You, the interpretation of our age old dreams / You, the soother of this sorrowful land's soul / You, to this day standing alone by yourself / Full of "Mahsa", full of "Nika", full of rage / My Iran - the torture chamber of the innocent / My Iran - eighty something million hostages / You, who shares my broken heart, our tearful nights will turn into a storm / Under one roof, my compatriots, Iran will be become Iran again / “In a land where battles are fought by men, you stood up for my right to be a woman. I have faith in your future and your generation. May this be the dawn of our freedom.” You revealed the path to our future, amidst the darkness / They beat you with a thousand blows and you did not bow down / But yet you are still standing tall / Watching you from afar / Your movement must be cherished / You are our legends / We can only worship you / My Iran - the torture chamber of the innocent / My Iran - eighty something million hostages / You, who shares my broken heart, our tearful nights will turn into a storm / Under one roof, my compatriots, Iran will be become Iran again
