Lyrics
Lyrics by Hafez (translation):
My heart is captivated by a gypsy-like beauty, stirringly seductive,
With deceitful promises, a killer disposition, and a colorful charm.
I will take the thought of your beauty mark with me to the grave,
So that my dust may be infused with the fragrance of your beauty.

Delband is an exciting, emerging London-based band of musicians from Iran, Italy and France who discovered each other’s diverse talents at a refugee centre in London. They celebrate unity through music.
Delband blends together Eastern and Middle-Eastern inspired melodies with even and odd rhythms, sometimes nodding at prog rock, folk and even a little waltz.
