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.

Azerbaijan: A Timeless Presence (Live) – Sami Yusuf
أناشيد الألبوم
‘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.

Shirvanshah’s Palace – Sami Yusuf
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.

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.

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

Girdim eşqin dəryasına, gəmim dolmadı,
Gənc yaşımda səni sevdim, mənim olmadın yar,
Gənc yaşımda səni sevdim, mənim olmadın.
Gəl, gəl, gəl, gözəlim, gəl,
Sevirəm səni.
Gəl, gəl, gəl, gözəlim, gəl,
Sevirəm səni.
Əgər qismətim olarsan,
Alaram səni.
Əgər qismətim olarsan,
Olaram sənin ah yar yar
Əgər qismətim olarsan,
Olaram sənin ah yar yar
Əgər qismətim olarsan,

You, you’re not aware
That we’re aware
Of your despair
Don’t show your tears
To your oppressor
Don’t show your tears
Try not to cry little one
You’re not alone
I’ll stand by you
Try not to cry little one
My heart is your stone
I’ll throw with you
‘Ayn Jalut where David slew Goliath
This very same place that we be at
Passing through the sands of times
This land’s been the victim of countless crimes
From Crusaders and Mongols
to the present aggression
Then the Franks, now even a crueller oppression
If these walls could speak,
imagine what would they say
For me in this path that I walk on
there’s only one way
Bullets may kill, bones may break
Still I throw stones like David before me and I say
You, you’re not aware
That we’re aware
Of your despair
Your nightmares will end
This I promise, I promise
No llores, no pierdas la fe
La sed la calma el que haze
Agua de la arena
Y tu que te levantas con orgullo entre las piedras
Haz hecho mares de este polvo
Don’t cry, don’t lose faith
The one who made water come out of the sand
Is the one who quenches the thirst
And you who rise proud from between the stones
Have made oceans from this dust
I throw stones at my eyes
’cause for way too long they’ve been dry
Plus they see what they shouldn’t from oppressed babies to thighs
I throw stones at my tongue
’cause it should really keep its peace
I throw stones at my feet
’cause they stray and lead to defeat
A couple of big ones at my heart
’cause the thing is freezing cold
But my nafs is still alive
and kicking unstoppable and on a roll
I throw bricks at the devil so I’ll be sure to hit him
But first at the man in the mirror
so I can chase out the venom
Hmm, a little boy shot in the head
Just another kid sent out to get some bread
Not the first murder nor the last
Again and again a repetition of the past
Since the very first day same story
Young ones, old ones, some glory
How can it be, has the whole world turned blind?
Or is it just ’cause it’s only affecting my kind?!
If these walls could speak,
imagine what would they say
For me in this path that I walk on
there’s only one way
Bullets may kill, bones may break
Still I throw stones like David before me and I say

Wanderer’s Lyrics :
In my mind
Foreign lands
Followed lines
On my hands
Tasted earth
Touched the skies
Swam the pools
Of my eyes
People talked
In their fear
Rumours always
Whispered here
Where and why,
From what shore
Who was I
Searching for
You can call me worshipper
You can call me follower
But I’m just a wanderer
In search of my lover
You can call it foolish
A kind of madness
But I’m just a wanderer
In search of my lover
Pushed and pulled
Through these worlds
Winding roads
I crossed & curled
Pain & love
Hope & fear
In between
All unclear
Drunk on time,
Spin my thoughts
States of mind
Turning doors
Ask me now
Who I am
Turn your back
Take my hand
You can call me worshipper
You can call me follower
But I’m just a wanderer
In search of my lover
You can call it foolish
A kind of madness
But I’m just a wanderer
In search of my lover
There’s a fire calling me
Burning me
Leading me
Into ecstasy
You can call me worshipper
You can call me follower
But I’m just a wanderer
In search of my lover
You can call it foolish
A kind of madness
But I’m just a wanderer
In search of my lover
[Round round round round round round round round]

Paradise – Lyrics:
I remember when I first met you
I felt that God answered my call
There was that one place I always thought about
And I just wanted to be there with you
The place that no eye has ever seen
The place that no heart has ever perceived
I had a great feeling inside of me
That one day I’ll be there with you
And now that we’re here feeling so good
About all the things that we went through
Knowing that God is pleased with us too
It’s not a dream, this is so true
Feeling the peace all around
Seeing things we could never imagine
Hearing the sound of rivers flow
And we know we’ll be here forever
The feeling is indescribable
Knowing that this is our reward
Do you remember the hard times we went through?
And those days we used to argue
But there was not one thing that could bring us down
‘Cause we always had in our minds
The place that no eye has ever seen
The place that no heart has ever perceived
The place we’ve been promised to live in forever
And best of all, it’s just me and you
I remember us praying at night
And just dreaming about this together
I’m so blessed to have you in my life
And now we can enjoy these blessings forever
Paradise is where we are now
Paradise, a dream come true
Paradise, O what a feeling!
Paradise, thank You Allah!

