Shervin - Baraye | شروین - برای

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Baraye

"Baraye..." (Persian: برای..., meaning "For..." or "Because of...") is a 2022 protest song by Shervin Hajipour, inspired by the death of Mahsa Amini and its aftermath.

After the death of Mahsa Amini and the start of the protests, an Internet meme was spread through the social media (and Twitter in particular), by which (through phrases starting with the word "for") the users explained their personal reasons for protesting and wishing for regime change in Iran.

Trying to capture the essence of these sentiments, Hajipour wrote each verse of the lyrics based on a separate tweet. The resulting text touches upon several topics in need of change, including: low life satisfaction, women's rights, children's rights, the rights of refugees, animals rights, environmental concerns, recession and poverty, theocracy and outdated social and religious taboos, militarism and political corruption, local corruption, freedom of speech, and the government's hostility against other countries.

On 29 September 2022 Hajipour was arrested for the song "Baraye". He was forced to remove the song from his social media platforms by the Iranian Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps's security agents shortly after his arrest.

English lyrics:

For dancing in the streets freely

For our fear of kissing our loved ones

For my sister, your sister, our sisters

For the renewal of the rusted minds

For embarrassed fathers with empty hands

For the sigh over an ordinary life

For the child of labor and his dreams

For this dictatorial economy

For this polluted air

For “Valiasr”street and it’s worn trees

For the extinction of Persian cheetahs

For the murdered innocent street dogs

For all the unstoppable tears

For the image of repeating this moment

For the smiling faces

For the students and their future

For this compulsory heaven

For elites in prison

For the Afghan kids

For all these non-repetitive “For’s”

For all these meaningless slogans

For all these collapsed buildings

For the feeling of peace

For sunrise after long dark nights

For the sedative and insomnia pills

For man, motherland, prosperity

For the girl who wished to be born as a boy

For woman, life, freedom

For freedom

For freedom

For freedom

Iranian Protest Anthem That Led to Singer’s Arrest Wins a Grammy

First lady Jill Biden presented the inaugural Best Song For Social Change award

Last fall, Iranian officials arrested singer-songwriter Shervin Hajipour. His song “Baraye,” posted on Instagram just days earlier, had become an anthem for the protests that were gaining momentum across the country. 

After his arrest, the song vanished from his Instagram page—and sources close to him believe he was made to remove it, according to Rosie Swash of the Guardian. But “Baraye” was already spreading like wildfire, quickly racking up millions of views. 

As its popularity grew, writes the Guardian, “Baraye” was “sung by schoolgirls in Iran, blared from car windows in Tehran and played at solidarity protests in Washington, Strasbourg and London.” It was even covered by Coldplay, who performed it alongside exiled Iranian actor Golshifteh Farahani at the band’s Buenos Aires concert in October.

This week, the lyrics to “Baraye” rang out over the crowd at the 65th annual Grammy Awards, where it was named the Best Song For Social Change. The Recording Academy added the award this year to recognize “songwriters creating message-driven music that responds to and addresses the social issues of our time head-on while inspiring positive global impact,” per the Grammys’ website.

Presenting the award, first lady Jill Biden called the song “a powerful and poetic call for freedom and women’s rights.”

“Shervin was arrested,” she added, “but this song continues to resonate around the world with its powerful theme: women, life, freedom.”

Hajipour was released on bail a few days after his arrest, but he is facing charges that could lead to years of jail time, reports Jon Gambrell of the Associated Press. 

“Baraye,” a word meaning “for” or “because of” in Farsi, takes its lyrics from protesters’ social media posts, in which they write about their reasons for demonstrating with the hashtag #baraye. The song begins:

For dancing in the alleys For the fear when kissing For my sister, your sister, our sisters For changing rusted minds

to dance in the street برای توی کوچه رقصیدن To be afraid when kissing برای ترسیدن به وقت بوسیدن For my sister, your sister, our sisters برای خواهرم، خواهرت، خواهرامون To change the rotting brains برای تغییر مغزها که پوسیدن For shame, for lack of money برای شرمندگی، برای بی پولی To miss an ordinary life برای حسرت یک زندگی معمولی For the garbage child and his dreams برای کودک زباله گرد و آرزوهاش For this command economy برای این اقتصاد دستوری For this polluted air برای این هوای آلوده For Waliasr and worn trees برای ولیعصر و درختای فرسوده For victory and the possibility of its extinction برای پیروز و احتمال انقراضش Forbidden for innocent dogs برای سگ های بی گناه ممنوعه For non-stop crying برای گریه های بی وقفه For the image to repeat this moment برای تصویر تکرار این لحظه For a smiling face برای چهره ای که می خنده For students, for the future برای دانش آموزا، برای آینده For this mandatory paradise برای این بهشت اجباری For the imprisoned elites برای نخبه های زندانی For Afghan children برای کودکان افغانی For all this for non-repetitive برای این همه برای غیر تکراری For all these empty slogans برای این همه شعارهای توخالی For the rubble of the fake houses برای آوار خونه های پوشالی To feel relaxed برای احساس آرامش For the sun after a long night برای خورشید پس از شبای طولانی For nerves and insomnia pills برای قرص های اعصاب و بی خوابی For man, country, settlement برای مرد، میهن، آبادی For the girl who wished it was a boy برای دختری که آرزو داشت پسر بود For women, life, freedom برای زن، زندگی، آزادی for freedom برای آزادی for freedom برای آزادی for freedom برای آزادی

“‘Baraye’ winning a Grammy sends the message to Iranians that the world has heard them and is acknowledging their freedom struggle,” Nahid Siamdoust, an expert on Middle Eastern studies at the University of Texas at Austin and author of Soundtrack of the Revolution: The Politics of Music in Iran, tells the New York Times’ Farnaz Fassihi. “It is awarding their protest anthem with the highest musical honor.”

