کی از عمرش راضیه
ابر گریونه دلم
چشمه خونه دلم
نمیتونم دلمو راضی کنم
این دل دیوونه رو راضی به این بازی کنم
یه بهونه برای بودن و موندن ندارم
تو گلوم بغض غمه
همه جا سرد و سیاه
رو لبام ناله و آه
سر من بی سایه بون
نگهم مونده به راه
دست من غمگین و سرد
تو دلم یه گوله درد
نه بهاری نه گلی
پاییزه ، پاییز زرد
دلی که دلدار نداره
با زندگی کار نداره
غریب این دیارم
یه آشنا ندارم
سرم بی سایه بونه
دلم یه پارچه خونه
غم تو دلم نشسته
بال و پرم شکسته
غریب این دیارم
یه آشنا ندارم
سرم بی سایه بونه
دلم یه پارچه خونه
همه جا سرد و سیاه
رو لبام ناله و آه
سر من بی سایه بون
نگهم مونده به راه
دست من غمگین و سرد
تو دلم یه گوله درد
نه بهاری نه گلی
پاییزه ، پاییز زرد
دلی که دلدار نداره
با زندگی کار نداره
غریب این دیارم
یه آشنا ندارم
سرم بی سایه بونه
دلم یه پارچه خونه
غم تو دلم نشسته
بال و پرم شکسته
غریب این دیارم
یه آشنا ندارم

"Zendegi Ye Baziyeh," or "Life is a Game," is a mournful song by Iranian singer Dariush. It ruminates on the emptiness and despair of life, with the singer asking who could ever be satisfied with their existence. The singer's heart is heavy and his eyes are bleeding, unable to find contentment. He has no reason to be alive, no joy in singing, and everything around him is dark and cold.
The theme of isolation and loneliness is repeated throughout the song, with the singer stating that he has no familiar faces or companions in this land. His heart is a broken home, and the pain of his sorrow has grounded his wings. The autumn around him is yellow and joyless, with no hope of a blossoming spring. He has no one to love, no purpose to tend to, and no relief from his constant agony.
In short, the song expresses a feeling of profound ennui and despair in the face of an unfulfilling, lonely life. It is a sobering reminder of the fragility and unpredictability of life and the importance of finding meaning and companionship in it.

رو لبام ناله و آه
My lips are a moan and a sigh

Neither spring nor flowers

Your sorrow has settled in my heart
