Azerbaijan: A Timeless Presence (Live)
Azerbaijan: A Timeless Presence is a breathtaking musical odyssey through a rich
artistic and cultural heritage. The music was composed, arranged, and directed by Sami Yusuf
for the Opening Ceremony of the 43rd Session of the UNESCO World Heritage Committee
in Baku on June 30, 2019. The performance was directed by the renowned creative director Andrei Boltenko.
This newly created cultural treasure comprises nine themes; each theme
expresses an aspect of the ethos of Azerbaijan from the land’s earliest
inhabitants some twenty thousand years ago to its contemporary realities and aspirations.
With fifty-seven highly skilled musicians under his direction,
Sami Yusuf displays his mastery of a complex musical language while
staying true to the traditional sounds of the region. The instruments
used (except the piano) are traditional instruments from the region including the tar,
an instrument so significant that it is said to have taken a role in shaping
the cultural identity of Azerbaijanis; the kamancha, the stringed instrument related to the Byzantine
lyra and European violin family; and the balaban, a double-reed ancient wind instrument with a plaintive, solemn sound.
Azerbaijan: A Timeless Presence mesmerises with its dazzling musical range
from the subtle to the powerful and from the evocative to the majestic.
It is the soundscape of a region that displays an underlying universality.
These inspired compositions by this renowned musician evoke powerful emotional responses in listeners
no matter their cultural origin.

LYRICS
Nightshade blooming in my garden
Love I found on my way
Taking root when all was darkened
Scarred in me always
Shine, shine, shine on my dark nights
Shine a light on me
I’ve been wandering all my life and
Now I see the land
In my mornings, waves have taken
What I thought was there
I left you in time forsaken
(With) flowers in your hair
Shine, shine, shine on my dark nights
Shine a light on me
I’ve been wandering all my life and
Now I see the land

A Dancing Heart – Sami Yusuf
The lyrics of this song come from the poetry of the 14th century mystical poet Nasimi, who was one of the first literary figures to compose in Azerbaijani. The composer sets an ecstatic mood in this new piece in Shur mugham that evokes Sufi ceremonies through high-energy percussion and dazzling avaz sections. The musical narrative is majestic, powerful, and intensely beautiful.

I cannot be contained
Həm sədəfəm, həm inciyəm, həşrü sirat əsinciyəm,
I am the shell, I am the kernel,
I am the upholder of the Doomsday and Suspender of the Bridge*****
Bunca qumaşü rəxt ilə mən bu dükana sığmazam.
So you make a robe out of this cloth for such a day,
For I will not be contained in your store,
Şəhd ilə həm şəkər mənəm, şəms mənəm, qəmər mənəm,
I am the sugar, I am the honey, I am the Sun, I am the Moon,
Ruhi-rəvan bağışlaram, ruhi-rəvana sığmazam.
I bestow spirit to all things, But I will not be contained in spirit
Məndə sığar iki cahan, mən bu cahana sığmazam,
The two worlds are contained in Me,
But I will not be contained in these worlds
Gövhəri-laməkan mənəm, kövnü məkana sığmazam
I am the Treasure of no abode,
I cannot be contained in being or in the engendered world
Mən bu cahana sığmazam
I will not be contained in these worlds

The vocal and instrumental drones of this meditative piece in Shustar mugham resonate with echoes of Indian rags
and Middle East maqams. Featuring the vibrant voice of Sami Yusuf, its aim is to immerse the
listener’s spirit in contemplation.
Ateshgah, The Fire Temple, is an 18th century structure in Baku that speaks of the land’s Zoroastrian past.

The opening sounds of this dramatic new composition by Sami Yusuf carry
the eternal message of wind and stones, with anchoring vocalization by Emin Mammadov.
Shur mugham elements are then introduced through the astonishing voice of Kanan Bayramli.
The sweeping melody conveys the majesty of place and the weight of time.
Rising above the Caspian Sea, Gobustan’s boulders contain six thousand ancient stone carvings,
messages left by our human ancestors over twenty thousand years ago.
They speak to us not just of another time, but of another way of being.
One remarkable feature of Gobustan are its stone drums, an ancient means of communicating
across distance (like a Stone Age text message).
The sound of these stone drums are incorporated into this extraordinary piece.

