Transliteration

Raqs bekon, shor bede kherman zolfan Allah mahe shabestan! Charkh bezan, charkh bezan o peyala chasman Allah afate dawran!

Zang bezan, zang kate paye belawreen Allah khermane tamkin! Chak chak beko, qars bezan sar khele khooban Sar o shana bejonban

Peyala bezan, badah berez ba saghare man Bote mah paykare man Chashmak bezan, chasmak baman bote raqiban Allah bargashta mozhgan!

متن اصلی

رقص بکن، شور بده خرمن زلفان الا ماه شبستان! چرخ بزن، چرخ بزن او پياله چشمان الا آفت دوران!

زنگ بزن، زنگ کتی پای بلورين الا خرمن تمکين! چک چک بکو، قرس بزن سر خيل خوبان سر و شانه بجنبان

پياله بزن، باده بريز به ساغر من بت ماه پيکر من چشمک بزن، چشمک بمن بت رقيبان الا برگشته مژگان!

Dance, Create Commotion — an invitation to the kind of public joy that Persian poetry has always associated with the beloved's presence, her movement as the cause of the world's disruption.

About This Recording

Dance, make a commotion — the celebratory side of Persian song, where the beloved's movement throws the whole world into beautiful disorder. 'Shor' is not just noise; it is the room rearranged around the fact of her dancing. The recording does what it asks: it calls for dancing and it sounds like dancing, the arrangement propulsive, the voice inviting rather than grieving. In a catalog thick with sorrow, this one insists on joy as the right response to the beloved being near.
