Kiss Me (Ma raa Beboos)


One of the greatest Iranian love songs in the history, Kiss Me (Persian: مرا ببوس) was first broadcast by Radio Iran amidst the struggles of nationalists with the Imperial regime.
The most famous version is sung by Hasan Golnaraghi on Heydar Reghabi lyrics.
The music was composed by Majid Vafadar.(Piano by Moshir Homayoun Shahrdar and Violin by Parviz Yahaghi)
However for the first time a rather obscure singer named Parvaneh sung it in a movie.

Other Iranian singers have also covered this song including:

Lyrics

Kiss me.
Kiss me.

This is the last time I say goodbye.
May God keep you safe.
I am going to look for my destiny.
Our good times passed.
I am going to look for my destiny.

Amidst the storm I'm allied with boatmen.
I might even have to sacrifice my life to survive the storm.

I have promised my loved-one to make fire in the mountains.
I start my journey a dark night, and go through gloomy roads.

My dear one! Don't let your tears fall over your skirt because of me!

My beautiful girl! I am your guest tonight; I stay with you until you put your lips on mine.
My beautiful girl! The flash of your eyes and your innocent tears brighten up my tonight!

Translation: Mehdi Mehtari
