Our hopes are with Shervin, might he come out of custody soon and won't be harmed. I see that this song touched many people in Iran and this is just my small help I can do. Stay safe!

On 8 January 2020, the Boeing 737-800 flying from Tehran to Kyiv was shot down by the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) shortly after takeoff killing all 176 passengers and crew aboard. Most of them were Iranians. And then they said sorry it was a mistake

“For dancing in the streets” is not referring to women dancing around fireplaces and burning their hijab, it’s saying that even “dancing” is forbidden in Iran :)))))))) we wish we can dance in the streets together someday🥺♥️

The lyrics are based on the tweets that are related to what’s happening in Iran. You reacted to it perfectly. The cheetah is in danger of extinction and the government refuses to get help from professionals and yes they massacred dogs for no reason and they’re actually against having pets such as dogs. Today people are fighting for their most simple rights and this song shows it all. Thank you for raising our voice ❤

We are in Iran and we struggle with all these problems every day.🙃 Thanks for reacting. 💔🙏🇮🇷

I cry every time I listen to this song You don't understand how accurate this is for us And especially because he made it out of people's tweets about the reasons why they don't want this Government anymore

He wrote the lyrics based on the tweets and made the song. So talented!

Thank you for your support ❤ This song is absolutely touching, but all the sentences have a story behind them, which are devastating. - the labor kid was looking in garbage cans to make a living, an interviewer asked him “what’s your biggest dream?” And the kid responded “what’s a dream?” - or the innocent dogs, the government killed a lot of stray dogs just because they are “haram” Even people can’t take they’re dogs outside for a walk because if a police sees it they’ll seize the dog by force - Like the Ukrainian flight 752, the government shot the plane twice on purpose and killed civilians which lots of them were Iranian-Canadians (there’s a documentary about it “752 is not a number)(you can also search “Hamed Esmaeilion”) - forced heaven refers to the stupid laws of mandatory hijab, not drinking alcohol, not having a boyfriend/girlfriend, not partying, and a lot of stupid things that they arrest people for. They lash people for doing these things - there are a lot of Afghan refugees in iran who don’t have any rights, they don’t even have any IDs just because they’re Afghan - buildings collapsed because of poor management and engineering with people inside them. A lot of innocent people were killed that day (search Metropol building Abadan) - girls have a lot of restrictions in Iran that’s why a lot of them wish they were boys. They can’t ride a bike, they can’t get a passport without their father’s or husband’s permission, they don’t have custody rights, etc. the list is endless

Thank you so much for your supporting. Please be our voice For freedom✌️🇮🇷

we (Iranian men and women) lived every single sentence of this poem. I listened to this song one thousand times and every time I cried louder and louder.

The song is sad and beautiful. And also Persian language is extremely beautiful, such a pleasure for ears.

❤ Some words in the Lyrics have multiple translations as a result, you may see different translations. Covering come of your questions: - prosperity: could have used progress, development or progression. - the airline reference: For not being able to experience (a wonderful feeling again) with a loved one (because they have passed) - child labour: more accurate translation might be homeless children who rummage through rubbish or have to work on the street/beg - dogs: dogs are seen as unclean in Islam (Islamic government kills them - or for stray dogs they kills them as opposed to sterilizing them) - fatherland: Persian doesn’t have gender in its grammar /we don’t even have he or she/ so it could have been translated to motherland too.

don’t say you can’t help bro you have already helped us being our voice to your subscribers 🙏

The "For" campaign was formed on Twitter so that Iranians could show the world the reasons for their protests with this "For", Shervin sang this song with a unique arrangement and voice from inside the country, each of those tweets is a great pain for Iranians. After Shervin published this video on his Instagram page, which had 40 million views, the police arrested him and removed the video from his Instagram page! Here, anyone who wants freedom is imprisoned, even an artist

