Sari Gelin:
Sari Gelin is a famous Azeri folk song hugely popular around the world, particularly in Turkey,
Azerbaijain and the Persian speaking countries (Afghanistan, Iran, Tajikistan) as well as Uzbekistan,
Greece, Bosnia and Serbia to name just a few. There are many traditional versions of this hauntingly emotional melody.
This is our humble attempt at creating an English version of this beautiful love song
based loosely on translations from the original variations.

lyrics:
I fight for a love
Knowing it can’t be won
Sent from a light above
Child of our golden Sun
Sari Gelin
I reach for hands
Knowing they can’t be held
Cursed by words I can’t tell
Broken under your spell
Sari Gelin
And like a rose
Turning in to thorns
My love was taken
Back to the light above
What can I do, my love?
Child of our Golden Sun
Sari Gelin.
A beating drum
Searches on for your song
Echoes will carry on
Wondering where you’ve gone
Sari Gelin
Is that your voice
Caught in the mountain air?
Leading me to nowhere
Drifting in silent prayer
Sari Gelin
And like a rose
Turning in to thorns
My love was taken
Back to the light above
What can I do, my love?
Child of our Golden Sun
Sari Gelin
Saçın ucun hörməzlər Gülü sulu dərməzlər Sarı gəlin
Saçın ucun hörməzlər Gülü sulu dərməzlər Sarı gəlin
Bu sevda nə sevdadır Səni mənə verməzlər Neynim aman, aman Neynim aman, aman Sarı gəlin
Back to the light above
What can I do, my love?
Child of our Golden Sun

La ilaha illa Allah
(There is no god but Allah)
لا إله إلا الله
He created the plants and trees
He created the birds and bees
He created the oceans and seas
Some of His many bounties
He made us on earth trustees
To obey all His decrees
Oh Allah have mercy please,
Clean away our hearts’ disease

He gave the day and night
He gave us our sense sight
He created the sun so bright
And the moon so pure and white
He saved from our plight
He led us towards the light
He led us to the straight path
Through his mercy and his might

O Allah the Almighty
Protect me and guide me
To your love and mercy
Ya Allah don’t deprive me
From beholding your beauty
O my Lord accept this plea
حسبي ربي جل الله
ما في قلبي غير الله
Wo tanha kaun hai
Badshah wo kaun hai
Meherban wo kaun hai
Kya unchi shan hai
Uskey sab nishan hai
Sab dilon ki jan hai
Affeder günahı
Alemin padişahı
Yüreklerin felahı
İşit Allah derdimi bu ahlarımı
Rahmeyle bağışla günahlarimi
Hayır eyle hem akşam hem sabahlarımı

صل على طه الأمين
في كل وقت وحين
املأ قلبي باليقين
ثبتني على هذا الدين

Ku MilikMu – Lyrics:
Kuberdoa
Dengan jiwa dan tubuhku
Setiap hari sepanjang hidupku
Dengan napasku
Aku berjanji pada-Mu
Untuk hidup hanya untuk-Mu
O Allah!
Kau bangkitkan jiwaku
Cahaya-Mu terangi hatiku
Hidupku,
Kupersembahkan pada-Mu
Ku milik-Mu
Ku milik-Mu
Chorus:
Kini kutahu rasanya
Hidup dalam cahaya kasih-Mu
Kini kutahu rasanya
Menemukan damai di hati
Seandainya semua tahu
Indahnya mengabdi pada-Mu
Seandainya semua tahu
Kasih-Mu lepaskan belenggu
Bebaskanku, kuatkanku
O Allah!
Kubersyukur pada-Mu
Walau kata tak sanggup ungkapkan
Kau buatku,
Mampu lawan keraguan
Dan tegar hadapi tantangan
Hanya Engkau
Sanggup bangkitkan jiwaku
Cahaya-Mu terangi hatiku
Dan hidupku,
Kupersembahkan pada-Mu
Ku milik-Mu
Ku milik-Mu
CHORUS
Cinta, hidup, siang, malam, harta, doa semua
untuk-Mu (x2)
Dan tiada satu pun dapat bersaing dengan-Mu di hatiku
Cinta, hidup, siang, malam, harta, doa semua untuk-Mu

