Dancing Girls
Farah Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Mardha vaistadan
Zanaa miraghsan
Negah mikonam
Oriental dress
The one you love is a mess
White lights, it's all a dream
Lost in a fire, this golden obsession
Music in my heart
Deep in my eyes, dancing
from the opium
In a perfect world where nothing dies
Broken glass on the bottom of my heels
Oriental dress
The one you love is a mess
It's all a dream
Mardha vaistadan
Zanaa miraghsan
Negah mikonam
The passing of time
She's just a child
To recover a long lasting beauty
she will die young
She's just a normal girl, dancing to her favorite song
It's time to go
Let's get on with it
Mardha Vaistadan
Zanaa Miraghsan
Negah Mikonam X2

Negah Mikonam
Negah Mikonam

Mardha vaistadan
Zanaa miraghsan
Negah mikonam X2

All night you watch her in the dark, disappearance
an alien heart beat
the breath throbs and returns again
You put your hand over her mouth
Variable work on insistances
In the places of the summer sun
It would be best for her to die
Into the rising tide
To tell a lever and keep them all to yourself
A flight I do not endorsed




From a dream of sleep
Her body has vanished

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Farah's song "Dancing girls" are both poetic and enigmatic, and the meaning of the words appears to be open to interpretation. However, the song's title suggests that it is a reflection on the lives of women who dance, possibly for money or for their own pleasure.


The song opens with the lines "Mardha vaistadan, zanaa miraghsan, negah mikonam," which in Persian means "Men standing, women dancing, I watch." The next line observes "Oriental dress, the one you love is a mess," which could be interpreted as a comment on the performer's state of mind or physical appearance. The words "White lights, it's all a dream" might be a reference to the way performers are transported to another reality when they are on stage. The next lines, "Lost in a fire, this golden obsession, music in my heart, deep in my eyes, dancing from the opium," suggest that dancing is a way of escaping from reality, and possibly a form of addiction.


The lyrics then take a darker turn with the words "In a perfect world where nothing dies, broken glass on the bottom of my heels." This could be interpreted as a comment on the potential dangers that dancers face, either from the obstacles they encounter or from the people who exploit them. The next verse appears to be a reflection on the fleeting nature of a dancer's beauty, and the fact that she is often seen as a disposable commodity. The final lines of the song convey a sense of menace, with the words "You put your hand over her mouth, her body has vanished."


Overall, the lyrics of "Dancing girls" convey a sense of both fascination and unease with the world of female performance. The words suggest that dancing is both a form of liberation and a trap, and that the women who engage in it are both admired and exploited.

Confused and uncertain actions


In the places of the summer sun
Location in the midst of beauty


It would be best for her to die
The singer's dangerous desires


Into the rising tide
Moving towards a destructive force


To tell a lever and keep them all to yourself
Keeping secrets and using them for personal gain


A flight I do not endorsed
Rejecting the idea of escape


From a dream of sleep
In a state of unconsciousness


Her body has vanished
Mysterious and unexplained disappearance

All night you watch her in the ??, disappearance
An alien heart beat
The breath withdraws and returns again
You put your hand over her mouth
bury them both, forgotten existences
In the places of the summer sun
It would be best for her to die
to throw her Into the rising tide
To kill a lover and keep them all to yourself
the still dark light of death and lovelessness
the flight of the nightingales
From a dream of sleep
Her body has vanished

Mardha Vaistadan
Zanaa Miraghsan
Negah Mikonam
X2
Negah Mikonam
x2

A Girl Walks Home Alone At Night is one of the best films i've seen in a long long time and this song in it is just awesome, along with the whole soundtrack

@vampireleniore

The part where the vampire is dancing to this is one of my favorite parts. It's kind of creepy, but in the best way though.

@Batwing092

Marda Vaistadan = Men are standing
Zanaa Miraghsan = Women are dancing
Negah Mikonam = I watch

@Metor153

Cameron Bassirpour
Isn't "vaistadand" subjunctive?
I would translate it as:
Let the men stand
The women dance
I watch

@Metor153

Farsi

@mexx0the0king

Nikos P. nope.
let the men stand would translate as: marda baiad vaisan