‘Shirvanshah’s Palace’, a new instrumental work from Sami Yusuf, features a 57-member
orchestra and dazzling solos on oud, kamanche, tar and balaban.
The musical narrative is majestic, powerful and intensely beautiful.
This piece is performed in Shur mugham [Əbu Əta], evoking an ecstatic mood that
echoes the Sufi ceremony of remembrance.
Although the sub-mode Əbu Əta (Or Abū ’Atā) is seldom used in recent decades,
it has been part of the Azerbaijani mugham system for centuries. The composer has chosen
to honor this particular traditional expression here, and in doing so seeks
to contribute to the revival of this complex musical language.
Shirvanshah’s Palace is a 15th century complex in Baku where the revered philosopher and sage,
Seyid Yahya Bakuvi, taught and prayed and where his tomb is located.
Performed live at the Opening Ceremony of the 43rd World Heritage Committee held in Baku,
Azerbaijan on 30th June, 2019.

What do you see?
Tell me what do you taste?
Tell me what do you hear
when I whisper your name?
You see through my eyes
and turned me away
In madness you’d spiral
if I did the same
Oh my love I’m waiting
Oh my love I’m calling
Oh my love I’m yearning

Lyrics:
My best times
Were when I felt close to you
But everything fell apart
The moment I strayed from you
In each smile
In every single sigh
Every minute detail
Traces of you are found there
Wherever you are I’ll find you
Cause you’re the one I turn to
Wherever you be I’ll be with you
Cause you’re the one my heart is to
I need you
To see your smile
I would pass every trial
Desperately I await
For the day when I’m by your side
Wherever you are I’ll find you
Cause you’re the one I turn to
Wherever you are I’ll follow you
Cause you’re the one I turn to
Wherever you be I’ll be with you
Cause you’re the one my love is to
My love is to
In every minute detail,
Traces of u are found there,
In every step that I take,
My longing becomes so clear…
I’ll follow you anywhere,
I’ll overcome every fear,
Anything just to be near, To be near.
To be near.
Wherever you may be
I’ll follow till I see
In my heart you will be
Your love is all I need
In every single smile
Every single sigh
Every minute detail
Traces of you are there
Wherever you may be
I will search till we meet
In my heart you will be
Your love is all I need
Wherever you may be

“By My Side” Lyrics:-
Sometimes I can’t see
Where I’m supposed to go
Sometimes I speed up,
When I should take it slow
But through all my hard times
When I lose my way
You’re concealing my mistakes, yeah!
Pre-Chorus:
I know You’re always by my side
Never turning out Your light
When I need You most Your stars will shine
Chorus:
When I’m out there in the darkest place
Worn and tired
I can still see You illuminate
All my skies
When it feels like I’ve fallen too far from You
There You, there You, there You are
Guiding me through
Whenever I feel down
You can lift me up
Turning my life around
With Your love
No matter how rough it gets
I can wear a smile
‘Cause Your mercy never dries
I know You’re always by my side
Never turning out Your light
When I need You most Your stars will shine
PRE-CHORUS & CHORUS
Ain’t nobody, no no nobody
That knows me like You do
Ain’t nobody who makes me feel this way
Got no worries, no no worries
About anything
Cause I know You’re always there, oh

We are all full of sins today,
We have gone astray from the right way,
If we want Allah’s forgiveness,
Then we must say Ya Rasulullah.
The Ummah is split in so many ways,
Everywhere there is only chaos and pain,
If we want to revive the golden days,
Then we must love the Prophet again.
Our Prophet is the best of man,
He is the Master of us all,
We are Muslims because of Him,
For He is the only link to God.
He ruled all the corners of the world,
Yet there wasn’t a single drop of blood,
His message is only love and peace,
And it lives on in our hearts today,

Lyrics:
(Translation and transliteration):
Zehaal-e-miskeen makun taghaaful, Daraye naina banaye battiyan.
Do not overlook my misery, by blandishing your eyes and weaving tales,
Ke taab-e-hijran nadaaramay jaan, Na leho kaahe lagaaye chattiyan.
My patience has over-brimmed, O sweetheart!
why do you not take me to your bosom.
Shabaan-e-hijraan daraaz chuuzulf, Woroz-e-waslatu cho umr koutaah.
Long like curls in the night of separation short like life on the day of
our union.
Sakhi piya ko jo maina dekhun, To kaise kaatun andheri rattiyan.
My dear, how will I pass the dark dungeon night without your face
before.
Yakayakaz dil do chashm-e-jaadu, Basadfarepham beburd taskeen.
Suddenly, using a thousand tricks the enchanting eyes robbed me of my tranquil mind.
Kisay padi hai jo ja sunaaye, Piyare pee ko hamari battiyan,
Who would care to go and report this matter to my darling.
Chushamma sozan chuzarra hairaan, zamehere aapme
baghashtamaakhir
Tossed and bewildered, like a flickering candle, I roam about in the
fire of love.
Naneend naina nayang chainaa, Nayaap aayen nabhejen pattiyan,
Sleepless eyes, restless body, neither comes she, nor any message.