Leading up to Sunday’s ceremony, the Recording Academy had solicited submissions from the public for the new award. According to the Times, of the 115,000 submissions received, more than 95,000 were for “Baraye.”

As the song’s popularity grows, it continues to resonate with audiences. “I’d never seen my 74-year-old mother cry like she did the day I played her ‘Baraye,’” writes Rebecca Morrison, whose family fled Iran in 1979, in Salon.

“So many of us have cried listening to it over and over,” BBC News’ Bahman Kalbasi wrote on Twitter in September. “The artist Shervin Hajipour has summed up the deep national sadness and pain Iranians have been feeling for decades, culminating in the tragedy of #MahsaAmini.”

Mahsa Amini, a 22-year-old Iranian woman, died in police custody in September—just days after Iran’s “morality police” detained her for wearing her hijab incorrectly. Her death sparked the protests that have been spreading ever since.

The new Grammy honor came after a year and a half of work. Singer-songwriter Maimouna Youssef, one of the artists behind the award, wanted to encourage young artists to make authentic, driven music—the kinds of songs that “bring about understanding where there was none,” she told NPR’s Leila Fadel in November.

“It is like a wildfire that you cannot stop,” she added. “You can arrest the writer, but you can't arrest the song. It's already out there. It's in the hearts of the people.”

For freedom - by Shervin Aghapour

For dancing in the streets,

For being scared when it’s time to kiss (your lover),

For my sister, for your sister, and for our sisters,

For the change of the brains that have rotten,

For shame and for poverty,

For yearning for an ordinary life,

For the child and their crushed dreams,

For this dictatorial economy,

For this polluted air,

For Valiars (street) and its worn out trees,

For the endangered Asiatic cheetah,

For the innocent forbidden dogs,

For our never ending tears,

For the repeated image of this moment,

For the smiling faces,

For the students, for the future,

For this forced heaven,

For the imprisoned elite students,

For the Afghan kids,

For all of these countless “for”s,

For all these hollow slogans and chants,

For the collapse of these poor built buildings,

For peace and serenity,

For the sunrise after long nights of darkness,

For the sleeping pills and the sleepless nights,

For the men, homeland and prosperity,

For the girls who wished they were boys,

For women, for life, for freedom,

For freedom,

For freedom,

For freedom.

Shervin Hajipoor, who sang the song “for”, has been arrested. He compiled tweets from Iranians who explained what they were fighting for in these protests and made it into a heartbreaking song. He is now arrested, along with so many others, mainly young Iranians full of hope, with their future ahead of them. 

Be his voice now. Spread the word.

نقد و بررسی فیلم اوپنهایمر

در برجسته‌ترین تاریخ هنر و ادبیات، داستانی فراتر از واقعیت‌ها، یک شاهکار ادبی با عنوان "Oppenheimer"، از بدرخشنده‌ترین اثرها شاخصیتی را به تصویر می‌کشد که چرخش‌هایی از پرتو‌های اندیشه و علم به سرنوشت مردم و جهان آورد. برهم‌نهادن این موجود ادبی، نگارندگان دانشمند و عالمِ درخشانِ "جی. رابرت اوپنهایمر" را به ویژه از کتاب "American Prometheus: The Triumph and Tragedy of J. Robert Oppenheimer" برآمد. کای برد و مارتین جِی. شروین، این اثر عظیم‌الجثه را بعد از گذشت یک چهارچوبه‌ی بیست و پنج ساله خلق و خوش‌نویسی کردند و در سال 2005 به بزرگنما پایان یافت. هنگام ایجاد این داستان، تلاش‌های فراوان و حماسی این دو نویسنده در برگزاری مصاحبه‌ها با صدها افراد و جمع‌آوری بیش از 26000 مدرک بود که می‌تواند دلیلی برای طولانی شدن این اثر فراهم سازد. استوار بر ارزش‌های فلسفی و انسان‌محور این کتاب، پس از انتشار، موفقیت‌آمیزی اسطوره‌ای را به ارمغان آورد. برخوردها و تعاملات جهانیان، جایزه‌های بی‌عدد و بی‌اندازه‌ای نظیر جایزه پولیتزر، جایزه داف کوپر، جایزه بهترین کتاب سال شیکاگو و جایزه بهترین کتاب مجله دیسکاوری را از آغاز تا انجام، معنا‌دارتر و موقرتر ساخت و بر میانگین جهانی توجه و ارزش‌ها احاطه کرد
