Rashid Khan - Iranian Song

Vocals by Kelareh Kabiri, arrangement by Farya Faraji. This is an Iranian folk song said to hail from the Kurmanji Kurdish community of Khorasan, in Iran. Rashid Khan was a military man who served under Nasseredin Shah in the 19th century, and fought the Russian Empire on his orders; he was given the title Shojaodolleh, meaning roughly "the brave one." However, a truce was declared at some point in which a part of Iran in the Caucasus would be given over to the Russians. He was forced under royal pressure to sign the truce, and he died two days later as he was on the way back home; some say he was grief stricken and therefore passed away. Legend says this song arose in his native home in Khorasan, as a lament begun by his wife and his kin.
The arrangement is based on typical features of Iranian folk, using the tanbour, santour and kamancheh as main instruments, all playing the melody in Shur, a mode akin to the Western minor but with a microtonal second interval. The drums are the tombak, playing the typical triple metre rhythm found across all of Iran.
Lyrics in Khorasani Persian:
امروز دو روزه للو فردا سه روزه لو
رشید نیومد للو دلم می‌سوزه لو
وای وای رشید خان سردار کل قوچان
رفتی نگفتی للو یک یاری دارم لو
در شهر غربت للو دلداری دارم لو
وای وای رشید خان سردار کل قوچان
این رخت کِیَه للو رخت یارمه لو
می خوام بشورم للو با آب گلها لو
وای وای رشیدخان سردار کل قوچان
رخت حاکمه للو با چشم بشویم لو
گل بهارمه للو با چشم بشویم لو
وای وای رشید خان سردار کل قوچان
English translation of the lyrics:
Today is two days, tomorrow will be three,
Rashid has not come, my heart burns,
Oh, oh, Rashid Khan, captain of all Ghouchan.
You left, you did not think to yourself, "I have a lover,"
That I'll be leaving in this city, all alone,
Oh, oh, Rashid Khan, captain of all Ghouchan.
Whose clothes are these? These are my lovers'
I want to clean them with the water of flowers
Oh, oh, Rashid Khan, captain of all Ghouchan.
These are the clothes of the captain,
I will clean them with my eyes
Oh, oh, Rashid Khan, captain of all Ghouchan.

Persian music awlays has an epic poetic sound. The music is warm like the desert.

[@FireflowerDancer]

I agree with the first sentence. But I find it a very elevated and cool music, wheras Somalian or Egyptian would to me feel 'warmer.' The instruments of Iranian folk make me think of mountains with snowy peaks, hence that coolness. I do think Farya's mothers' vocals adds a lot of liveliness and warmth to this rendition ❤️

Since I first found this song recently, it has been one of my favourites, so it is a very welcome surprise to see an arrangement by yourself and your mother. I have never known the lyrics nor their theme, but I am not surprised, that it is this sad. It has sounded to me either like it was a sad song, trying to put up a happy venire or a happy song trying to put up a sad venire.

Has a kind of Balkan revolutionary vibe to it, but with a distinct Iranian style.

[@Chevalier.D.Artagnan]

The Kurds of northern Xorāsān were originally people from eastern Anatolia, which is close to the Balkans, if you’re interested you can look up Kurmanji music from Xorāsān, you may find more similarities there

[@Dimitrije_Sukovic]

@@Chevalier.D.Artagnan tbh mate, I think it's just because of centuries of contact with the Greeks and later the Persianate Ottomans

[@Chevalier.D.Artagnan]

@@Dimitrije_Sukovic @.@ what did I just say? I said they came from eastern Anatolia which is close to the balkans, of course they’re gonna have centuries of contact with the Greeks and the “Persianate Ottomans”. I’m not a connoisseur of music history but there’s a video on this channel specifically talking about Greek music, “Why does Greek music sound eastern”, I really liked it and I think you’ll like it too, since it seems you’re, even if a little, interested.

[@Dimitrije_Sukovic]

@@Chevalier.D.Artagnan I was talking about Balkan music; Greeks and Ottomans are the reason Balkan music is similar to this piece, not specifically because the Kurds were close to the Balkans.
