It is wonderful and moving!! enjoy!
If you wish to read the lyrics:
Sento nell'aria profumo di te
Piccoli sogni vissuti con me
Ora lo so
Non voglio perderti
Quella dolcezza così senza età
La tua bellezza rivali non ha
Il cuore mio vuole soltanto te
Per te, per te, vivrò
L'amore vincerà
Con te, con te avrò
Mille giorni di felicità
Mille notti di serenità
Farò quello che mi chiederai
Andrò sempre dovunque tu andrai
Darò tutto l'amore che ho per te
Dimmi che tu già il futuro lo sai
Dimmi che questo non finirà mai
Senza di te non voglio esistere
Per te, per te, vivrò
L'amore vincerà
Con te, con te, avrò
Mille giorni di felicità
Mille notti di serenità
Farò quello che mi chiederai
Andrò sempre dovunque tu andrai
Darò tutto l'amore che ho per te
Non devo dirtelo
Ormai già lo sai
Che morirei senza di te
Per te, per te, vivrò
L'amore vincerà
Con te, con te, farò
Tutto quello che mi chiederai
Andrò sempre dovunque tu andrai
Darò tutto l'amore che ho per te
in English:
For You
I smell in the air the scent of you
Little dreams had lived with me
Now I know, I don’t wanna lose you
That sweetness which has no age
Your beauty has no rivals
My heart wants only you
For you, For you, I’ll live
Love is gonna win
With you, With you, I’ll have
Hundreds days of happiness
Hundreds nights of serenity
I’ll do what you’ll ask me to
I’ll go always anywher you go
I’ll give all the love I feel for you
Tell me that you know the future, yet
Tell me that this is not gonna change
Without you I don’t wanna exist
For you, For you, I’ll live
Love is gonna win
With you, With you, I’ll have
Hundreds days of happiness
Hundreds nights of serenity
I’ll do what you’ll ask me to
I’ll go always anywher you go
I’ll give all the love I feel for you
I mustn’t say it to you, by now you know it
That I would die without you
For you, For you, I’ll live
Love is gonna win
With you, With you, I’ll do
Everything you’ll ask me to
I’ll go always anywher you go
I’ll give all the love I feel for you

A short of what I think!
My comment to Doste khobam (motasefaneh esmesho nemidonam) Yek Dokhtare
Aval az hameh azat ozr khahi mikonam, man motasefaneh balad nistam, farsi type konam, so I write everything in English. I hope that does not get interpreted to “Jafar khan rafteh farang.” By Writing this in English that does not mean I am intending to say I am better than you or understand better than you, not at all. So, I want to say that before I start to answer your comment.
( just write now on CNN there is report of a Egyptian-American father killed shut his own girl who was dating a none-Muslim boy!!)
I think the location of whoever picks up to live in any part of this earth is something we are entitled to choose and this is part of human right. Having said that, everyone has many reasons for leaving or staying in the place they were born. So, rest assure that my reasons of leaving Iran have not been due to political or even to gain a better living standard! Because if I had stayed in Iran, I would have had a more comfortable life style than I am having here. Trust me on that!
Let’s not play any type of accusation or labeling that is common among us, Iranians. As I said I have had my reason to move out of Iran.
I am not trying to fix anything at once. Never! I would have liked it but not possible in my view! This is something I never intend to do. What I emphasize on is something little children do, take one step at the time!
I agree, that Iran's problems are 100% related to culture. People do many unjustified act, killing their siblings for nothing, But does this justifies us (by us I mean those who understand that is incorrect) care not to do anything towards these cultural issues!?
I do not mean, to go out and start to change people or tell them either you change your mind or else I do something to you, not. Completely contrary. That is what our fathers did in Iran during revolution, from what I understand!
What I mean is simply I should first start by myself. For example, if I ever have child would I give her/him hard time as it is done by many traditional families in Iran? Will I ask my girl to stay virgin until she gets married or else she has been a disgrace to her family! Or
I would choose another approaches, for example, provide her with the information needed for such a situations if she ever decides to have sex.
When I say we should act upon us than others. This idea simply comes from the fact,
You wouldn’t litter your own room/home, would you? So why not stop throwing litter on streets? So, I start with myself.
When I say we shall start with ourselves, I mean to open our own eyes to realities and avoid superstitious. To provide the real information to people around us, not to refrain the information from flowing. Show the truth, and not the lies!
The last thing but not the least, I don’t think you should judge me for anything you have not even seen or done! I never criticize you for why are you going out with Dr. (unfortunately I don’t know his name), so therefore, you are not good girl! One of those unnecessary conclusions!
Let’s forget that idea of accusing, just be on the side that accept each other with what we are.
What you do is great, I am sure. Learning to survive and enjoy, as you put it, in Society of Mashhad and in greater extend in Iran. And I am not there to judge you.
all I am saying is that we,in Iran, need more freedom, easier flow of information and I think avoid judging people, especially young people like you!
We are on the same side! let's not think what I have written for you is something against you.
So, my entire opinion goes around this fact: Give information, let the person to decide for her/himself.
by theway, if you got time, read my old posts: just click and read some of them:

