Niloufar

COUNTRY: Iran
LANGUAGE: Iranian/Persian/Farsi

“Niloufar” is a traditional Persian folk song about the determination of love to win out over all challenges. The singer is in love with Niloufar, his beautiful lily, but she is not with him. He determines to keep searching for her no matter what the cost: “I will go to the hills and wilderness with the hope that you may be among the meadows….” In our version the singer takes solace in the fact that, though each of them is sleeping alone, together they sleep beneath the very same moon.

Lyrics of All Around This World version:

Oh my flower, my niloufar, my love
Oh my flower, my niloufar, my love
We will always share the moon above
We will always share the moon above

Oh my flower, my niloufar, my true
Oh my flower, my niloufar, my true
I’ll forever search this world for you
I’ll forever search this world for you

I will always love you Niloufar, O Niloufar, O Niloufar, O Niloufar
I will always love you Niloufar, O Niloufar, O Niloufar, O Niloufar
