the next person who makes a thread like this...
im sorry, u probably didnt kno, but there have been way too many posts in the past few months asking this same exact question, and the "who is death on two legs dedicated to" question is overasked as well
I recently made contact with a professor at UCLA, Dr. Hossein Ziai, who teaches Iranian and various other subjects, including ancient Persian literature. Dr. Ziai is fluent in Persian and familiar with its many dialects and, sadly, has informed me that the lyrics of Mustapha mean nearly nothing. I began by sending him the common transliteration of the song's lyrics, to which he replied "I cannot make it out and will need more information. It may be a Kurdish dialect." Then, unabashed, I sent him a file of the song itself. After listening, he replied, "It sounds mostly like gibberish, although some words are correct for a Persian usage setting." It seems, as some fans suspected, that Fred was in fact just toying around with us, knowing enough Persian and Arabic to tease us, without really meaning anything.
Well, I think it means something. I mean, come on, look at the Smurfs. While it seems to us that they use the word "smurf" to substitute in place of many other possible verbs, adverbs, pronouns, etc, it makes perfect sense to them. Maybe this professor is just so shocked by the profound wisdom that may be contained in Mustapha that he's not going to tell anyone.
Well, thanks to Serry for the lyrics, but the only thing I could translate for you is the 'Aleikum Salaam' at the end, which means 'goodbye.' Ha, that was seriously useless. It all just sounds like gibberish to me. Or some kind of prayer. Eep, I will quickly jump off this subject.
