LYRICS
(and English translation)

ابرو به من کج نکن
کج کلاه خان یارمه
خوشکلمو خوشکل
دلها گرفتارمه
یکه زن و یکه سوارم
هیچ کجا رغیب ندارم
عاشق اسب سفیدم
دختری چابک سوارم
گیسو نگو کمند والله
چینو چینو بلند والله

پریشون دارم
تا که پریشون بشی
عشوه فراوون دارم
از نوک پا تا به سر

وقتی خمار می کنم
چشمامو تو اون چشات
اونو شکار می کنم
دل اگه سنگم باشه

ENGLISH TRANSLATION:

Don’t furrow your eyebrows at me
I’m with the guy in the crooked hat
I am beautiful, I am beautiful
I’ve left many broken hearts in my path
I am a lone rider, I’m a maverick
I have no rival anywhere
I love white stallions
I am a very good jockey girl
Long hair, like a lasso
With endless waves and curls

To mesmerize you
I’ve got locks for days
From head to toe
I’m a flirting machine

When I line up my gaze
And mesmerize you with a look
Even if you have heart of stone
I’ll have your heart