Lyrics:
Ey hüznüm, ey rahmet
(O my sadness, O mercy)
Ey iffet, ey Kudüs
(O purity, O Jerusalem)
Bir gözde yaş yada yağmur olsam
(If I were a teardrop in an eye or a drop of rain…)
Yağsam üstüne
(I would rain down on you)
Yangınların ben saklasam düşsem şehidin yüzüne
(I’d hide the fires, I’d fall on the face of a martyr)
Sabrın sonu selametin, kimi lanetin olur
(The end of patience is your salvation, but for whom will it be a curse)
Kaldır onur bayrağını dik dur!
(Raise your flag of honour and stand tall!)
Ey Kudüs ey Aksa
(O Jerusalem, O Al-Aqsa)
Unutulmadın asla
(You are never forgotten)
Umudumuz senle
(Our hope is with you)
Sen özgür ol Gazze
(Be free Gaza!)
Güneş doğarken müjdeler karanlıklar
(As the sun is rising, good news is coming to dispel the darkness)
Biter elemden sonra hep ferahlık var
(The pain is ending and there will be relief everywhere)
Enkazının bağrında bak çiçek açar
(Look, flowers are blooming in the heart of your rubble)
Güvercinler barış için kanat çırpar
(And doves are fluttering their wings for peace)
Ey Kudüs ey Aksa
(O Jerusalem, O Al-Aqsa)
Unutulmadın asla
(You are never forgotten)
Umudumuz senle
(Our hope is with you)
Sen özgür ol Gazze
(Be free Gaza!)
Benden seni sordukları günde bana
(On the day when they will ask me about you)
Dilime müjdelenen kutlu zaferi söylet
(Make my tongue sing the song of the blessed long-awaited victory)
Sustuklarımızı bizden sorma, affet ya Rab
(Don’t ask us about our silence and forgive us, O Lord)
Bu esarete özgürlüğü Sen nasip et
(And grant Palestine freedom from this subjugation)

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
يا محمد عليك الصلاةُ والسلام
O Muhammad upon you I send peace and blessings

Who made the clouds come by
So we can live and be?
Sending rain so soft and mild
Cleansing you and me?
Who gave me clear eyes to see
The moon when it beams?
He taught me how silent love can be
A road to your dreams
Who taught the mothers of the world
To love us the way they do?
When all the trials unfurl
All they think of is you
You still make me cry
You still make me laugh
Don’t let me ever forget
About our golden past
And so the world moves on its way
Newcomers join every day
Tomorrow they will say…

O Mohammad (Only Vocals) – Ayisha Abdul Basith and Salim Sulaiman
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.

Sous ses draps blancs je les entend
Tous ses cries des larmes parents
Qui viennent pleurer leur unique enfant
Le hasard est venu pour moi
Ne me demandez pas pourquoi
Il frappe toujours soudainement
Mon cœur s’arrête tout doucement
Je n’entends plus ses battements
Le temps s’arrête fatalement
Pourquoi faut-il tant de larmes
Pourquoi faut-il tant de drames
Il est temps de poser les armes
Ma vie a-t-elle été accomplie?
Ma vie a-t-elle été bien remplie?
Maintenant il est vraiment trop tard
Je suis tout prêt du grand départ
Pourquoi les hommes meurent?
Pourquoi les hommes pleurent?
Pourquoi tant de malheurs?
Pourquoi avoir tant peur?
Prions tous ensemble mes frères
Pour atteindre la blanche lumière
Pour suivre enfin le droit chemin
Pour accomplie notre destin
Pourquoi les hommes meurent?
Pourquoi les hommes pleurent?
Pourquoi tant de malheurs?
Pourquoi avoir tant peur?
Prions alors tous mes frères
Pour atteindre la lumière
Donne nous du bonheur à nos prochains
Guidons leurs pas main par la main
Père maintenant, il est l’heure
Personne ne me l’avait prédit
Ai-je vécu en harmonie?
Ai-je été un bon prêcheur?
Ai-je été d’un bon soutien?
Pour protéger tous les miens
Ma famille est là réunie
Tout autour de moi, elle prie
Je sens son souffle chaud qui me frôle
Mes amis me portent sur leurs épaules
Personne ne m’entend, ne me comprend
On me descend tout doucement
A dieu à vous tous mes frères
On me recouvre de cette terre
Alors, je repose tout seule
Enfin, c’est le temps du deuil
Pourquoi les hommes meurent?
Pourquoi les hommes pleurent?
Pourquoi tant de malheurs?
Pourquoi avoir tant peur?
Prions tous ensemble mes frères
Pour atteindre la blanche lumière
Pour suivre enfin le droit chemin

