Translated lyrics:
Health of King
my homeland O my existence
my passion and ecstasy
appear in the sky
like eternal love
hear my pathetic words
that I'm unanimous with you
all my soul and life
my homeland my homeland my homeland my homeland
hear my pathetic words
that I'm tuner of this grass (singer)
all my soul and life
my homeland my homeland my homeland my homeland
all with the same identity
but with different languages and skin colors
all with the same identity
but with different languages and skin colors
all (people) are happy and blissful and singing
because of the strength of the young Iran
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
2. Imperial Anthem of Iran: Sorud-e Shahanshahi Iran
"Sorud-e Shahanshahi Iran" or "Imperial Salute of Iran" (in Persian: Sorude Šâhanšâhiye Irân) was the national anthem of Iran from 1933 until the Islamic Revolution of 1979, when the monarchy was abolished. The anthem is a chronicle of the exploits of the Pahlavi dynasty.

Ey Iran:
Ey Iran (Persian: ای ایران, “O Iran”) is a famous and popular anthem in Iran. The lyrics were written by Hossein Gol-e-Golab in 1946, the music was composed by Ruhollah Khaleghi, and it was first performed by Gholam Hossein Banan.
Ey Iran is often mistaken for being a present or previous Iranian national anthem. It has only briefly had de facto national anthem status; however, it occupies a place in Iranian popular culture similar to that of Men of Harlech in Wales. It was unofficially used in the transitional period between the national anthem used at the time of the Shah (deposed February, 1979) until the adoption of the national anthem of the Islamic Republic.
