Iranian Music Video Sings the Praises of National Soccer Team

Following are excerpts from an Iranian music video, singing the praises of the national soccer team, which aired on Jaam-e Jam2 TV on June 16, 2006.

A flourishing green rectangle, an arena of ten brave men,

a man like a lion standing firm in a trench on the other side.

The whisper of a feverish search, the sense of hope and unity.

Oh, our national team - may God be with you.

All Iranian eyes are set upon the legs of the lions.

Oh, our men - gallop in memory of those brave ones.

All Iranian eyes are set upon the legs of the lions.

Oh, our men - gallop in memory of those brave ones.

May the prayers of the people guarantee the success of your efforts.

Rekindle the love, the pride, and the cries.

Score goals again in the net of the rivals,

so the world will tremble at the sound of the name of the Iranian team.

All Iranian eyes are set upon the legs of the lions.

Oh, our men - gallop in memory of those brave ones.

All Iranian eyes are set upon the legs of the lions.

Oh, our men - gallop in memory of those brave ones.

Do something that will be engraved in the annals of our times:

Iran for all eternity - Iran forever victorious.

All Iranian eyes are set upon the legs of the lions.

Oh, our men - gallop in memory of those brave ones.

Attack, attack - oh, Iranian team. Score a goal, score a goal, heroic team.

Attack, attack - oh, Iranian team. Score a goal, score a goal, heroic team.

Attack, attack - oh, Iranian team. Score a goal, score a goal, heroic team.

Attack, attack - oh, Iranian team. Score a goal, score a goal, heroic team.
