Info about the song:
Ey Iran (Persian: ای ایران, [ʔej ʔiːˈɾɒːn]) is an Iranian nationalist song that is regarded by some the country's unofficial national anthem. The music was composed by Ruhollah Khaleghi, and the lyrics were written by Hossein Gol-e-Golab.
"Ey Irān" was composed in 1944 in Tehran. The lyrics were written by Hossein Gol-e-Golab, and the music was composed by Ruhollah Khaleqi. The song was first performed and recorded by the classical Persian music singer Gholam-Hossein Banan.
Gol-e-Golab was inspired to write the song by his patriotism. He was quoted as saying: "In 1944, the footsteps of the invading armies in the streets were enough to rattle any patriot and inspired me to write this anthem. Professor Ruhollâh Kâleqi wrote the music and despite all the political opposition, it found its way into the heart and soul of the people."
For decades, many groups and singers have performed "Ey Irân". Among the most popular renditions is a 1991 version arranged for voice, choir and orchestra by Golnuš Xāleqi, the daughter of Ruhollâh Kâleqi. In this version, the vocal soloists were Rashid Vatandust and Esfandiar Gharabaghi.
