DESCRIPTION:
"Zolaikha, Pt. II" a song about spreading love and teaching our children how to love. In Persian culture, Zolaikha is the name of a girl similar to Juliet. A positive song about the beauty of life and what has been given to us.

Aldoush & the Human Exchange create an exotic new sound on their album "The Child Within", combining ancient Iranian folk music with Persian lyrics written in contemporary poetic forms by Koorosh Angali. Their arrangements pass through many different genres, blending traditional Iranian classical folk melodies and rhythms with Western harmonies rooted in jazz and classical styles.

The result is a sound that contains both the raw effervescence of true Iranian village music and the uncanny communication found in a well rehearsed jazz band. Never before has Persian music been brought to the West with such creativity and innovation- winner of the San Francisco Weekly 1993 Wammies Award for best World Music album of the year, this music is a must for multiculturalists and world music enthusiasts alike. Listen and be enchanted.

Lyrics:
آفتاب داره سر می زنه رو خونه های کاه گلی
خورشید خانم میاد بیرون با پیرهن گل گلی
رنگ طلایی میپاشن به سینه کوه و دشت
غرق نفس میشه دلا میرن به سیرو گلگشت

زلیخا ای زلیخا ببین چه صبح قشنگه
دست خدا ببین پر ازگلای رنگ وارنگه

بیا بریم پیش خدا گلای عشق بچینیم
تو صورت پاک خدا فردامونو ببینیم
هزار سبد گل بیاریم میون ده بپا شیم
به بچها از عشق بگیم قصه گوی ده باشیم

ز روزخلقتم جز قصه ای من نه بشنیدم
از این گردون بی دم
کنون دانم حقیقت در خود ماست
حقیقت نیست جز اندیشه و تن ای داد بیداد

خورشید داره رنگ می پاشه رو زلفای گندما
انگار که پنجه میندازه تو زلفای مردما

نسیم که بوسه میزنه بصورت بچها
آدما کورنش میکنن به حرمت بچها

زلیخا ای زلیخا ببین چه صبح قشنگه
دست خدا ببین پر از گلای رنگ وارنگه

بیا بریم پیش خدا گلای عشق بچینیم
تو صورت پاک خدا فردامونو ببینیم
هزار سبد گل بیاریم میون ده بپاشیم
به بچها از عشق بگیم قصه گوی ده باشیم
