Cheshmat by Mehrnoosh

I heard this song on the radio a few years ago - and it was one of the few Persian songs that I could at least understand some words in. So here is a transliteration followed by a literal translation...with a YouTube link to the original for good measure.

Cheshmat

To ke cheshmat kheily ghashange
Range cheshmat kheily ajibe
To ke in hame negahet vase cheshmam garmo najibe

To ke cheshmat kheily ghashange
Range cheshmat kheily ajibe
To ke in hame negahet vase cheshmam garmo najibe

Meedonesti ke cheshat shekle ye naghashiye ke to bacheghi mishe keshid
meedonesti ya na?
meedonesti ya na?

Meedonesti ke tuye cheshmaye to ranginkamuno mishe did?
meedonesti ya na?
meedonesti ya na?

Meedonesti ke namoondi delamo kheili suzundi? Cheshato azam gerefti mano ta gerye resundi
Meedonesti ke cheshami hameye arezuhami? meedonesti ke hamishe to tamume lahzehami?

To ke cheshmat kheily ghashange
Range cheshmat kheily ajeebe
To ke in hame negahet vase cheshmam garmo najeebe

To ke cheshmat kheily ghashange
Range cheshmat kheily ajeebe
To ke in hame negahet vase cheshmam garmo najeebe

Meedonesti hameye arezuhamo vaseye cheshme ghashange to parundam raftesh?
meedonesti ya na?
meedonesti ya na?

Meedonesti ke javooneemo vase cheshme ajeebe to soozoondam raftesh
meedonesti ya na?
meedonesti ya na?

Meedonesti ke namundi, delamo kheily sozoondi? Cheshato azam gerefti, mano ta gerye resoondi.

Meedonesti ke cheshami, hameye arezunhami, meedonesti ke hamishe to tamume hameye lahzehami

Your Eyes

You that has beautiful eyes
The color of your eyes is strange
You that in your glance conveys to my eyes heat and power

You that has beautiful eyes
The color of your eyes is strange
You that in your glance conveys to my eyes heat and power

Did you know that your eyes are like a painting you could draw in childhood
Did you know or not?
Did you know or not?

Did you know that in your eyes rainbows can be seen?
Did you know or not?
Did you know or not?

Did you know when you didn't stay you burnt my heart?
Your eyes took took from me until crying took me

Did you know that you are my eyes, all my my wishes?
Did you know that always too all my moments are yours?

You that has beautiful eyes
The color of your eyes is strange

You that has beautiful eyes
The color of your eyes is strange

You that in your glance conveys to my eyes heat and power
You that in your glance conveys to my eyes heat and power

Did you know all my dreams or wishes for your for your beautiful eyes you threw away?
Did you know or not?
Did you know or not?

Did you know that I destroyed my youth for your strange eyes?
Did you know or not?
Did you know or not?

Did you know that you didn't stay, you broke my heart, you took your eyes from me, you brought me to tears?

Did you know you are my eyes, you are all my dreams? Did you know you are always present in my every moment?
