I suggest you read more about Hayedeh on Wikipedia.
The song I have translated here is one of her best tracks. I Love to Cry on Your Shoulders is something between classical and pop. It was written by Ardalan Sarfaraz and composed by Farid Zoland.
Lyrics
I put my head on your kind shoulders
the sorrow of my heart fades away as I burst into tears.
My heart is full of sorrow of inhumanity.
I love to cry on your shoulders.
I love to cry on your shoulders.
I love your absence as it makes me yearn for you.
With no selfishness, and with no earthly desires,
I love you beyond these natural desires. I love you more than I do myself.
I love to cry on your shoulders.
Love has so many hairdressers, your hand is one of them.
I love to see you [as a hairdresser] in the mirror.
In solitude I daydream about your love.
I love to see you fascinated by me.
I love to cry on your shoulders.
I love your absence as it makes me yearn for you.
I spent a lifetime in Chelle* hoping to see you.
I like to break the Chelle in the arrival of your love.
I am a wandering cloud ready to cry.
You are my mountain peak.
I love to cry on your shoulders.
With no selfishness, and with no earthly desires,
I love you beyond these natural desires. I love you more than I do myself.
* Chelle is a religious religious/mystic practice during which a person secludes himself from others and lives alone in a small room. He doesn't come out for forty days. The word Chelle comes from Chehel which means 'forty' in Persian.
