(from the album « Echotropia » trad from Persia, lyrics: Stassinopoulou)
In the desert’s depths, in castles faraway
Age-old secrets buried in the sand
Songs forgotten, that celebrate love
They say prince Majnoun is still alive
Beyond Samarkande, in inns and backyards
Wandering troubadours play with seven chords
Songs of war echoing in the desert
Galloping Assassins, spreading despair
In Asia’s far horizon, with opium and hash
Tales are narrated, of distant times
Mystified travelers with a hazy mind
Say they met the Mountain’s Old Man
Translated in English by Thalia Iakovidou