WHATEVER IT’LL TAKE, TO SEE YOUR SMILE
I KNOW THAT I DON’T DESERVE YOU
AND MY LIFE HAS MEANING ‘CAUSE OF YOU
GIVE IT ALL AWAY TO SEE YOUR SMILE
I KNOW THAT I DON’T DESERVE YOU
EVERY SONG I SING HAS ALWAYS BEEN FOR YOU
GIVE IT ALL AWAY, TO SEE YOUR SMILE
SIGHT OF YOUR SMILE
SO PURE AND WIDE
AS YOU WELCOME ME BACK INTO YOUR ARMS
TELL ME I’VE WRONGED BUT IT’S ALRIGHT, IT’S ALRIGHT
THE ONLY THING I NEED IN LIFE IS YOU
SO LOST AND FRUSTRATED FAR FROM YOU
YOUR LOVE IS WHAT MAKES IT ALL WORTHWHILE
GIVE EVERYTHING AWAY, ANYTHING FOR YOUR SMILE
WHEN I’M AWAY
FAR FROM YOUR SIDE
I WATCH THE CLOUDS
COME AND GO IN THE COLD NIGHT SKY
THEY START TO PLAY
THEY COME TO LIFE
AND FROM THE DARK THE MOON APPEARS
JUST LIKE YOUR SMILE SHE SHINES HER LIGHT
I KNOW THAT I DON’T DESERVE YOU
AND MY LIFE HAS MEANING ‘CAUSE OF YOU
GIVE IT ALL AWAY TO SEE YOUR SMILE
I KNOW THAT I DON’T DESERVE YOU
EVERY SONG I SING HAS ALWAYS BEEN FOR YOU
GIVE IT ALL AWAY, TO SEE YOUR SMILE
TO SEE YOU SMILE
GIVE IT ALL AWAY

I KNOW THAT I DON’T DESERVE YOU

Bardh e Zi
Hape zemrën tënde t’paster
Jetën plotë ngjyra jeto
Atë që Zoti t’ka dhuruar
Mos e nënvlerso
Ti ke më shumë seç’ meriton
Prapë i uritur je
Do ngopesh vetëm at’herë
Kur t’mbulojnë me dhe
JETA S’ËSHTË BARDH E ZI
SIÇ E SHEH TI
SHIH GJITHNJË ME ZEMËR
JO VETËM ME SY
Për cfarë je kokëulur
Sillesh si i mjerë
Kjo botë ska të dytë
Jetohet vetëm njëherë
Pikë shprese nga shpirti yt
Të pikoj në jetë
Të ka fal kurdoherë

Azerbaijan: A Timeless Presence (Live) – Sami Yusuf
DESCRIPTION:
Sami Yusuf’s composition ‘The Fire Within’ evokes the flame of love
that burns in the hearts of seekers everywhere.
This rich musical tapestry weaves together mystical strands of music and poetry
as it moves seamlessly from the aeolian sound of European choral music
to Andalusian modes to Middle Eastern scales.
Here we hear the voice of each tradition clearly articulated
as in an intricate conversation with one another.
Layer upon layer of melodies and rhythms serve to clarify the composer’s vision
and to lead the listener inward to a place of knowing beyond words.
Lyrics are drawn from mystical poets: Kaygusuz Abdal (Turkish lyrics),
Hildegard von Bingen (Latin lyrics),
Mansur ibn al-Hallaj and Abu al-Hasan al-Shushtari (Arabic lyrics).
Performed by Cappella Amsterdam, The Amsterdam Andalusian Orchestra,
and Sami Yusuf’s ensemble.

I’m about to lose the battle and cross the line
I’m about to make another mistake
And even though I try to stay away
everything around me keeps dragging me in
I can’t help thinking to myself what if my time would end today, today, today
Can I gaurantee that I will get another chance
before it’s too late, too late, too late
Forgive me
My heart is so full of regret
Forgive me
Now is the right time for me to repent, repent, repent
Am I out of my mind?
What did I do?
Oh, I feel so bad
And everytime I try to start all over again
my shame comes back to haunt me
I’m trying hard to walk away but temptation is surrounding me, surrounding me
I wish that I could find the strength to change my life
before it’s too late, too late, too late
Forgive me
My heart is so full of regret
Forgive me
Now is the right time for me to repent, repent, repent
I know, Oh Allah, you’re the most forgiving
And that you’ve promised to always be there
when I call upon you
So now I’m standing here ashamed of
all the mistakes I’ve committed
Please don’t turn me away and hear my prayer
when I ask you to
Forgive me
My heart is so full of regret
Forgive me
Now is the right time for me to repent

