My Homeland

My homeland, the everlasting glory

In the heart of the tumult of times

The country of tribulations

Wounded but proud overcoming crisis

You’ve stood up to a face to face battle

The enemy is backstabbing you

.

It’s from us and deep within us

My homeland, overcome this deceit

.

My homeland, the everlasting glory

In the heart of the tumult of times

.

Your veins are thirsty for love

A broken heart doesn't need blood

For your heart to beat forever

It doesn’t need anything but passion and love

.

Shame on me if your borders ever

 Be closed over the dream of love

Shame on me if I see our eyes are closed, to our dreams of love

.

My homeland, the everlasting glory

In the heart of the tumult of times

The country of tribulations

Wounded but proud overcoming crisis

From the cold fever of the waves of the Caspian

To the Gulf that has always been and will forever be Persian

With you we can take the plunge

With you we can give our hearts to life

With you we can take the plunge

 With you we can give our hearts to life

My homeland
