Temptation in my heart

I'm burning, I fall apart!

When the night falls

My heart calls for love and devotion.

Tu asemone eshqam to bodi

Setareye man to bodi

Esme to hast setare,

Biya pisham dobare

Un moohaye meshkit mano kosht

Chesh maye zibat mano kosht

Bia bia pishe man dobare

Yalla bego are, setare!

Temptation in my heart

I'm burning, I fall apart!

When the night falls

My heart calls for love and devotion.

Temptation! I want you

Can you be my only one

When the night falls

My heart calls, for the touch of your hands.

Hama fekro khialam to hasti

Donya ye man to hasti

Esme to ro labame

Setare vay setare!

Ye omre bedoned khab boodam

Ta man toro peyda kardam

Bia bia pishe man dobare

Yalla bego are, setare!
