Tone Damli – Winner of a Losing Game

I didn’t know that we were those
with counted days
Like water they were slipping through my hands
I couldn’t stop the time, I couldn’t stop the race
We reached the finish line with nothing left to chase

Every piece of me is hurting,
Every part of me is screaming out your name,
And maybe I’m the one to blame.
Should have felt it in the way you held me
Should have realized it’s not the same today
but maybe I’m the one to blame
I’m the winner of a losing game
The winner of a losing game

I kept on running for what not to lose my pace
but soon the tears were streaming down my face
The medal that I carry weigh so heavy now
How could I think that you would ever help me through

Every piece of me is hurting,
Every part of me is screaming out your name,
And maybe I’m the one to blame.
Should have felt it in the way you held me
Should have realized it’s not the same today
and maybe I’m the one to blame
I’m the winner of a losing game
The winner of a losing game

The winner of a losing game
The winner of a losing
Winner of a losing
Winner of a losing game

I couldn’t stop the time, I couldn’t stop the race
We reached the finish line with nothing left to chase

Every piece of me is hurting,
Every part of me is screaming out your name,
And maybe I’m the one to blame.
Should have felt it in the way you held me
Should have realized it’s not the same today
and maybe I’m the one to blame
I’m the winner of a losing game
The winner of a losing game

I’m the winner of a losing game
The winner of a losing game
I’m the winner of a losing game
The winner of a losing game
The winner of a losing game
Winner of a losing game
The winner of a losing game

همه صیدها بکردی هله میر[= مهر] بار دیگر
سگ [= عشق و مهر و دوستی و وفا] خویش را رها کن که کند شکار دیگر
همه غوطه‌ها بخوردی همه کارها بکردی
منشین ز پای یک دم که بماند کار دیگر
همه نقدها شمردی به وکیل درسپردی
بشنو از این محاسب عدد و شمار دیگر
تو بسی سمن بران را به کنار درگرفتی
نفسی کنار بگشا بنگر کنار دیگر
خنک آن قماربازی که بباخت آن چه بودش
بنماند هیچش الا هوس قمار دیگر
تو به مرگ و زندگانی هله تا جز او ندانی
نه چو روسبی که هر شب کشد او بیار دیگر
نظرش به سوی هر کس به مثال چشم نرگس
بودش زهر حریفی طرب و خمار دیگر
همه عمر خوار باشد چو بر دو یار باشد
هله تا تو رو نیاری سوی پشت دار دیگر
که اگر بتان چنین‌اند ز شه تو خوشه چینند
نبدست مرغ جان را به جز او مطار دیگر
