The young musician Shervin Hajipour is now in prison in Iran for composing this song of protest as part of the mass rebellion that the country is seeing after the killing of Mahsa Amini.
This is the current anthem of Iran. It is a protest song written by the young singer-song writer Shervin Hajipour. It is made up of tweets that have emerged during the ongoing protests against the government of Iran and its moral police. The protests erupted after a young woman, Mahsa Amini, died after being tortured by the moral police for wearing the hijab 'wrongly'. Hajipour has been arrested for composing this song.
Baraye (For the sake of)
For the sake of dancing in the street
For the fear in the moment of kissing
For my sister, your sister, our sisters
For changing the eroded brains
For the shame,
For the pennilessness
For the yearning for a normal life
For the sake of the poor child that searches in the garbage and their dreams
For this command economy
For this polluted air
For Vali-'asr and the withered trees
For Piruz and his probable extinction
For the forbidden innocent dogs
For the non-stop cryings
For the image of repetition of this moment
For a laughing face
For the students,
For the future
For this mandatory paradise
For the imprisoned intellects
For the Afghan children
For all of this 'for's that have no repetition
For all this hollow chants
For the collapse of the chaffy houses
For the feeling of peace and tranquillity
For the sun after long nights
For the mental illness' pills and insomnia
For men, fatherland, prosperity
For the sake of the girl that wished she was a boy
For women, life, freedom
For freedom
For freedom
For freedom.
