Persian (Farsi) term or phrase: یکبار برای همیشه
Hi,

Please, what is the usual meaning of یکبار برای همیشه?

Here is a Google search result:
http://www.google.co.uk/search?q=یکبار برای همیشه&rls=com.mi...

As I say, I'm looking for the usual meaning, which is why I haven't given specific context.

Best,

Simon
