Parviz Meshkatian (arr. Sahba Aminikia): DARDE MOSHTARAK (SHARED PAIN): Kronos Quartet, Shiraz Choir

"In September 2022, the death of a 22-year old woman, Mahsa Amini, in custody of morality police, sparked an ongoing series of protests against the state's gender apartheid. The Islamic republic's violent crackdown on the protestors has escalated this movement into a full-blown uprising across the country and around the globe.
In Iran, protests have been going on every day for the past 2.5 months. 16,813 people have been arrested, and 402 have been gunned down by the security forces, 58 of whom were minors.
The Iranian people's revolution asks for FREEDOM and EQUALITY for all."

Oh, dear! Join us!
Join us!
Don’t remain stranded by yourself!
For this pain, that we share,
Will not recover,
In me, the lonesome me,
In you, the lonely you.
This difficult life,
For us,
Without a shared battle,
Will never become easier.
Don’t remain by yourself,
Join us, dear!
Oh, dear! Join us!
Join us!
Don’t remain stranded by yourself!
For this pain, that we share,
Will not recover,
In me, the lonesome me,
In you, the lonely you.