Lyrics:
When I was young
I was a fool
I was blind didn’t know any better
I was afraid I made too many mistakes
And You’d only look at me as a sinner
No matter how much I would try
All the walls I put up always shattered
Until Your mercy conquered me
O Allah
You know all of my
My insecurities
You keep them hidden far away
O Allah
You hide all of my
Sins and impurities
You call me back when I go astray
Whatever I did
Whatever I said that’s wrong
It was only because I was fed up
I thought I could do it all
That I was strong
But it turned out I wasn’t so clever
No matter how much I would try
All the walls I put up always shattered
Until Your mercy conquered me
Every time I reflect on Your blessings
Couldn’t thank You enough if I tried
If I praised You like the angels
Until the end of time
It’s not enough to deserve
All of Your love

Lyrics:
This is not the way it is
This is not the way it should be
You’re destroying everything,
Everything that’s dear to me.
I can never be like you
You are the wicked of this world
You are the reason why we feel fear in our daily lives.
Chorus:
And faith is not about killing, it’s about life and sharing life with someone
Yes faith is not about killing, it’s about life and sharing life and making a difference
Yeah making a difference!
Do not involve the innocent
Do not involve them that’s not the way
Lost in your own ignorance, believing you will save the day
Chorus
It is not enough to say
That you’re fighting for a good cause,
When you take their lives away,
Ask the ones that suffered their loss

Use your mind, use your mind
It was given for you to use
Use your mind, use your mind, not for you to abuse

O Muhammad!
Even though I
Can’t see your face
Your presence
Is always all around me
Your name’s on mind every single day
Peace be upon you
O Muhammad!

Aşk-ı Muhabbet Lyrics:
Allah muhabbet bahşetsin kalbinize
Daim ve sonsuz aşk eksin gönlünüze
Sevgi sadakat ve saygı merhemdir besler kalbi
Muvaffak eyle, sen daim kıl bu güzelliği Rabbim
Chorus:
Allah muhabbetinizi bir, sizi birbirine kadir
Hem evvel hem ahir kılsın her daim
Size hamd ile hakkı anan, edebiyle şükrü olan
Bir ömür ihsan etsin Rabbim her zaman
En büyük nimet Haktan anne baba
Onlara hiç zahmet vermez, zor gelmez onca çaba
Onların ömrüne bereket ver, lutfunu göster ya galib
Her türlü dertten ve elemden uzak eyle kıl galip
CHORUS
Allahumma salli ‘ala Muhammad
(Allah’ım Muhammed’e salat ve selam gönder)

Lyrics & Translation:
مرّ طيفٌ بالمنامْ .. كانَ طيفَ مُحمدْ
A shadow passed through my dream, it was Muhammad’s shadow
ضِعْتَ مِنِّي يا كلامْ .. إِذ رأيتُ محمد
I was at a loss for words when I saw Muhammad
لم أقُلْ حتى: “سلامْ” .. ولِساني تَجَمَّدْ
I couldn’t even say “Salam” and I was tongue-tied
بل بكيتُ وانحنيتُ .. نحوَ نورِ محمد
I just cried and leaned, towards Muhammad’s light
يا محمد عليك الصلاةُ والسلام
O Muhammad upon you I send peace and blessings
حاضرٌ في خاطري دائمًا يا محمد
You are present in my thoughts at all times, O Muhammad
في صباحٍ ماطرِ رِيُّ قلبي محمد
On a rainy morning Muhammad quenches my heart’s thirst
في مساءٍ عاطرِ مددٌ ليس يَنفد
On a fragrant evening your help and kindness are never-ending
إن أُبلِّغْ عن فؤادي فحديثي محمد
Were I to convey my heart’s desire, all my words would be about Muhammad
يا محمد عليك الصلاةُ والسلام
O Muhammad upon you I send peace and blessings
لكَ عمري قد نذرتُ .. يا حبيبي يا محمد
I vow to dedicate my life to you, my beloved Muhammad
سأُلبِّي ما أمرتُ .. ولأضِعْ أو أُشَرَّدْ
I will follow your guidance no matter what happens
فإذا ما مِتُّ طِرْتُ .. يا فؤادي تَجَلَّدْ
And when I die, I will fly to you، O my soul, be strong!
سوف نَمضي سوف نَعْلُو .. سوف نلقى محمد
We will journey together, we will ascend, we will meet Muhammad

