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.

Impatient and longing to meet my beloved
My steps quicken my heartbeat racing
I long to touch each inch as I pass
Hoping to absorb his light into my heart
Ya Mohammad Ya Habibi You are the light of
this blessed city
I’m standing humbly at your green dome
I’m full of sins I’m full of shame
I feel adorned by your beauty
Giving my tears in plea forgive me
Ya Mohammad Ya Habibi You are the light of
this blessed city
My head prostrates onto the ground
All is calm now I feel at peace
No sound amongst these millions
Only I can hear my heartbeat
Ya Mohammad Ya Habibi You are the light of
this blessed city
A place here in Jannah grant me
My bags are packed yet I can’t leave
I yearn the streets of my Rasool
He is my love please let me be

We’re here on this special day
Our hearts are full of pleasure
A day that brings the two of you
Close together
We’re gathered here to celebrate
A moment you’ll always treasure
Let’s ask Allah to make your love
Last forever
Chorus:
Let’s raise our hands
And make du’a
Like the Prophet taught us
And with one voice let’s all say
Baraka Allahu lakuma
Wa baraka ‘alaykuma
Wa jama’a baynakuma
Fi khayr
(May Allah bless everything for you two
And shower His blessings upon the two of you
And may he bring you together
In everything that is good)
From now you’ll share all your joys
Through hardship support each other
Together worshipping Allah
Seeking His pleasure
We pray that He will fill your life
With happiness and blessings
And grant you kids who’ll make your home
Filled with laughter
Chorus
Allah barik lahuma
Allah adim hobbahuma

Allah, make their love last for ever
Allah, send peace and blessings

Lyrics:
I hear the flowers kind of crying loud
The breeze is sounding sad, oh no
Tell me when did we become so cold and empty inside
Lost our way long time ago
Did we really turn that blind?
We don’t see that we keep hurting each other no
All we do is just fight
Now we share the same bright sun
The same round moon
Why don’t we share the same love?
Tell me why not
Life is shorter than most had thought
Chorus:
Hold my hand
There are many ways to do it right
Hold my hand
Turn around and see what we’ve left behind
Hold my hand my friend
We could save the good spirit in me and you
For another chance
And let’s pray for the beautiful world
The beautiful world I share with you
Children seem like they’ve lost their smile
On the new bloody play grounds, oh no
How could we ignore heart breaking crying sounds
And we’re still going on like nobody really cares
And we just stopped feeling all the pain we cause
Like it’s a daily basic affair
Now we share the same bright sun
The same round moon
Why don’t we share the same love?
Tell me why not
Life is shorter than most had thought
Chorus
No matter how far I might be
I’m always going to be your neighbour
There’s only one small planet where to be
So I’m always going to be your neighbour
We cannot hide, we can’t deny
That we’re always going to be neighbours
Your neighbour, my neighbour, we’re neighbours

Oh my Lord you are the Bountiful, Most Kind and Forbearing
Oh my Lord you are the Most forgiving, Patient and Thankful
Oh my Lord, you are the Most Merciful, Generous, and Affectionate
Oh my Lord, you are the Most Forgiving, the all compelling subduer, and Shielding
You are the one
The only one
You have no partners
You have no son
You gave me life
You gave me sight
Lead me from darkness into the light

LYRICS:
Let us not forget
Let us not forget
who we are, whence we came, where we shall go
Let us not forget
We have now fallen and forgotten who we are
Wandering on earth with no compass in hand
But we can remember
We can remember
Let us not forget that although cast in this lowly world
Let us not forget
Although blinded by veils of neglect and heedlessness
We are placed here on earth to remember
To remember
Who we really are as we make this journey of earthly life

Lyrics:
I hear the flowers kind of crying loud
The breeze is sounding sad, oh no
Tell me when did we become so cold and empty inside
Lost our way long time ago
Did we really turn that blind?
We don’t see that we keep hurting each other no
All we do is just fight
Now we share the same bright sun
The same round moon
Why don’t we share the same love?
Tell me why not
Life is shorter than most had thought
Chorus:
Hold my hand
There are many ways to do it right
Hold my hand
Turn around and see what we’ve left behind
Hold my hand my friend
We could save the good spirit in me and you
For another chance
And let’s pray for the beautiful world
The beautiful world I share with you
Children seem like they’ve lost their smile
On the new bloody play grounds, oh no
How could we ignore heart breaking crying sounds
And we’re still going on like nobody really cares
And we just stopped feeling all the pain we cause
Like it’s a daily basic affair
Now we share the same bright sun
The same round moon
Why don’t we share the same love?
Tell me why not
Life is shorter than most had thought
Chorus
No matter how far I might be
I’m always going to be your neighbour
There’s only one small planet where to be
So I’m always going to be your neighbour
We cannot hide, we can’t deny
That we’re always going to be neighbours
Your neighbour, my neighbour, we’re neighbours

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

Lyrics:
I’ve been dreaming of this world
Won’t you come along and dream with me?
It’s picture-perfect in my mind
Oh how I wish it would be real, oh real
No one living on the streets or digging for a bite to eat,
And pain and hunger are nothing, nothing but a memory
Let’s dream to make it real
Chorus:
Dream your biggest dream
If we dream enough together we can make it real
And lend a helping hand
What we keep won’t mean anything, once we’re gone
No abandoned women, struggling hard trying to make ends meet
No more missing fathers for their sons to be left all alone crying
Elders and children are all cared for lovingly
No one falling through the cracks of government bureaucracy
Let’s dream to make it real
CHORUS
Too many times I’ve walked through these streets
Wondering where we went wrong
Our hands alone can feel so helpless and weak
But surely with yours they’ll be strong
Our problems and fears will soon disappear
If we try hard enough they’ll all be gone
Brothers and sisters, it takes each of us
Together we can overcome!
We shall overcome

“Let It Go” Lyrics:-
Life can be so hard sometimes
Break you up inside
All you want to do is cry
Shut the door and hide
Don’t surrender to what was
Put your faith in what will be
Everyday is a brand new start
Chorus:
Let it go, let it go
Let it go, let it go
Giving up should never be
Something you decide to do
Wipe the tears from your cheek
God knows what you’re going through
So don’t surrender to what was
Put your faith in what will be
Everyday is a brand new start, yeah
CHORUS
I know it’s hard but believe and keep trying
And it will be okay
‘Cause in your heart is the strength to survive it
You will be okay
And in no time like the sun you’ll be shining
Just let it go away

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
You, you’re not aware
That we’re aware

Don’t show your tears

Don’t show your tears
