دیدی گفتم دیدی گفتم که Didi goftam, didi goftam ke I told you so, I told you that
یه روز پر میکشی تو هوا ye rooz par mikeshi too havaa someday you'll fly away.
دیدی گفتم دیدی گفتم که didi goftam, didi goftam ke I told you so, I told you that
تو هم میری به خاطره ها to ham miri be khaatere haa you'll become a memory, too.
میاد اونروز که نمیگیری سراغ از ما miyaad oon rooz ke nemigiri soraagh az maa Someday you'll [no longer] ask about me.
     
میدونستم میدونستم که midoonestam, midoonestam ke I knew it, I knew that
دل سرد تو موندنی نیست خوندنی نیست dele sarde to moondani nist moondani nist your cold heart wasn't here to stay.
رفتی پر کشیدی دل نشست وگریست rafti, par keshidi, del neshast o gerist You left, flew [away], my heart sat and wept.
نمونده برام جز اشک چشم و دو گونه خیس namoonde baraam joz ashk-e chashm o do gooneye khis Nothing left for me but tears and two wet cheeks.
     
دلی که بی نیاز همش فکر پرواز deli ke bi niyaaze, hamash fekre parvaaze The heart that needs nothing thinks of flying all the time.
میخواد بذاره بره mikhaad bezaare bere It wants to let go.
قلبی که غم نداره همش فکر فراره ghalbi ke gham nadaare, hamash fekre faraare The heart that isn't sad thinks of running away.
موندن براش مشکله moondan baraash moshkele It's hard for it to stay.
     
دیدی, دیدی گفتم didi, didi goftam See? I told you so!
دیدی, دیدی گفتم didi, didi goftam See? I told you so!
دیدی, دیدی گفتم didi, didi goftam See? I told you so!
دیدی, دیدی گفتم didi, didi goftam See? I told you so!
