Baluchi Traditional: Laila O Laila

Rostam Mirlashari grew up in the Sistan-Baluchistan  area of Iran. In 1991, the political situation and fear for his life in Baluchistan convinced him to leave Iran and move to Sweden. Here's a Baluchi traditional song performed by his fusion Baluchi-Swedish band.





Mijaazi ent Laila
Bya tar baraant sail a

O high-and-mighty Laila
The sights let me show ya

Tou shoto der kut
Zaheeran man a koor kut

You been long delayed
Tears my eyes decayed

Laila shan ko Laila
Laila u washe ent Laila

I'd die for you Laila
Laila, O sweet Laila

Gerwaartai saap ent
Dil mani aap ent

Your hair parting's so fine
It melted this heart of mine

Tai sar-e qaida
Kutag mana shaida

Saw your forehead bijou
Fell madly in love with you

Laila O Laila
Bya tar baraant sail a

Laila, O Laila
The sights let me show ya

Laila u washe ent Laila
Mijaazi ent Laila

Laila, O sweet Laila
O high-and-mighty Laila.
