This is the original song
And this with nice twists
My comment:
After understanding the meaning, this song brings nationality spirits (Iran) and love country. Even though this is not Iran's national anthem, but Iranian think this is the national song. People of Iran will always stands together in protecting their country. They have things that outsider don't. How far they go, Iranians spirits never fade. With this song, I believe Iranians can fight for their country which is currently facing too much pressure from world (especially U.S). It is not because of nuclear but its pride and dignity. Yek rooze khub miyad...
Note to bff:
When i'm still here by your side, i will always understand what happens around you. About your country. Your vatan. Still remember what you told me, har ja ba to yani vatan.
