Song: Rouz e Aval (First Day)
Singer: Dariush
CD: "Raah e Man" (My Way)

The song "rouz e aval" in Dariush's latest CD is my favorite, with lyrics that I can relate to. The CD cover has the lyrics but it is incomplete and has a couple of typos. Here it is in full as song:

gofti az eshgham hazar kon, che bad kardam nakardam
yaadam o az sar bedar kon, che bad kardam nakardam

rooz e aval gofte boodi vali az to nashenidam
tooye aaeene'ye dirooz kaashki fardaa ro mididam

baa to eshgh aamad o gom shod, har che bood zir o zebar shod
lahze-haa khaali o khaste, zendegi bihoodeh-tar shod

gofti az eshgham hazar kon, che bad kardam nakardam
fekr e aazaar o khatar kon, che bad kardam nakardam

eshgh e avalin to boodi, baa to man eshgh o shenaakhtam
ey to eshgh e aakharinam, rafti o dard o shenaakhtam

baa to man eshgh o shenaakhtam, baa to man zendegi saakhtam
az kesi gelaaye-i nist, age baakhtam be to baakhtam

gofti az eshgham hazar kon, che bad kardam nakardam
yaadam o az sar bedar kon, che bad kardam nakardam

har kesi pas az to aamad khalvat e man o be ham zad
to ro baaz be yaadam aavard age az aatefeh dam zad

har kesi pas az to aamad khalvat e man o be ham zad
sarnevesht e man naboode, sarneveshti ke ragham zad

rooz e aval gofte boodi vali az to nashenidam
tooye aaeene'ye dirooz kaashki fardaa ro mididam

baa to eshgh aamad o gom shod, har che bood zir o zebar shod
lahze-haa khaali o khaste, zendegi bihoodeh-tar shod

gofti az eshgham hazar kon, che bad kardam nakardam
fekr e aazaar o khatar kon, che bad kardam nakardam

gofti az eshgham hazar kon, che bad kardam nakardam
eshgham o az sar bedar kon, che bad kardam nakardam