I really appreciate you reacting to this. There are a better translated video for this song. Here is the required explanation, please read below. Reera: I’m sure my fellow Iranians have already mentioned this but in the original video there is a picture of her with her father which shervine sings for never experiencing this moment. Reera along her mum got killed in Ukrainian airline flight destination was Canada. Dogs mentioned in the song: So in nutshell, few months ago Islamic republic killed 2000 dogs 😢 in a desert and those dogs were harmless , vaccinated and neutered. Heaven part: Islamic republic forcing Islam on Iranians and they believe they are securing a place for us in heaven if we follow them. But the Islam they are imposing on us is not the real Islam . They are extremist 😢 Elite student: we have geniuses in Iran and this kids have been imprisoned for speaking their minds. Nothing else . This Islamic dictatorship of iran has taken having a normal life from us . Killing their own peoples and we can’t just take it anymore 😢 Fatherland: it’s not fatherland he says homeland or motherland. That’s just a translation mistake.Iran is a woman and women in Iran don’t have freedom. No women rights in Iran. We don’t have right to divorce , custody of child, cannot leave the country without husband’s or father ‘s permission. Ridiculous isn’t? These are the reasons we are in this war with this mother fuckers. Hope this made sense more to you now. Thank you

Thanks so much for your supporting 🌹💔 please pray for Iranian people be our voice love you so much Thank you

Hello, I am an Iranian girl and I happened to see this video, Shervin Hajipour is currently arrested for singing this song and no one knows where he is. About every tweet that was played, Shervin made this whole song based on the tweets and their meaning. As an Iranian, when you hear this song, hundreds of memories will appear in front of your eyes and you will feel every word from the depth of your heart. I cry deeply every time I hear this song. For Iran, woman, man, life and freedom. 🤍

Shervin - Baraye: For dancing in the streets For the fear of kissing For my sister, your sister, our sisters For the change of rotten minds For embarrassment of Poverty For longing for a normal life For the waste picker kid and his dreams For the prescriptive economy For the polluted air For ValiAsr street and the withered trees For Piroz (Persian Cheetah) and his anticipated extinction For the innocent forbidden dogs For non-stop weeping For imagining the recurrence of this scene ( Hamed Esmailion reading newspaper with his daughter who was killed in plane ps752 that was shot down by Islamic republic government) For a smiling face For students For future For this forced heaven For imprisoned elites For Afghan kids For all these unique "For"s For the meaningless slogans For the collapse of flimsy houses For feeling the peace For the sun rising after long nights For tranquilizer pills and insomnia For Man, Homeland, Development For the girl who wished to be a boy For Woman, Life, Freedom For FREEDOM For FREEDOM For Freedom

Thank you for being our voice and supporting.

Thank you for your support and be our voice to the world!🙏🏻🙂❤

You should be an Iranian woman to deeply understand an feel this song. This is not just a song, we lived every sentences of the song and many others. So many thanks for sharing the song to your subscribers. Until now, Shervin is in custody and no-one knows anything about his place.

You said you can’t help, but you just did. By being his voice and for being the voice of all Iranians who need support from the outside. Thank you❤️🙏🏼❤️

Thank you so much for bringing the spot light to us. Thank you for the support.

you have such a pure heart mate! you did enough by making this video to raise awareness! thank you for that!

مرسی از حمایتاتون...🌹 به امید آزادی ایران✌🖤🌹

In Iran some Iranian kids and also many Afghan kids do child labor. The "crushed dreams" refers to an interview when they asked one of those kids: "What is your dream?" and he replied: "What does dream mean?" 4:35 the full translation is "for never experiencing/repeating this moment AGAIN" which means Reera and her father can't never have such moment again because she was killed when they shot the plane down. Pirouz the Cheetah is at the danger of dying and he is the last remaining one of his siblings which were already an endangered species and all died because of sheer incompetence. And yeah, Iran is a female name and it's sometimes called "Mam-e Mihan" meaning our country is our mother. BUT in Iran we usually refer to Iran as neither "fatherland" nor "motherland", we usually call it HOMELAND and the actual word used here in Persian was also homeland. But since this line is "for" men they used fatherland.

