baroon Oomad by Mohsen Namjoo 9. Aan Maan Navaraan by Mohsen Namjoo (unreleased) 10. Yarom Bia by Mohsen Namjoo Ft. Kiosk All songs could be found through google search. I'd be happy to help if there's anything else.

Love. Thank You, brother. Will check out each and every one.
