My Chickens

Hens, chicken, eggs.
There's only one question without an answer,
Which came first, the egg or the chicken?
I don't care if it's warm or hot.
I'm not interested in these questions.
Everybody says that.
There are no clouds in the sky in summer days,
My chickens have wings.

My beautiful chickens,
Cheep-cheep, my chickens
Cheep-cheep-cheep-cheep, my chickens
My beautiful chickens,
Silken-haired chickens.

One love, one heart, let's get together and feel alright.

I keep my cheep-cheep chickens in my yard,
Everyday I say magic words to them.
The rooster crows, everybody wakes up in the morning.
Hens dance and chickens dance hop-stop,
I count my chickens in autumn.
I love them very much, I never hurt them.
I feed them, I take care of them every day.
I call them saying "cheep-cheep, my chickens, cheep-cheep."

My beautiful chickens,
Cheep-cheep, my chickens
Cheep-cheep-cheep-cheep, my chickens
My beautiful chickens,
Silken-haired chickens.

No woman, no cry. No woman, no cry!

I have a car, I have a house, I have money.
I owe my chickens for all this.
If I have any problem, I will sell them,
I will solve my problems and buy them (chickens) again.
I am not afraid of crisis nor of inflation.
I have more cheep-cheep chickens day by day,
One million, hundred thousand, thousands of million,
Chicken broth is good for kids.

I wish you would grow up faster and be as big as your mom,
I wish you grow up faster and be as big as your mom,
Oh, my chickens!
Oh my chickens!
Cheep-cheep, my chickens
Cheep-cheep-cheep-cheep, my chickens
My beautiful chickens,
Silken-haired chickens.

One love, one heart, let's get together and woman, no cry!

They have wings, but can't fly.
My chickens don't make irreverent jokes,
Because they're polite and courteous.
They hate foxes and cats now,
Time will come and chickens will grow up,
Each one of them will become a hen and rooster.
Children, this is the end of the chicken story,
Every story has truth and it's for you.

You know this, know this, you have to know this,
You should have chicken broth, broth, broth.
You should get away from of incubator chickens,
You should value our national chickens,
You should paint and then crack eggs on Novruz.
You know this, know this, you have to know this.