You already helped us,by sharing this video...Now thousands of people knows what is going on Iran🙂❤️thank you so much

He won Grammy tonight. I hope you share the joy of recognition with us.❤

دردوو بر شرفتون به امید آزادی ایرانم💙

The child labor is in refrence to another video clip, there is a back story to most of these tweets. Child labor is about an interview with a homeless kid, when they asked him what do you wish for? His response was "what is a wish?"

Thank you for your support and being our voice🌹

man as an iranian i just want to say thank you so much for sharing and reacting on this amazing songs which means a lot to us these days

Thank you brother for your support 🙏, it means alot.

Every verse of this song carries a deep pain and one just can't understand it without living in those moments. The verse that says: "For the girl who wished to be a boy" refers to the blue girl, a girl who disguised herself as a boy to be able to get into the stadium, to cheer her favourite team, the blue team. She got arrested and sentenced 2 years in prison, later she set herself on fire and died a few days later in a hospital. This broke the whole nation's heart but not the regime rusted minds. No one can translate this song

THE INTRO was so nice and thank you for this video🤍love you from IRAN❤️

Thank you so much for being our voice, It's so heartwarming ,knowing that we are heared by the world this time and we are not alone in this.

As an Iranian woman, I cry every time I listen to this song because we all have been living in every sentence of this lyrics and feel it with our hearts. To be honest, you have already helped us to be our voice. It means a lot to us. Thank you🙏🏻

Shervine is still arrested and nobody knows where, not even his friends and family. Please help nominating this song for the “best song for social change” category of recording academy (grammy). This song has become the main anthem of Iranian protests all over the world. Sung in more than 150 cities on October 1st 2022.

عالیییی ممنونم ازت که به ما ایرانی ها انرژی میدی♥🔥🇮🇷🇮🇷🇮🇷🇮🇷

I hope it's not too late but thank you, thank you so much. I don't know you I just past this vid after not having access to Internet for about 3 days and it's so heartwarming to to realise so many people have noticed us. Sending BIG BIG LOVE to you whomever and wherever you are. ❤

The government arrests him after this song! We have no idea where he is now. Thanks for your support. We appreciate it. 🙏💪🖤✌️

As an Iranian person, I’m so thankful for being our voice and sharing our story, Shervin’s song is now like a national anthem for us, every Iranian cried by relating to this deep lyrics which is such a normal things for foreigners but a dream for us in Iran.this reaction video was so worthy.Thanks for sharing it Cojak (:🤍

Thank you very much for you support ❤ I'm irainian and It's really valuable for me :)💜

Thank you for the support, be our voice ❤ We lived every single part of this song

Iran is a Motherland. But actually the word Motherland or Fatherland doesn’t have a gender in persian. It’s actually homeland.

This song is magical. It's only a few days since it was released, and I've heard it a thousand times and cried every time. It's our tragic history of the last 40+ years. I can connect to every single word of this song. We've all lived this song.

You are helping by posting this and bringing awarewness... you are helping more than u know 🙏🙏🙏🤲🤲❤❤

dude thanks for understanding our situation, You have already shown us your love❤️. Many of my friends immigrated to your country, Iranian people love you and wish you the best. 🇮🇷🇩🇪

this video had 40million views on instagram in just 2 days(it is deleted now by security forces) Shervin arrested after publishing this music For Shervin❤For Freedom❤

Nominate his song to the Grammys in the Best Song for Social Change category! Please repost or boost! We need to make this happen for Shervin and awareness!

Thank you so very much fr informing the world about what is happening in Iran. I am so proud of many of our friends outside to bring the voice of young people in Iran to outside without any bias.

