Persian Music "Why should we run from each other…? " with Lyrics

The 2nd International music festival «Ambassadorial gifts» in the Armory Chamber
“Avaz ISFAHAN” refers to a musical style called “Avaz” from the city of Isfahan in Iran. It’s a traditional form of Persian vocal music.

The group “Karavan” consists of the following musicians:

Azadeh Amiri (tar)
Negar Kharkan (kamānche)
Nooshin Pasdar (oud)
Nazanin Pedarsani (tombak)

Why should we run from each other…? Our path is the same, Our silence, sorrow, tears, and sighs—all the same.

Why should we run from each other…? After all, the path of our entire life—whether to a place of prayer or a tavern—is one and the same.

Let you be as white as day, and I as dark as twilight, It doesn’t matter, For in the cosmic dance, year after year, The moon and the sun trace the same circles.

Both you and I stand against walls and all borders. So why do they prepare two bonfires for us? Our sin is one and the same."