Pourquoi les hommes meurent?
Pourquoi les hommes pleurent?
Pourquoi tant de malheurs?
Pourquoi avoir tant peur?
Prions tous ensemble mes frères
Pour atteindre la blanche lumière
Pour suivre enfin le droit chemin
Pour accomplie notre destin
Pourquoi les hommes meurent?
Pourquoi les hommes pleurent?
Pourquoi tant de malheurs?
Pourquoi avoir tant peur?
Prions alors tous mes frères
Pour atteindre la lumière
Donne nous du bonheur à nos prochains
Guidons leurs pas main par la main
Père maintenant, il est l’heure
Personne ne me l’avait prédit
Ai-je vécu en harmonie?
Ai-je été un bon prêcheur?
Ai-je été d’un bon soutien?
Pour protéger tous les miens
Ma famille est là réunie
Tout autour de moi, elle prie
Je sens son souffle chaud qui me frôle
Mes amis me portent sur leurs épaules
Personne ne m’entend, ne me comprend
On me descend tout doucement
A dieu à vous tous mes frères
On me recouvre de cette terre
Alors, je repose tout seule
Enfin, c’est le temps du deuil
Pourquoi les hommes meurent?
Pourquoi les hommes pleurent?
Pourquoi tant de malheurs?
Pourquoi avoir tant peur?
Prions tous ensemble mes frères
Pour atteindre la blanche lumière
Pour suivre enfin le droit chemin
Pour accomplie notre destin
Pourquoi les hommes meurent?
Pourquoi les hommes pleurent?
Pourquoi tant de malheurs?
Pourquoi avoir tant peur?
Prions alors tous mes frères
Pour atteindre la lumière
Donne nous du bonheur à nos prochains
Guidons leurs pas main par la main
Pourquoi les hommes meurent?
Pourquoi les hommes pleurent?
Pourquoi tant de malheurs?
Pourquoi avoir tant peur?
Prions alors tous mes frères
Pour atteindre la lumière
Donne nous du bonheur à nos prochains
Guidons leurs pas main par la main

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:
Aa mil yaar saarley, Meri jaan dikhaan ney gyheri
Come my love take care of me, I am in great agony
Ander khawab vchora hoya, Khabar na payndi teri
Soni ban wich luti saiyaan, Soor palang ney gheyri
Ever separated, my dreams are dreary
Looking for you, my eyes are weary
All alone I am robbed in a desert
Waylaid by a bunch of way words
Mullan Qazi rah batawaan, Deen dharam dey pherey
Aye taan thag jugat dey jhaar, lawaanjaal chufereey
The Mullah and Qazi show me the way
Their maze of Dharma that is in sway
They are the confirmed thieves of time
They spread their net saintly crime
Karam sharo dey dharam batawan
Sangal pawan pereen Zaat mazhab yeh ishq na pochdaa
Ishq shara da weri
Their time-worn norms are seldom right
With these they chain my feet so tight
My love cares not for caste or creed
To the rituals of faith I pay no heed
Nadioon paar aye mulk sajan da
lehar lobh ney gheri Satgor beri perhi khalotey
Ten kion lai aweri
My Master lives on yonder bank
While I am caught in the gale of greed
With boat of anchor, He stands in wait
I must hasten, I can’t be late

