Abjeez
Meet the Abjeez – slang for sisters.
Thanks Sophia for forwarding the link in the first place. Here is a video: ‘Eddeeaa‘, pretension. Late night music with wacky Iranian girls!
Video at youtube or at Abjeez homepage
Pretension, pretension, god I’ve had enough, too much pretension
Enough already, too much pretension
Nervous contacts, squabble and altercation
Enough already, too much pretension
Excessive amity, improper intrusions
Peculiar affections,
Natural favors – excessive expectations
Assorted bizarre sacrifices, huge but strained services
Pretension, pretension, god I’ve had enough, too much pretension …
Enough already, too much pretension
Nervous contacts, squabble and altercation
Enough already, too much pretension
Gratuitous pontifications, sharp but reckless decisions [ … ]
Sage for a day, absolute Moslem the day after
Zoroastrian fervor … No faith and conviction the next
In accord with strangers
But with kin: litigant, stern and strict
More Iranian pop music: Kiosk, dailiness – O-hum singing Hafez

I wonder what in the heck they’re singing…. Cute video.
Jeebus. I wasn’t afraid of feminism before, but now I’m absolutely terrified. If the unibrow is making a come back that’s going to put me off the movement entirely. Body hair is so … comment dire ? …. French!
I’d vote for lipstick on the sisters in black though. As long as their still going to be sex after the revolution, I’m generally down with the principles of feminism. And I really don’t mind the idea of emasculation in many cases. I just don’t want to be there when it happens.
Sorry to get back to you late, look like you got it working! Good day.
Thx bookstamper
Thanks for helping with my edumacation, Homey. You know it ain’t easy here in the home of the slave – er uhm brave – what with uni rates being what they are.
It took me a while to get here, but I love it and have hung it on the wall at my lair as well.
As long as anything is wacky! It’s good for me
I’ll add a translation of the lyrics later today!
I’m still looking for it!
Thanks Homeyra
From the comment I left you at the Lair:
To my readers:
Zoroastrian: a Persian religion founded in the sixth century B.C. by the prophet Zoroaster, promulgated in the Avesta [sacred writings of Zoroastrianism], and characterized by worship of a supreme god Ahura Mazda [deity of goodness and light] who requires good deeds for help in his cosmic struggle against the evil spirit Ahriman [spirit of darkness and evil].
Fundamentally not much different than modern religions.
So why can’t we all just get along regardless of what names we give our gods and devils?
I must be thinking too simplistically or something.
I know what you mean about the translators. I used Babelfish one time to translate German to English. While the words were well translated, the sentence structure was all screwed up. It made for some hilarious reading.
Thanks for the info BB2. There is also a previous post with more about the subject.
This is a difficult text to translate, as in Persian, it is sort of a fluid text but in English it sounds rather constraint. But it’ll give an idea about all the noise of the wacky Iranians!
