Mom Tell Me A Story :: The Abadeh Choir

November 24th, 2016

Mom tell me a story, my heart is longing
Tell me dad’s story, my heart is longing
Mother, mother, mother, mother

Mom talk to me, tell me about his faith
Mom talk to me, tell me about his commitment
Mom only you and God know, so tell me about his goodness
Tell me about his compassion, kindness, and loyalty
Tell me about his gallantries and his combat
Mother, mother, mother, mother

I dreamt of dad again last night
I saw him having a halo of heavenly light
When I got close to him
I saw countless angels around him
I looked at him, I trembled
I called him, he smiled at me
He took me in his arms and kissed me
His lips were smiling, his eyes were crying, he  smelled me, he kissed me
Dad kissed me, dad smelled me
When he saw my tears, he became fervent
Dad kissed me, dad smelled me
When he saw my tears, he became fervent
Dad caressed me, and he advised me
That in the war against the enemy, it is shameful to compromise

Dad caressed me, and he advised me
That in the war against the enemy, it is shameful to compromise
Mother, mother, mother, mother

Dad picked a tulip for me, and took me in his arms
After hearing my heart aches, he mentioned Hussain (pbuh)
‘‘Is my blood more precious than Hussain’s (pbuh)?’’ he asked
‘‘Is my life sweeter than his?’’
‘‘If I dedicated the one life I have to Hussain’s and God’s path’’
‘‘It’s no big deal; thousands would sacrifice their lives for Hussain’’
‘‘Tell your mom to never grieve’’
‘‘Dad and Hussain (pbuh) are together’’
Mother, don’t grieve, don’t mourn
Dad and Hussain (pbuh) are together