Lyrics:
Malayalam Verse:
Jeevante nritham pole
Like the seasons of nature and life
Ororo poovum pullum neele
On your path to success, every plant and flower that acts as an umbrella
Theeratha kavyam theerpu
Life is like an eternal poem
Aa vinnil suryan porum
The Morning sun that shines your day
Ravakum tharajalam pookum
As well the stars that lit the sky for you
Kalathin thalam kelkan va
To let you hear the rhythm of life
Venal marum varsham peyyum
Come and witness the summer move aside for the rain to drop
Ushasandhyakalayi manasse padu
After the darkest night comes dawn
Thalarathe naam Thudaram yathra
so never back down and continue the journey
Hindi Verse:
Ye Subha Mein Ujala
This Brightness in the Morning
Ye Machalti Shaam Ka Roshan Tara
is like a glistening star on a fancy night
Kehta Hai Tu Bhi Aaa Jagmaga
that says “come and shine with me”
Ghani Hain Ye Rahen
The ways are thick
Judi Aise Jaise bahen
Combined as two arms
Manzil Pe tum gum Na ho Jana
Our point of destiny won’t be lost
Qadam Badha
Step Forward
Bulandi Pe Jaa
Reach the heights
Sapnay Tu Saja
Build all your dreams
Jalway tu Dikha
Come out in flying colors
Aman Ko Jaga
Bring peace
Ghamon Ko Bhula
Forget all the hardships

Mast Qalandar – Sami Yusuf
DESCRIPTION:
Sami Yusuf’s composition ‘Veritas’ premiered at the Holland Festival in Amsterdam
as part of his concert series ‘When Paths Meet’.
From the minimal and ethereal sound of the intro,
it subtly transitions to a sense of awe at the astonishing majesty and multiplicity of creation.
The Persian-influenced musical phrasing of Sami Yusuf’s vocalisations
in the intro are inspired by the Daramad of Avaz-e dashti,
a subgroup of the Shur dastgah, a Persian modal system evocative of a meditative state.
Cappella Amsterdam sings quarter tones here and they do so brilliantly.
The flamenco and Andalusian sounds of the Amsterdam Andalusian Orchestra interplay
with Western classical elements and the vibrant Arabic maqam Bayati.
When the mode shifts to the passionate yearning of maqam Nahawand,
its similarity to the Western classical minor scale brings an effortless resonance between the two.
The outro joins Bayati and a harmonic minor scale in a multi-faceted,
fiery expression of multiple, even contradictory states of being,
while the vocalists insist,
‘Veritas’, ‘Veritas’ – Truth, Truth – and cast our focus beneath the turbulent surface storms
to the calm depths below.

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.

Lyrics:
THIRSTY AS A DESERT’S PAIN
I MISS YOUR TOUCH LIKE POURING RAIN
WHEN CLOUDS COME IN THEY CRY ALL NIGHT
AND GIVE ME TEARS TO FILL MY EYES
THE FOOTPRINTS THAT YOU LEFT HAVE STAYED
ABOVE THE SAND BENEATH THE WAVES
LONG AFTER TIME HAS LET THEM GO
I’LL WAIT FOR TIDES TO GUIDE YOU HOME
DIZZY AS THE TEA I BREW
MY MIND STIRS ROUND WITH THOUGHTS OF YOU
AND LIKE THE MELTING SUGAR CUBES
YOU DISAPPEARED AND LEFT ME TO
YOUR FACE AND FORM IS ALL I SEE
IN SILHOUETTES OF SCOLDING STEAM
AT NIGHT THE KITCHEN CANDLES GLOW
AND SHINE A LIGHT TO GUIDE YOU HOME
(AZERI)
KÜÇƏLƏRƏ SU SƏPMİŞƏM
I HAVE THROWN WATER INTO THE STREET
YAR GƏLƏNDƏ TOZ OLMASIN
MY BELOVED IS COMING, SO THERE MUST NOT BE DUST
ELƏ GƏLSİN, ELƏ GETSİN
LET HER COME, LET HER GO
ARAMIZDA SÖZ OLMASIN
BUT LET THERE NOT BE WORDS BETWEEN US
FAR AWAY AND ALL ALONE
I TRUST IN STARS TO GUIDE YOU HOME
