Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
مگر به کوی تو این ابرها ببارندم
مرا که مست توام این خمار خواهد کشت
نگاه کن که به دست که می سپارندم
ای رفته تا دوردستان
آنجا بگو تا کدامین ستاره ست
روشن ترین همنشین شب غربت تو
ای رفته تا دوردستان
روشن ترین همنشین شب غربت تو
من آن ستارهی شب زندهدار امیدم
که عاشقان تو تا روز می شمارندم
مگر در این شب دیرانتظار عاشق کش
به وعدههای وصال تو زنده دارندم
هوای روی تو دارم نمی گذارندم
ای رفته تا دوردستان
آنجا بگو تا کدامین ستاره ست
روشن ترین همنشین شب غربت تو
ای رفته تا دوردستان
آنجا بگو تا کدامین ستاره ست
روشن ترین همنشین شب غربت تو
In "Far Away," Omid Nemati sings about the overwhelming longing and yearning he has for a loved one who is far out of reach. He cannot help but think of this person at all times, as indicated by the opening line, "I have your face on my mind and they won't let me forget it." Omid then goes on to lament how his love and affection are not being reciprocated, and how his love will only lead to his own downfall as he spends his days lost in thought.
The chorus is the highlight of the song, begging the person far away to tell him what star they are under, so he can remain close at heart with them no matter the distance between them. The last verse is perhaps the most poignant and shows just how deeply his love runs. Omid sings that he is the guardian of the bright star of hope that makes those who love this person count down their days until they're reunited. He cannot help but let his heart guide him and keeps on waiting for the promised love and union to come to fruition.
Overall, the lyrics to "Far Away" paint a beautiful and honest picture of a love that transcends distance and time, and speaks to anyone who has ever experienced the indescribable feeling of being separated from the ones they cherish.

هوای روی تو دارم نمی گذارندم
I cannot bear to be away from you
مگر به کوی تو این ابرها ببارندم
I pray for rain to guide me on the path to you
مرا که مست توام این خمار خواهد کشت
I am in love with you, and this love will lead me to my destruction
نگاه کن که به دست که می سپارندم
Look at me, for my life is in your hands
ای رفته تا دوردستان
O traveler to far-off lands
آنجا بگو تا کدامین ستاره ست
Tell me, which star shines the brightest in the sky where you are?
روشن ترین همنشین شب غربت تو
The brightest companion of your loneliness at night
من آن ستارهی شب زندهدار امیدم
I am that star of hope that shines in the night
که عاشقان تو تا روز می شمارندم
Counting the days until the lovers of your land will meet
مگر در این شب دیرانتظار عاشق کش
I am waiting for my beloved, even if it takes all night
به وعدههای وصال تو زنده دارندم
Keeping myself alive with the promise of our reunion
