برخيز و چاره كن فصلي دوباره كن
برخيز و چاره كن فصلي دوباره كن

با من بگو كه كدامين حديث باد
جز ميله هاي قفس
اين بار غصه را به قناري سپرده است

در جشنواره گل پاييز چه پر فريب

غمگين غزلواژه هجرت سروده است

برخيزوچاره كن فصلي دوباره كن
برخيزوچاره كن فصلي دوباره كن

آه از نهاد خسته پروانه بر نخواست
همراز رقص مرگ همراه شمع و اشك
مارا ببين چگونه كفتار روزگار
فرهنگ غصه داد

در ميهماني دشت تشنه باران
از ابر كينه ها
نباريد جز تگرگ قصاص ز آسمان

برخيزوچاره كن فصلي دوباره كن
برخيزوچاره كن فصلي دوباره كن

از تيرگي شب برادر رنگ غم
با صبح دلپذير از روشني بگو
آشتي كن تو با سرمستي بهار
با ابر غصه دار از دلخوشي بگو

زنگار غصه را از آينه بگير
با خاطره تو از دلبستگي بگو

برخيز و چاره كن فصلي دوباره كن
برخيز و چاره كن فصلي دوباره كن ...

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Dariush's song "Fasli Dobare" speak to the themes of renewal and rejuvenation. The repetition of "Barkhiz o chara kon, fasli dobare kon" can be translated to "Rise up and fix it, do the season again." The singer is urging the listener to take action and make things right, to fix whatever has been broken in their life or relationship.

The following lines paint vivid imagery of the beauty and pain found in life. The singer is asking which words of comfort can be found in the rustling of leaves, except for the cage of canaries. They mention the sadness found in the poetry of separation, penned during the autumn festival of flowers. A tired butterfly refuses to fly, choosing to embrace the dance of death alongside candles and tears. The singer implores the listener to see how the bitterness of life has shaped them, and to bear witness to the vengeance of the heavens.

The song ebbs and flows between light and darkness, grief and hope. Ultimately, it urges the listener to reconcile with the joyousness of spring, to speak of happiness amidst the clouds of sadness. It calls for an end to the struggle and to cling to memories of love. The final repetition of "Barkhiz o chara kon, fasli dobare kon" serves as a reminder to continually seek renewal and to never give up.
