The World Full of Love

This is a Persian song against war. The text had been written during the Gulf War of 1991. This song had been broadcast by a local radio station in Kurdistan in February 91, I mean contemporaneous with the war. It’s not only about the Gulf War, but all the wars which are going on in many places in the world.

:The English translation of the text

 

We are youth people

                    crazy on love

Our hearts are full of joy at life,

  are full of anger against

    this pain and disaster,

  are in love with the future

 

Tomorrow

  it shall be

  a sun which shines

  and a cloud which rains

above us

Bombs, fire, gunpowder and poisons

  shall never fill the Earth and air

 

Our war

  is that between owners and non-owners

  so we root out the wars on the Earth,

  bury it and all warmongers

                    so becomes the world

                                     full of love
