It’s a classical Iranian song by Dariush Rafiee called Be Sooye To. It’s a love song. Here’s the original it’s so ancient it’s literally older than my parents. Lots of covers have been made too 1, 2, 3.
Here are the lyrics (the English translation doesn’t really do it justice):
Be sooye to, br showghe rooe to - to your direction, desiring seeing your visage.
To the direction of your location,
sepidehdam ayam - I will be coming in the dawn,
Magar to ra jooyam - so that I might find you,
Bego kojaayee? - tell me where are you?
نشان تو گه از زمین گاهی
neshane to gah az zamin gaahi.. - once from the earth do I search for a sign from you,
ze aaseman jooyam - [ and once I seek to find a sign of you] from the skies
bebin che bi parva - see how fearless I am,
rahe to mipooyam - as I am walking down the road that takes me to where you are,
bego kojaayee? - tell me where are you?
key ravad rokhe mahat az nazaram - Would the picture of your beautiful visage that resembles the full moon ever be wiped off my mind?
به غیر نامت کی نام دگر ببرم
be gheyre namat key name degar bebaram? - what other name would I call out but yours?
Agar to ra jooyam - If I ever find you,
Hadise del gooyam - I would tell you the stories that weigh on my chest,
begoo kojaayee? - Tell me where are you?
Be daste to dadam - I handed you
dele parishanam - my desperate heart,
degar cheh khahi? - What else do you require?
fetadeh am az pa - I am so hurt in my feet for walking so long in search of you
بگو که از جانم
bego ke az janam - tell me that from my life,
degar cheh mikhahi - what else do you require?
یکدم از خیال من
Yekdam az khiyal-e-man - not even a moment from my dreams
nemiravi ey ghazaal.. - you ever depart my gazelle,
degar cheh persi ze hale man - Why on earth do you ask about my well being,
ta hastam man - as long as I am alive
اسیر کوی توام
Aseere kooye to-am - I am being taken as a hostage to where you reside,
به آرزوی توام
be aarezooye to-am - I live desiring you,
Agar to ra jooyam - If I ever find you,
Hadise del gooyam - I would tell you the stories that weigh on my chest,
begoo kojaayee? - Tell me where are you?
