Across the Strait Tang-e Hormuz (feat. Gre-chan)

Meow-Meow Band

(Let them pass)

Raah nemidam

(Open the gate)

Dar ra mibandam

(The sea is free)

Darya khatar ast

(Across the strait)

Tang-e Hormuz

Man in raah ra mibandam

Az tars-e atash

Kashti nagzarad emshab

Ta khatar bekhabad

(What do you guard)

Khak o namoos

(What do you lose)

Solh-e farda

(One wrong word)

Yek kalameh

(One spark in air)

Yek sharareh

(Still a human heart)

Qalb-e ensan

(Beats beneath steel)

Zir-e ahan mizand

(Pass or block)

Boro ya na

(Open or close)

Baz ya basta

(Peace or fire)

Solh ya atash

(Sea or blood)

Darya ya khoon

(Hear the engines)

Seda-ye kashti

(Hear the warning)

Seda-ye khatar

(We are not the storm)

Ma toofan nistim

(We are not the flame)

Ma atash nistim

(Pass the Strait of Hormuz)

Tang-e Hormuz ra negah dar

(Let the dark ships ride)

Kashti nagzarad emshab

(Hand in hand, my brother)

Dast be dast, ey baradar

(Do not turn the tide)

Moj ra bar nagardan

Let them pass

(Raah bedeh)

Do not close it

(Dar ra naband)

What does the sea say

(Aram beman)

What does dawn bring

(Solh-e jahan)

(Pass the line)

Raah bedeh

(Hold the line)

Raah nemidam

(Break the chain)

Dast be dast

(Stop the flame)

Atash nakon

(Pass the Strait of Hormuz)

Tang-e Hormuz ra negah dar

(Let the dark ships ride)

Kashti nagzarad emshab

(Hand in hand, my brother)

Dast be dast, ey baradar

(Do not turn the tide)

Moj ra bar nagardan

    Across the Strait Tang-e Hormuz (feat. Gre-chan)

    Meow-Meow Band

"Across the Strait Tang-e Hormuz" is a Middle Eastern heavy metal track built around a tense call and response between English backing vocals and a romanized Persian lead vocal.

The song turns the conflict of "let them pass" and "I will not" into a ritual-like vocal duel. English lines such as "Let them pass" and "Open the gate" collide with Persian lines such as "Raah nemidam" and "Dar ra mibandam", creating a dramatic pass-or-block theme over the Strait of Hormuz.

Musically, the track combines heavy down-tuned guitars, galloping metal rhythm, fast double kick drums, deep male choir chants, and a dark ocean atmosphere. Persian-inspired melodies, virtuosic tar shredding, rapid santur runs, kamancheh ornaments, oud tremolo, tombak rolls, and daf hits add an intense Middle Eastern identity.

The instrumental sections push the song further into epic metal territory, with neoclassical shred guitar, ultra-fast alternate picking, sweep picking, tapping, and a dramatic duel between electric guitar and Persian tar.

This is a cinematic metal anthem about passage, fear, fire, and the hope that the sea can remain free.