Cojak Rap you are doing something...you are showing your empathy and bringing more awareness to the world...thank you so much...keep posting💗

Thank you for bringing attention to this beautiful song that is now the anthem of the Iranian revolution of 2022. Just to give some context and answer some questions: --The tweets were how the song's lyrics came to be. In order for the hashtags to trend people would constantly tweet about why they were protesting. It became a trend by itself, starting a tweet with "baraye (because of)" and mentioning a cause. He took all those tweets and made a song out of it. --The cheetah, the last of its species, was one of two who were born in a zoo in Iran but because of lack of government support the zoo keepers couldn't keep its sibling alive. I'm not sure if the last one is still alive or not but it is basically referring to the way the Iranian government ignores Iran's rare and precious wildlife. --The dogs were poisoned and murdered simply because they were stray dogs. That was the government's solution to getting them off the streets instead of creating animal shelters and spaying/neutering adult dogs. --Reera Esmaeilion was the daughter of an Iranian/Canadian dentist. On January 8, 2020, a Ukrainian Airlines passenger aircraft she and her mother were on was shot down over Tehran by two missiles launched by the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps. No one was held responsible and no compensation, or even apology, was issued to the families. The Iranian regime killed 175 people and thought nothing of it. I hope that helps to understand the song better. It's a beautiful song that touches on so many issues that has haunted my people for the past 40 years. The Islamic Republic is an occupying force and our people are no different than Ukrainians trying to kick invaders out of their country. If you, or anyone else, still has questions don't hesitate to ask in the replies.

We are proud of you, you can be our voice and that's enough, thank you for being the voice of the Iranian people

as an iranian who live in iran i am really thankfull of you because of talking about the awefull situation that we are facing these days. i personally got chased by people who work for regime undercover and been threatened and robbed , just because of listening this song in my car that got viral for defending the protest.

Danke für dein Solidarität 💚 Frauen,Leben,Freedom for IRAN

Father land = mother land= home we dont have gender in our words in Farsi so “vatan وطن” means where you are born your hometown and home country

Hello I am Iranian and I feel deeply what Shervin says. These problems are just a part of our problems . I appreciate you and Shrvin for this song. We hope Justice and freedom for our women and country. 🌹🌹🌹🌹

You uploading this video is already a massive help.

Thank you for sharing this this is a big help❤ There is great pain under every sentence of this song that makes me cry every time I listen to it. You should be Iranian to fully get it.

He was reading (singing) from those tweets shown on the screen with minimal change. Flight PS752 was shutdown by missle from Iranian government. Reera along with her mother was one of the 175 passengers. The tweet was showing a photo of Reera and her father saying: For never reexperiencing this moment again (from his dad point of view)

11:54 Sherwin's video got 40 million views in 2 days and millions of Instagram pages posted it on their own page. Shervin is still in prison. Our people sing Shervin's song together in their protests. This song has become a freedom and national song for us. I hope that Shervin and Iran will be freed as soon as possible.

It’s very very touching, I myself want to help from Sweden so I’m trying to learn the song on the piano and singing it in English, but with a bit different lyrics. If you go and search for the English cover of “baraye” then it’ll come one that I think is a bit better translated- if you want- and just releasing this video and sharing to the world is what can cause a reaction and maybe even a revolution for freedom. Thank you

You already did so much brother! 🙌🏻🙏🏻♥️

To understand the depth of the song, you need to know that there is a sad story behind each and every line (tweet), and that makes it special.

This song means alot for our ongoing revoulotion.youve done your part.thanks for sharing it brother.

Thank you for your support. I am proudly an Iranian woman

I want to say something about ‘Rira’ who is mentioned in this song. She was a little girl in the flight with her Mom and they were on the way to Canada back to her father ‘Hamed esmailion’ that the tragic murder happened. On 1st of October 2022 Hamed (her father) arranged protests all around the world against all these crimes, enormous number of people attended.… we all now know Hamed, who lost his wife and daughter, we feel his pain, we feel all of these words… thank you for sharing this… it makes me cry over and over again …

Thank you for your support and being our voice! ✌️💔

You are sharing, so are doing alot! Thank you!
