Mahasti Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

هرکی باحقیقته
تودلش محبته
هرکی با یه قلب پاک
عاشق رفاقته
مثل من همیشه تنها میمونه
همچو شبگردی توشبها میمونه
خوش بحالت که تو بی محبتی
بردی از یاد منو

مثل طوفان اومدی گذشتی و
دادی بر باد منو
تو منو شکستی افرین به تو
با همه نشستی آفرین به تو

تو با من عهد وفا رو بستی و
خودتم گسستی آفرین به تو
