شبامون آخ که چه تاریک و چه سرده
دلامون جای غمه لونه درده
تورو بی من منو دور از تو گذاشته
چی بگم؟ با من و تو دنیا چه کرده؟
آسمون با من و تو قهره دیگه
هر کدوم از ما تو یک شهر دیگه
تو دلم این همه غم جا نمیگیره
چی به جز غم داره این دل که اسیره

گفتی از یاد میره این غمها یه روزی
تو دلم ریشه دوونده دیگه دیره
آسمون با من و تو قهره دیگه

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Dariush's song, "Asemoon Ba Mano To Ghahre Dige," depict the deep emotions of separation and heartache. The night is dark and cold, and their hearts are filled with pain. They are physically apart, and the singer wonders what has happened to the world with them not being together. The sky is angry with them, and they each live in their own separate cities. The singer admits that their heart cannot contain anything other than sorrow and despair, and it seems like they are held captive by their emotions.

Next, the singer talks about a letter that has not arrived. The other person claims to have written it, but no one has seen any evidence of it. The singer reveals that they also wrote a letter, but instead of sending it, their tears smeared the ink all over the page. The emotions felt by both individuals are so strong that it seems like they are physically present in each other's company, yet they're separated by distance. The emotions are too strong to ignore, and the song ends with a repetition of the previous lines that "every night is dark and cold, and our hearts carry the burden of pain."

Overall, the song expresses a powerful sense of loss and the understanding that the relationship may never be what it used to be. The lyrics show that despite physical separation, the emotional connection remains strong. The sky may be angry with them, but they are still bound together in their sorrow.

شبامون آخ که چه تاریک و چه سرده
Our nights are so dark and cold

دلامون جای غمه لونه درده
Our hearts are filled with sorrow and pain

تورو بی من منو دور از تو گذاشته
You left me and went away from me

چی بگم؟ با من و تو دنیا چه کرده؟
What can I say? What has the world done to us?

آسمون با من و تو قهره دیگه
The sky is angry with both of us now

هر کدوم از ما تو یک شهر دیگه
Each one of us is in a different city

تو دلم این همه غم جا نمیگیره
My heart can't bear so much sadness

چی به جز غم داره این دل که اسیره
What does this heart have other than pain, that it's so trapped?

گفتی از یاد میره این غمها یه روزی
You said that one day this pain will be forgotten

تو دلم ریشه دوونده دیگه دیره
But it's too late, the pain has taken deep roots in my heart

تو میگی نامه نوشتی نرسیده
You say you wrote a letter but it didn't arrive

از تو یک خط یا نشون هیچکی ندیده
No one has seen a line or sign from you

منم امشب واسه تو نامه نوشتم
But tonight, I wrote a letter for you

اما اشکام همه رو نامه چکیده
But my tears have blurred everything in the letter
