🌟 About the Title “Soghati” / «سوغاتی»
The word “Soghati” translates to “Souvenir” in Persian — a token of memory, love, longing. The lyrics speak of footsteps arriving from far roads, the heart waiting, love as a journey, and the dust on a beloved’s garment as the most cherished memento.

In this jazz reinterpretation, that sense of memory and longing becomes even more ambient and meditative: the piano’s gentle sighs, soft brush drums, and warm harmonic layers evoke a dreamlike nostalgia — a “souvenir” not just of love, but of time, place, and memory.
