Persian Love Song
Dead Can Dance
Persian Love Song (Translation)
They say your charger is your pal on the day of battle
I say even better is the gun
A cavalryman without a gun is without vigour
A cavalryman is one when he has got a gun
I sold my silver-stock gun
Sewed a Termeh frock for my love
She returned it to me when I sent her the frock
Oh alas my silver-stock gun
[Termeh is a Persian textile]
