Hani Mojtahedy, An Improvisation - English Translation

English translation of Hani Mojtahedy's Kurdish-Sorani song "An Improvisation." A six-stanza work exploring themes of pain, identity, and mortality.

Singer: Hani Mojtahedy Translation: Bedel Boseli Guitar: Majid Kazemi Song Title: An Improvisation Poet: Ahmad Shamloo

Each line presents a contrast between external conditions and inner identity, posing paradoxes such as "living the weariness of a pain that is not mine" and "living with a name that is not mine." The final stanza addresses mortality and existential experience.
