Thank you, homo sacer, for the link,

    I am glad that they talked about the history of this famous song......when I go home, I will play the song.......I love the audiences' response to the song in the Shajarian's video.....the song brought Iranian people together......it was such a touching moment.......I went to Shajarian's concert in May, 2010.......but he did not sing this song, Morning bird,.....I was very disappointed!

Thank you for sharing!!

Thanks,

*************

O Morning bird, sadly sing and remind me
Of my pain afresh with a burning sigh
Break this cage and turn it upside down
Wing tied nightingale, leave the corner of this cage
Compose the song of freedom for the mankind
And with a breath, set fire to the battlefield
Of the mass of this earth
The cruelty of tyrants and the injustice of huntsmen
Have broken my nest to the winds
O God, O turning globe, O nature
Turn our dark night into dawn.

Yolanda,

Check this out. You’ll be surprised.

Thank you for sharing! It is 1st time I heard the song sung by a female!

I only knew the version by Shajarian........ Bird of Dawn's lyrics is great.....it has political connotations!
