Explanation:
1) Mr. Hossein Mollanazar's response is correct. However, the song should read:
"bi to bar rooye labanam [same as labhayam but rhymes better]
2) The second stanza is: "ghoncheh pazhmordeh gashteh," [The bud or blossom withered.]
3) The song was sung by Mr. Vigen, known as the "King of the Iranian Jazz."