My long list wish, never come true! and what I missed.
What I miss the most when I look back!
I am sure everyone, who is completely satisfied with his/her life; there is something they have missed in their life or wished they had!
What did I missed or wished I could do the most, I tend to ask myself!
1. I miss those years that I could spend with my high school and primary school friends and just have fun without fear of revolutionary guard in Iran.
2. I missed simply a sit out at a cafe-shop in Tehran and greet at my fellows who I know!
3. To fall in love at young age and have crush on someone I admired!
4. I miss those fun times we could have with friends. The time we could simply get together rather than just sitting at home. Go all out to a local club where we lived in Iran, talk to the people spoke my mother tongue. Just drink and have a fair laugh at ourselves and good time.
5. Those years that I was away from my family and friends can be recounted to be with them again. I wished I could change a few things in my family life without hassle!
6. I wished I could see smiling women hand in hand with their partner not wearing veil on streets of Iran. I miss to see that. I have seen that in europe and North America why not in Iran?!
7. I wished everyone including my friends can get a visa to come to this side of the world!
6. I wished and I missed...
if anyone, you could add more...

Iran, A center of development and achievement since ...
One thing I can't understand is that in the news agencies that are close to Iranian state we achieve everyday a new heights in science and technology!
but, yes there is but,
after 29 years being under economic sanctions and knowing thnigs will not be changed, why we can't fix our passangers' airplanes we bought 30 years ago? or have them checked properly?
Just yesterday: A plane taking off from Tehran, its front wheel breaks down and starts to burn according to Fars news close to conservative and current government!
I am not an aviation expert, but a simple overhaul seems so difficult for Iranian technicians, how can we achieve so many frontiers in today's Iran science according to many state own news agencies but not being able to just properly check technicality of a plane!

Politics!? year 2007! A review!!
It has been a long time I have not written about politics. But I as anything is some how related to politics, I would like to write short thing about some issues came to my attention.
While I was reading Molla Hassani’s serious writings, I started to think what has happened to many people throughout these years! The people I am going to talk about are not just any people; as their position and being “insider” made them in some extend to play a role in current Iranian history!
I recall one of the most wishes many young Iranians have is to leave Iran and become acquainted with life of Iranian Diaspora. Or as I put it” experience the life under westernized civilization, free regardless of their beliefs and of course, higher standard of life”.
So, who are these people and where they are today!
1. Ms. Fatemeh Haghighatjou, after being outspoken member of Iranian parlement in Khatami era. She left Iran to be a guest researcher at MIT Center for International Studies and She is now working at The University of Connecticut in Storrs.
Interesting from her biographical synopsis in MIT webpage: “Ms. Haghighatjoo speaks some English and is available for interviews.”!!!
2. Mr. Hossein Derakhshan, those who does not know him, can get to know him through Wikipedia. He is hardcore advocate of Islamic republic though immigrated to Canada with wife in 2000, owns Canadian passport, goes around the world labels people with what he thinks is correct! Question I always wonder about is, how did he moved to Canada since he did not have bachelor from any university (according to wikipedia)?! And why outside of Iran he lives?! if he believes IR system is a system that is standing against "free market"? how could he travel around the world with his “French girlfriend” as he puts it (he has already divorced from wife, not that is my business!)!! He currently has started to study in an private school with not having a fixed job! To my experience, a person who has work in food chains and with many difficulty lived his bachlor years, how could he travel so much if does not have much money or a fix job!
3. Mr. Amir Farshad Ebrahimi , Wikipedia reads: he is a former member of Ansar-e Hezbollah and Basij of Iran, currently a peace and human rights activist living in Germany. For those who don’t know him, he is the guy who got Ms. Shirin Ebadi into jail because of his confessions about what Ansar-e Hezbollah did. An example was what happened when Mr. Mohajerani former minster of Islamic guidance speech was set to violence.
His weblog!
In any case, I just wonder where they are the above people and where they were about 5 years ago! So, life has lots of ups and down! note to myself, no kidding!!
Happy 2008 and a year full of health and prosperty for all!
