Originally recorded by Iranian singer Amir Rassaei in the 70s, “The Bride” is a cover of the originally called “Aroos Khanom”, which is a song “about a woman who gets banished to the desert when her husband dies, because she’s useless to society.”
Now my heart is sitting in my chest
With no one to confide in
Now my heart is sitting in my chest
With no one to confined in
What does a bush in the desert
Even know about the strain?
What does a bush in the desert
Even know about the strain?
In its loneliness
It will sing a song
In its loneliness
It will sing a song
In its loneliness
It will sing a song
In its loneliness
Anyone who came near me tried
Somehow to deceive me
God only knows that I am the Sun
Only colours of autumn will prevail
Only colours of autumn will prevail
Hey children don’t throw stones to this broken hearted
Hey children don’t throw stones to this broken heart
Hey children don’t throw stones to this broken
Hey children don’t throw stones to this broken heart
Now my heart is beating in my chest
With no one to confide in
Now my heart is beating in my chest
With no one to confide in
Now my heart is beating in my chest
With no one to confide in
Now my heart
Now my heart
Now my heart...
(... beating in my chest
... no one to confide in
My heart is beating in my chest
With no one to confide in)
Anyone who came near me tried
Somehow to deceive me
Anyone who came near me tried
Somehow to deceive me
Anyone who came near me tried
Somehow to deceive me
Anyone who came near me tried
Somehow to deceive me
Anyone who came near me tried
Somehow to deceive me
Anyone who came near me tried
Somehow to deceive me
Anyone who came near me tried
Somehow to deceive me
