Persian (Farsi) term or phrase: دنیا بگو بهش، مگه گوش میکنه
Greetings,

There is a arguing between two man. One tries to persuade the other to accept what he says, but
the second keep telling his own words. So the first guy tell him "دنیا بگو بهش، مگه گوش میکنه" in response.
Note: "دنیا" here it doesn't mean the world or the universe and here it refers to doing sth repeatedly.

Thanks

even after my words of persuation, you still go your (own) way


Explanation:
"Go one's (own) way" mean گوش کسی بدهکار نبودن. You may also change "you" to "s/he" based on the Persian pronoun but as you know this way of pointing to a second person by using a third person pronoun is very common in Persian.