lyrics:
All night I pray I might,
Wake up and feel the light
Before I know it, the Sun has arrived
It greets me with its cheerful eyes
I’m thankful for this beautiful day
It feels so good to be on my way
I see the world there’s nothing to hide,
And in His name everything’s alright!
Chorus:
Call on him, and call on him, and call on him and say
Call on him, and call on him, and call on him and say:
Allah! The One creator of the heavens and Earth
Allah! The One who gives you all more than your worth
Allah! Just call on Him and He will hear
He’s by your side, so have no fear
Allah! Who picks you back up when you’ve taken a fall?
Allah! Whose epic mercy will shine above all?
Allah! Just call on Him and He will hear
He’s on your side, so have no fear
All day, I’m paving my way
Because I know, I’m not here to stay
Straight ahead, there’s so much to see
And I’ll be making history
I’m grateful for whatever has passed
He only stays, and nothing will last
Just how it ends is unknown to me
but in His shade is where I’ll want to be
CHORUS
Just take a step and open your eyes
Put your trust in Him and it’ll be alright
Just right when you:

Lyrics:
I gave my Salam to the mountain
And I drank from the mountain stream
And I walked upon its surface
And it all felt like a dream
And this mountain it is a Muslim
And I feel like he’s my friend
And as I climbed on to his peak
I wished it would never end
Allahu Allahu Allahu (throughout)
La Ilaha Ella Allah (throughout)
We should be like the mountain
It never complains
We should be like the mountain
It praises God and never complains
We should be like the mountain
Like the mountain
I gave my Salam to the mountain
And I strive through the wind and the snow
And something caught my eye up in the sky
And I wished it would never let go
Cause this mountain it is a Muslim
And I feel like he’s my friend
And as I climbed on to his peak
I wished it would never end
Subhanaka Ya Allah
سبحانك يا الله
Glory be to You oh Allah
On this mountain I feel complete
And while I’m here to this mountain I will speak
Subhanaka Ya Allah
سبحانك يا الله
Glory be to You oh Allah
And thank God for this wonderful day
And I know the mountain feels the same way
Subhanaka Ya Allah
سبحانك يا الله
Glory be to You oh Allah

My Little Girl – Lyrics:
You are a miracle
You are a blessing from above
You brought joy to my soul
And pleasure to my eyes
In my heart I can feel it
An unexplainable feeling
Being a father
The best thing that I could ever ask for
Just thinking of you, makes me smile
Holding you, looking in your eyes
I’m so grateful for having you
And everyday I pray
I pray that you’ll find your way
Chorus:
You know I love you
I love you
My little girl, my little girl
I ask God to bless you, and protect you always
My little girl, my little girl
You’re like a shining star
So beautiful you are
My baby girl
You light up my world
I pray that I’ll get the chance
To be around and watch you grow
And witness your first steps
And the first time when you will call me dad
CHORUS
I could spend hours watching you
Ohh you’re so innocent, so lovely and so pure
Oh God I can not express my gratitude
But i’ll raise her good, cause all I want is to please you
And now I pray, You’ll guide her ways forever

But I see it clear, what’s deep inside
Is the only thing that really matters
So tell me how, how to turn it around
Before my senses hit the ground
‘Coz I know that’s it’s wrong
And I want to change

May this moment last forever
In your hearts, in your hearts
A day you’ll always remember
Every part, every part
This feeling of love
Just let it grow forever through your life
Bring beautiful years of joy
Between you til the end of time

Allah bless you with all His love
Send peace from up above
And may your frienship grow
Through the years
Together you will live
The good times and the tears
That’s just how beautiful your day is
We gift all our thanks to both
Our mum and dad, mum and dad
How you worked and sacrificed
The life you had, life you had
Forever we’ll never forget
You and everything you’ve done
No matter how hard we try
To thank you it won’t be enough

