There's now an unofficial anthem for the protests in Iran.

The song is called Barayyeh.

It's by a 25-year-old singer named Shervin Hajipur.

Barayyeh means because of.

And the lyrics, they talk about why people are protesting.

These things because of dancing in the street, because of the fear of kissing a lover

on the street.

These are things that are banned in Iran.

He sings because of my sister, your sister, our sister, because of changing rotten minds,

because of the shame of an empty pocket.

Because of yearning for a normal life, and as poster porter Miriam Berger explains,

the lyrics come from Iranians' tweets, the ones with the hashtag, Masa Amini, whose

deaths sparked this unrest.

It literally is the words of Iranians about why they are in the streets and why they are

angry and why they feel grief and why they want something more or why they feel for

or why they're hopeful.

The song quickly spread across the country and globe.

Here it racked up millions of views on Instagram.

Hajipur was detained by Iranian authorities.

But despite the risks, this song is still spreading.

Miriam and our colleague Sana Moosey, an Iranian journalist in London, reported about why

people in Iran were so moved by this song.
