Farsi

آهای کوچولوی زشت

ممنون برای یکرنگی

پرده ها را کنار زدی

مهربانی را به یاد ما آوردی

نقاب های مخفی ما را آشکار کردی

عادل بودی وتبعیض قائل نشدی

تو ما را میکشی اما ممنون که صادقانه این را میگویی

نه مانند سیاست مدارانی که دم از حقوق بشر میزنند و پشت پرده خون ها میریزند

تو سبب شدی که بار دگر با هم باشیم

ممنون که کمک کردی تا جدایی را پایان دهیم

بدن های ما را آلوده کردی، زشت بود اما

ممنون برای اینکه دل ها ی ما را پاک کردی و این زیبا بود

بله تو ویروس کو چولوی زشت هستی اما

ممنون برای یکرنگی

کوچولوی زشت

Hey Little Nasty

Hey you little nasty

Thanks for the clarification

You’ve dropped the curtains

Reminded us of that beautiful sense, yes I mean affection

You’ve revealed our invisible masks

Treated us fairly not with discrimination

You are killing us but thanks for being honest about it

Not speaking about human rights, but killing behind curtains
Like some of those politicians

You’ve made us be together once more

Thanks for ending the separation

You’ve infected our bodies, that is nasty

But thanks for cleaning our hearts, this is the best disinfection

Yes, you are a little nasty virus

But thanks for the clarification
