Lyric

تنگه هرمز

آتش، دود، دریا

باید بگذریم

باید زنده بمانیم

On the deck before the dawn, the smell of oil and salt

A white line of course extends into the black sea

To the north lies Bandar Abbas, its piers dimly gleaming

To the south, the shadow of Musandam, rocky walls closing like a throat

The long shadow of Qeshm, while Larak sinks in silence

Even the red soil of Hormuz is stained the color of blood

Is the radar light a prayer, or a sign that death is near

What lies in this hull below is the oil of hope

The lights of distant cities, the warmth of someone’s morning

We will not go down here

Cross it through, the Strait of Hormuz

Break through the tears of gunfire with our souls

Never turn back, never bow down

Let the whistle of life ring out upon the waves

Cross it through, this throat of the sea

Turn the salt of tears into steel

We carry the fire, we carry the dawn

A sea lane that keeps hope alive till we return

To starboard lies the distant exit leading to the Gulf of Oman

On the dark horizon to port, lines of fire tear through the sea

A single route to survive appears, even evasion is denied

The slightest carelessness will turn this strait into a grave marker

The faint shadow of Hengam, wavering like a mirage

With death-defying resolve, the captain cries out

“Hold the line! Hold the course!”

The world will speak of it coldly, that a single ship has sunk

But it is our hands that must carry this night across

In sweat-soaked work clothes, with trembling fingers we turn the helm

Still go forward, keep moving forward

Cross it through, the Strait of Hormuz

Take the roaring wrath of the sea upon our bodies

Never surrender, never drift away

Raise an unbroken vow into the wind

Cross it through, the wound of this world

This ship still carries hope

We carry the fire, we carry the dawn

Until we reach tomorrow, we will never kneel

Whose justice set this sea ablaze

Whose design carved life away

Mothers are waiting, children still dream

No flag can wash this blood from the sea

ما فقط می‌خواهیم عبور کنیم

ما فقط می‌خواهیم زنده بمانیم

Even so, the morning sun still waits beyond the sea

Then I will never let go of this helm

Bandar Abbas

Qeshm... Larak... Hormuz

We are still alive

Cross it through, the Strait of Hormuz

From the Persian Gulf to the Gulf of Oman

Through smoke and flame, through fear and pain

Break through this line right now

Cross it through, this war-torn sea

Human hearts cannot end in hatred alone

We carry the fire, we carry the dawn

Beyond the night, beyond the night

Cross it through, cross it through

While this life is still singing

بگذریم

زنده بمانیم

We crossed the strait

Live... and cross it through
