Looking For the Man Who Knows the Pleasant Song of Love

She knows he is out there somewhere. She may not have seen him yet, but she will recognize him for sure. How?

  • He calls her with the pleasant song of love;
  • He does for her what the touch of the dew does to the flower;
  • He frees her from her 100-year jail sentence;
  • He is intimate with her body the way the rain is with the lawn;
  • He is tender the way night's tears are to a lonely lover;
  • He has the breath of spring in his chest;
  • He can be the dawn of sun;
  • He can be that rare jewel for the ring of love

From Marjan's "Who Called On To Me?" (Ki Seda Kard Mano)

I Love Her---But She Has No Clue

This song tells the story about a man who loves a woman but she does not know about it. He wants to tell her. He tries to tell her. But, as outlined below, something always happens to prevent it.

I look at her, hoping she would read it in my eyes.
She does not.
I wrote'I love you" on the leaf of a flower.
She sticks the flower in the hair of a child to get the child to smile.
I plead with the Breeze to take my message to my beloved.
Thunder intercedes and blocks my beloved from view.

From: Moein's "Yeki Ra Doost Midaram" (There is Someone That I Love")