Tuntunku Kepadamu Lyrics :
Kusadari, engkau sanggup
Mengambil kembali karunia-Mu
Dan kucoba, selalu mengingat
Takkan sia-siakan segalanya
Karena, suatu hari
Semua akan tiada lagi
Dan di akhir hayat kumohon
Kau ridho padaku
Chorus:
Allah, Ya Allah
Tuntunku ‘tuk tiba di Jannah-Mu
Ya Allah, Ya Allah
Jangan jauh dariku kudamba cahaya-Mu
Bersamamu kuingin dekat
Dekat dengan-Mu sepanjang usia
Ya Allah, Oh Allah!
Dampingi langkahku
Kusadari, kadang kulupa
Mungkin ini nafasku yang terakhir
Ampuni kurangnya syukurku
Maafkan kuragu kasih-Mu
Nanti, suatu hari
Saat duniaku usai berakhir
Di akhir hayat kumohon
Kau ridho padaku

Hari berganti
Kuyakin waktuku kian singkat
Tuhanku, biarku genggam dunia ini
Tanpa mencintainya
Karena ku kan segera pergi
Karena ku kan segera pergi

Lyrics:
Blessed is your face
Blessed is your name
My beloved
Blessed is your smile
Which makes my soul want to fly
My beloved
All the nights
And all the times
That you cared for me
But I never realised it
And now it’s too late
Forgive me
Now I’m alone filled with so much shame
For all the years I caused you pain
If only I could sleep in your arms again
Mother I’m lost without you
You were the sun that brightened my day
Now who’s going to wipe my tears away
If only I knew what I know today
Mother I’m lost without you
Turkish:
Ben derdimi kime söyleyeyim
Sensiz ana
Senin kadrini hic bilemedim ben
Aziz ana
Resul buyurdu;
Cennet analarin ayaklari altinda
Senin hayalin aklimda,
ruhumda, ruyalarimda
Sen gittiginde canim gitti,
Ayrilik bir yaman dertti,
Dunya bana cefa etti,
Benim aziz anam
Aglarim ben bulut gibi,
Dilimdesin sarki gibi,
Gunahlarim derin derin
Hakkini helal et ana
To whom will I tell my sorrow
in your absence, mother?
I didn’t know your real value, my beloved mother
The Messenger (pbuh) said
“Paradise is under the mothers’ feet”
Your image is in my heart, my soul, and my dreams
When you left, my soul left
Our separation was painful
The world gave me pain
and sorrow my beloved mother
I cry like a cloud
You are like a song on my tongue
I’ve wronged you countless times
Forgive me mother

O Allah I am in need of You
طالما ما زالت بي صحة، طالما ما زال بي نفَس
As long as I am healthy, as long as I’m alive
اهدني سبيل الرشاد
Guide me to the path of guidance
فإني لدينك مُحِبّ

ينطق لساني “استغفرالله”
My tongue utters “Astaghfirullah” (I seek Allah’s forgiveness)
مع أسمائك الحسنى
Along with the Most Beautiful 99 Names
الحمد لله، يا ربي
Alhamdu lillah (Praise be to Allah), my Lord
أدعو أن لا تغيب هذه الكلمات عن لساني أبدًا
May these words never leave my tongue
في الدنيا وفي الآخرة
In this world and in the hearafter
اغمرني برحمتك
Please have mercy on me
افتح لي باب التوبة
Open the door of repentance to me
وارزقني الفردوس الأعلى
And grant me the highest rank in Paradise (Firdaws)
في الدنيا وفي الآخرة
In this world and in the hearafter
اغمرني برحمتك
Please have mercy on me
افتح لي باب التوبة
Open the door of repentance to me
وارزقني الفردوس الأعلى
And grant me the highest rank in Paradise (Firdaws)
لا أرغب فى لذات الدنيا الزائفة
I do not want to be deceived by the pleasures of this world
فاقبل دعائي يا غفور يا رحيم
Accept my worship O Most-Forgiving, Most-Merciful
فالدنيا بدونك ماهي إلا قبر مظلم
Without You the world is like a dark grave
فاقبل دعائي يا غفور يا رحيم
Accept my worship O Most-Forgiving, Most-Merciful
أتلو القرآن الكريم
I recite the Holy Quran
وأسجد لك أنت وحدك
I bow down for You alone
كي أنال رضاك
For You to be pleased with me
يوم أغادر هذه الدنيا
For that day when I will leave this world
