Dastaye Tou
Dariush Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
هرجا که پا میذارم تو رو اونجا می بینم
یادمه چشمای تو پر درد و غصه بود
قصه غربت تو قد صد تا قصه بود
یاد تو هر جا که هستم با منه
داره عمر منو آتیش میزنه
تو برام خورشید بودی توی این دنیای سرد
گونه های خیس مو دستای تو پاک میکرد
چرا بیصدا شده لبه قصه های خوب
من که باور ندارم اون همه خاطره مرد
عاشق آسمونا پشت
یک پنجره مرد
آسمون سنگی شده
خدا انگار خوابیده
انگار از اون بالاها گریه هامو ندیده
یاد تو هر جا که هستم با منه
The lyrics to Dariush's song "Dastaye Tou" speak about the longing and loneliness that one feels when they are separated from their loved one. The opening line sets the tone for the rest of the song, as the singer describes how they feel like they are alone without their loved one. Everywhere they go, they see their loved one in everything. The memories of them fill every space the singer is in.
The second verse is particularly poignant, as it speaks about the pain and sadness that the loved one was experiencing just before they parted. The singer remembers their wet cheeks and their gentle touch. The chorus brings in the hopeful memories of the happier times that they spent together. The loved one, for the singer, was like the sun in a cold world, drying up all the tears.
The final verse takes a darker turn as the singer describes the current state of their loved one. They are no longer present in their life, and it feels like the sky has turned to stone. God seems to have forgotten them, and the tears that the singer sheds are no longer seen by their loved one.
Overall, "Dastaye Tou" is a melancholic but beautiful song about the longing for a loved one who is no longer present in the singer's life.

ای که بی تو خودم تک و تنها می بینم
Without you, I feel completely alone wherever I go
هرجا که پا میذارم تو رو اونجا می بینم
Everywhere I step, I see you there
یادمه چشمای تو پر درد و غصه بود
I remember your eyes were filled with pain and sorrow
قصه غربت تو قد صد تا قصه بود
Your tale of isolation was at least one hundred stories tall
یاد تو هر جا که هستم با منه
I carry memories of you everywhere I go
داره عمر منو آتیش میزنه
It's burning my life away
تو برام خورشید بودی توی این دنیای سرد
To me, you were a sun in this cold world
گونه های خیس مو دستای تو پاک میکرد
Your hands would wipe away my wet face
حالا اون دستا کجاست اون دوتا دستای خوب
Where are those hands now? Those two good hands?
چرا بیصدا شده لبه قصه های خوب
Why have the edges of good stories gone silent?
من که باور ندارم اون همه خاطره مرد
I can't believe all those memories have died
عاشق آسمونا پشت یک پنجره مرد
In love with the skies, I died behind a window
آسمون سنگی شده خدا انگار خوابیده
The sky has turned to stone, it seems God has fallen asleep
انگار از اون بالاها گریه هامو ندیده
It's as if from up there, he hasn't seen my tears
یاد تو هر جا که هستم با منه
I carry memories of you everywhere I go
