Dariush Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
غم این پیکر فرسوده مخور
قصه ام بشنو و از یاد ببر
بهر من غصه ی بیهوده مخور
تو سپیدی من سیاهم
خسته ای گم کرده راهم
تو به هرجا در پناهی
من به دنیا بی پناهم
من غروبی نا امیدم
تو سپید و دل سیاهی
من سیاه دل سپیدم
نه قراری نه دیاری که بر ان رو بگذارم
به چه شوقی به چه ذوقی دگر این ره بسپارم
چه امیدی به سپیدی که به رنگ شب تارم
تو سپیدی من سیاهم
خسته ای گم کرده راهم
گنه تو بیگناهی
The lyrics to Dariush's Neesty express a sense of internal conflict within oneself. The first two lines, "Don't become tainted by my ruins. Don't let the sorrow of this worn-out body affect you," suggest that the singer sees themselves as damaged and unworthy of the love and attention of others. However, the following lines offer a plea for understanding: "Listen to my story and try to forget. Don't worry needlessly about me."
The next stanza delves deeper into the singer's struggle with their own identity. They see themselves as inherently flawed, contrasting their own darkness with the purity and lightness of another. The lines "You are white and I am black. I am tired, lost, and wandering. You find refuge in every place, but I am without shelter in this world" speak to a feeling of alienation and isolation from those around them.
The final stanza reveals a sense of resignation to this struggle. The singer sees no hope for themselves or their future, comparing their own hopeless despair to the fleeting glimmers of hope embodied by another. The final line, "Your guilt is my innocence," suggests that the singer has accepted their place as an outsider and harbors no resentment toward those who have found happiness in spite of their own struggles.