I was so far from You
Yet to me You were always so close
I wandered lost in the dark
I closed my eyes
To all the signs You put in my way
I walked every day
Further and further away from You
Allah You brought me home
I thank You with every breath I take
Chorus:
Alhamdu Lillah, Alhamdu lillah
All praise is to Allah, All praise is to Allah
I never thought about
All the things You had given to me
I never thanked You once
I was too proud
To see the truth
And prostrate to You
Until I took the first step
And that’s when You opened the doors for me
And now, Allah, I realise what I was missing
By being far from You
Chorus
Allah I want to thank You
I want to thank You for all the things that You’ve done
You’ve done for me through all my years I’ve been lost

Indeed You gave me hope
Oh Allah I want to thank You

You guided me from all the ways that were wrong
I want to thank You

Brighter than the sun
Fairer than the moon
Your beauty is so dazzling
Bigger than the sea
Higher than the clouds
Your soul is so enlightening

Your smile is so bright
It lits up the dark night
Brought mercy and light
To my waiting heart
I know that I’m weak
Of my sins I can’t speak
Your mercy I seek
Though I’m not worthy
What I’d give to see your face
Beaming with so much grace
Brighter than the sun
Fairer than the moon
Your beauty is so dazzling
Bigger than the sea
Higher than the clouds
Your soul is so enlightening

Will I be from those
You welcome with a smile
As you call your nation
Come to my side
Or will I see you frown
And then turn away
I did let you down
I forgot this Day
What I’d give to see your face
Beaming with so much grace
Brighter than the sun
Fairer than the moon
Your beauty is so dazzling
Bigger than the sea
Higher than the clouds
Your soul is so enlightening

“More Than Me And You” Lyrics:
I’m scared to death but I’m happy
I don’t know what to do
You came to me and said,
“Babe, guess what?! I think our dream’s finally coming true!”
A tiny gift from heaven
I can’t believe it’s real
A test for us to relish
this new love that we feel
Chorus:
And now our hearts are sealed together
And now our lives will change forever
I thank God for that tiny beating heart,
A love so true
I guess it’s gonna be more than me and you
I’ll take good care of your taste buds
And learn to count in weeks
While you keep you her warm from this worldly storm,
I’ll sing you both to a cozy sleep
A soul we’ll share between us
with His guidance from up above
There’s an angel growing,
And it’s got you glowing,
With noor from all His love
CHORUS
I’m counting my blessings from the moment that I met you
And patiently waiting for our dream to come true
It’s already written, so I prayed for you and me
And whatever happens : It’s Allah’s mercy
CHORUS x 2

Call My Name’s Lyrics :
Remember the time
when you and I were all alone
When we were so shy
now it feels so long ago
Whispered my name
soft as the falling snow
Close in my arms
promised I’d never let go
There’s a line that leads from you to me
It’s a path we’ve long forgotten
But if I could hear you calling
I’d come running
Call my name
Call my name and I’m yours
Call my name
Call my name and I’m yours
Call my name
Call my name and I’m yours
Call my name
Call my name and I’m yours
Remember the time
when everything moved so slow
As if that one night
was all that we’d ever know
I’m still there waiting
hoping your voice will show
(Cos) wherever you are
that is where I call home
There’s a line that leads from you to me
It’s a path we’ve long forgotten
But if I could hear you calling
I’d come running
Call my name
Call my name and I’m yours
Call my name
Call my name and I’m yours
Call my name
Call my name and I’m yours
Call my name
Call my name and I’m yours
I’m right here
Beside you
I know you can’t see
Beloved
I’m waiting
For you to remember me

Pearl:
As an album ‘The Centre’ takes us through a spiritual journey. ‘The Pearl’ is at the heart of this journey,
the hidden beauty that is revealed once we peel back these layers of self discovery.
Lying in darkness at the bottom of a deep ocean, protected by a hard shell,
The Pearl is waiting for anyone with the determination and patience to find it.

lyrics:
I spent a thousand sleepless nights
In wait of dreams I could not find
I walked a thousand empty roads
In search of signs to bring me home
With every breath I spoke your name
And heard it rolling in the waves
Beneath a veil of ocean blue
I broke illusion from the truth
You said, walk to me and I’ll find you
Call me and I’ll show you
Hiding like a pearl for you
To heal and guide you
From deep inside you
Hiding like a pearl for you
Music
And from the pulse beneath my skin
You called me to a source within
Where every layer revealed one more
A secret brighter than before
And at the heart there lay just one
The root of all that I’d become
I watched the surface start to break
Free of form, free of shape.
You said, walk to me and I’ll run to you
Call me and I’ll show you
Hiding like a pearl for you
To heal and guide you
From deep inside you
Hiding like a pearl for you.
