Renowned poet Robert Frost once said, “Love is an irresistible desire to be irresistibly desired.” True love is a feeling that every human being aspires, which is why it is the most popular topic in music. This week’s Yadegari is dedicated to one of the most popular romantic songs, Aref’s ‘Soltane Ghalbha’.

Aref was born on August 10, 1941 in Miyaneh, Iran. He became legendary for his romantic lyrics and was one of the most popular singers of his time. Several of his songs, including ‘Soltane Ghalbha’ were featured in movies in the 1960’s and 1970’s. ‘Soltane Ghalbha’ is arguably Aref’s most popular song. You can watch Aref and Leila Forouhar perform this song live below. The full song can be purchased here.
