My Schoolmate -
Yar-e Dabestani-e
Man
My
schoolmate You're with me and going along with me The alphabet stick is above our heads You're my spite and my woe Our names have been carved On the body of this blackboard The stick of injustice and tyranny Still remains on our body
This uncivilized plain of ours Is covered with weeds Good, if good Bad, if bad Dead is the hearts of its people My hand and yours Should tear up these curtains Who can, except you and I Cure our pain?
My
schoolmate You're with me and going along with me The alphabet stick is above our heads You're my spite and my woe Our names have been carved On the body of this blackboard The stick of injustice and tyranny Still remains on our body
