Kurdish song

[eskandar]

Bahman Ghobadi (Iranian Kurdish director) sings this song at the beginning of one of his interviews. It's very nice, but I only understand a few words of it. I was wondering if anyone knows what it's called, what it means, or where I can find a recorded version?

ey ke min giriftarî tom
sheydai bejn u balî tom

ey ke min giriftarî tom
sheydai bejn u balî tom

lew rojewe tom dîwe
eshqêk le dilim chespîwe

le to ciwantirim nedîwe
ey ke min giriftarî tom
ey ke min giriftarî tom
ey ke min giriftarî tom.

The interview is here.

I asked someone to translate it into Persian. He has written the poem more completely:

ئه ی که من گرفتاری توم ــــــ شیتی ورده خالی توم
له و روژه وه توم دیوه ــــــ عشقت له دلم چه سپیوه
له تو جوانترم نه دیوه ــــــ ئه ی که من گرفتاری توم
هه لم بژاردووی به دلی خوم ــــــ به چاوانت سویند ئه خوم
من به ته نیا هه ر هی توم ــــــ ئه ی که من گرفتاری توم

[eskandar]

Thanks Ali. Let us know when they translate it!

ey ke min giriftarî tom = my manner is bad because of u
sheydai bejn u balî tom....im crazy about ur body(ur style)
lew rojewe tom dîwe....from the day that i saw u
eshqêk le dilim chespîwe.....ur love set down on my heart.
le to ciwantirim nedîwe....i havent seen anyone prettier that u.

I HOPE that helps

Zor supas!! I was dying to know, as it's such a pretty song. I can understand some of it now, since I know a little Kurdish and the words are similar to Persian, but can you help me translate some of the words?

-What is the meaning of tom? It must be a form of to, right?

-Can you give a literal translation of this sentence: sheydai bejn u balî tom? I think bejn means length, right? And does u mean "and"?

-Does le mean "from"? What's the difference between le and lew?

[alijsh]

My two cents worth:

-What is the meaning of tom? It must be a form of to, right?

Can it be tum and contraction of tu+im (Persian: to+am)?

Kurdish: ey ke min giriftarî tom => Persian: ey ke man gereftâre toam (gereftâratam)

-Can you give a literal translation of this sentence: sheydai bejn u balî tom? I think bejn means length, right? And does u mean "and"?

I think it is like Persian's "ghadd o bâlâ", which is used to praise somebody's stature and overall body shape.

Kurdish: sheydai bejn u balî tom => sheydâye ghadd o bâlâye toam (bâlâ'tam)

yea, i agree with alijash 100% ..

and tom = yours . . . its different to TO which means YOU (singular)

and yea bejn means "length" just like alijas has exlplained.
yup , u = and ,,, or more like W

le = from , and lew = since

Note that lew and lêw are totally different, and prenounced different too, lew = since
and lêw = lip

if u need anythign else js ask away . . .

btw check out the unilang wiki, i have started the Kurdish section . . . so have a look if u wanted to.


tk for now .

tom does not mean yours, it means - to hastam in farsi. le is از in farsi lew comes for le+ew which means (from that) in farsi: از آن
