Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

از روزگار دلم گرفته
از این تکرار دلم گرفته
دلم می خواد گریه کنم
بارون ببار دلم گرفته

برای گم کردن خویش
رها شدن از کم و بیش
برای در خود گم شدن

جدا از این مردم شدن

بهانه ی گریه می خوام
بهانه ی فریاد زدن
بیا تو باش ای مهربان
بهانه ی گریه ی من

از روزگار دلم گرفته
از این تکرار دلم گرفته
دلم می خواد گریه کنم
بارون ببار دلم گرفته

از من دیگه هیچی نمونده
یه قصه ام صد باره خونده
امروز هوا هوای گریه س
گونه هامو بارون پوشونده

ابر غمم بارون نمی شه
درد سکوت درمون نمی شه
بخون برام از پشت شیشه
درد سکوت درمون نمی شه

از روزگار دلم گرفته
از این تکرار دلم گرفته

دلم می خواد گریه کنم
بارون ببار دلم گرفته

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of "Roozegar" by Ebi convey a sense of despair and longing for release from the repetitive and oppressive nature of life. The opening lines express a sense of dissatisfaction with life, with the phrase "az roozegar delam gerefte" (my heart is taken by life) suggesting a feeling of being trapped or overwhelmed by the demands of existence. This is followed by the repetition of "az in tarkarar delam gerefte" (my heart is taken by this repetition), which further reinforces this sense of being stuck in a monotonous routine.

The chorus of the song revolves around the desire to cry, with the lyrics "delam mikhaad gerye konam" (my heart wants to cry) and "baroon bebaare delam gerefte" (let it rain, my heart is taken) expressing a yearning for release and emotional catharsis. However, this desire is also framed as an excuse, with the repeated use of the phrase "bahane-ye" (an excuse for) suggesting a hesitation or reservation in fully giving into this desire.

The second verse of the song further explores the theme of escape, with the lyrics "bara-ye gam kardan-e khosh" (for losing oneself in joy) and "joda az in mardom shodan" (to be separate from these people) suggesting a desire to break free from the pressures and expectations of society. The final lines of the song return to the desire for emotional release, with the repetition of the chorus emphasizing this theme.

Overall, "Roozegar" is a poignant and introspective exploration of the human experience, touching on universal themes of longing, isolation, and the search for meaning and purpose in life.
