Marshmello continues his global takeover, unleashing an ambitious new collaboration with Iranian pop sensation Arash in their latest single, “Lavandia.”
The song draws Persian influence for its sounds, rhythm, textures, and of course, language, while also working in that Mello flair. Arash’s vocals move the track forward, seemingly effortlessly, as the two find a distinct groove together and deliver a sure hit.
Just as epic as the collab itself, the official music video follows Mello and Arash though a vibrant display of culture and choreographed dance. Within a couple days, “Lavandia” is already creeping up on 1 million plays on YouTube — watch below!

Lyrics (and English Translation)
Intro ( Chorus )
Nafase mani bodo bia Ay Ay Ay Ay
Midooni ke kheili Eshghia Ay Ay Ay Ay
Ey joon Cheghade Lavandia
Khodetam midooni khoobia Ay Ay Ay Ay
You’re my addiction, come little closer Ay Ay Ay Ay
You know that you’re all that Ay Ay Ay Ay
God damn you’re so hot
You know you’ve got it Ay Ay Ay Ay
Verse 1
Oon male khodame, har ja miram dorame
Ake ji jigarame, tame labesh rooie labame
Bia bede baghalo, Pishe man bemoono dar naro
Tekoon midi badano, divoone kardi to hamaro
She is mine, wherever I look she is by my side
She is my girl, the taste of her lips is killing me
Come closer and never let go
They way you move makes everyone go crazy
Chorus 1

Verse 2
Oon male khodame, har ja miram dorame
Be kesi pa nemide, bedoone man jai nemire
Cheshaie to padidan, jai mese oono nadidam
Are bato mimoonam, Midooni ke kholo divoonam
She is mine, wherever I look she is by my side
She is hard to get, but she doesn’t fool around
Your eyes are magic, unlike anything I’ve ever seen
I’ll always be yours, you know I’m crazy for you

Doost dari mano cheshat mige
To male khodam shodi dige
Delam be dele to nazdike
Khodetam midooni khoobia Ay Ay Ay Ay
Your eyes reveal your love for me
It’s me and you forever
I’ll always be by your side
You know that you’re all that Ay Ay Ay Ay
