about

Lydia Violet's version of the Persian/Armenian lullaby, "Gol Leili," melody written by Iranian treasured vocalist Mahsa Vahdat.

Translation:
"Your lips smile pomegranate seed by seed
Bring on the scale beam, your lips are of a different breed
The grace of a lotus
a dove's feather
Thinner than the petal of a flower
The hope of a mother
The flower that is Leili
The being that is Leili
The flower that is Leili
The being that is Leili"

Recorded and engineered by Michael Lepiere
