Lisa Gerrard Persian Love Song (the Silver Gun)
[the silver-stock gun]
They say your charger is your pal on the day of battle
I say even better is a gun
A cavalryman without a gun is without vigour
A cavalryman is one when he's got a gun
I sold my silver-stock gun
Sewed a Termeh frock for my love
Sent it to her, she returned it to me
My silver-stock gun...
[Termeh is a Persian textile]
[The very last phrase "daad-o-bidaad" is impossible to
translate, it expresses deep regret for something lost]
