When paths meet (Live at the Holland Festival)
أناشيد الألبوم
DESCRIPTION:
Experience the beauty and unity of diverse musical traditions with Sami Yusuf’s
latest release, ‘One.’ Recorded live at the Holland Festival in June 2022,
this piece showcases exceptional artistry from Cappella Amsterdam,
the Amsterdam Andalusian Orchestra, and Sami Yusuf’s own ensemble.
Composed and arranged by Sami Yusuf,
‘One’ is a stunning blend of Western European vocal performance and the dynamic
rhythms of Andalusian, North African and Middle Eastern instruments including the ney,
violin, qanun, santur and percussions.
The German words by Meister Eckhart and Arabic poetry by Abu al-Hasan al-Shushtari
speak of the Eternal I and the unity of vision, emphasising the separate beauty of
each path and their underlying unity.
Performed in E Flat with allusions to maqām Nahāwand,
‘One’ opens with Cappella Amsterdam’s hauntingly beautiful vocals,
transitioning to the richly textured and dynamic rhythms of Amsterdam
Andalusian Orchestra, culminating in a mesmerising santur and percussion performance
by Sami Yusuf’s ensemble.
‘One’ invites you to experience the oneness of the human spirit in art.

About the Performance
Sami Yusuf’s instrumental composition ‘The Meeting’ is an intimate
and deeply personal work. Direct and non-linear, the melodies,
rhythms and vocalisations sustain and support
one another flawlessly as the music moves fluidly between the Western
aeolian mode and the Persian dastgah shur. Solos by Sami Yusuf on tar,
Guo Gan on erhu, and Asad Khan on sitar circle each other
to create an embracing ambience where each melodic line is a subtle gem,
strong and fragile in equal measure.

I Only Knew Love (Live at the Holland Festival) – 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.

The Fire Within (Live at the Holland Festival) – Sami Yusuf
DESCRIPTION:
Acclaimed British composer Sami Yusuf brings the immensely popular
Moroccan folk song ‘Fiyyashiyya’ to a European audience in his stunning
new arrangement performed live at the Holland Festival.
An achingly eloquent solo improvisation on the Chinese erhu
by the world-renowned master Guo Gan opens the piece,
which then moves into a joyful call and response between Sami Yusuf
and the vocalists of Cappella Amsterdam. As the rhythm builds,
the Arabic lyrics sung by the Amsterdam Andalusian Orchestra
are answered in English by Cappella Amsterdam.
This innovative rendition captures the exuberant essence of
the North African folk sound just as it clearly captured the hearts
of the audience who are heard clapping and singing along.
Written by the Moroccan poet
Sidi Othman ibn Yahya Cherki (known as “Sidi Bahloul Cherki”) in the 17th century

DESCRIPTION:
‘Karitas’ is a spellbinding new composition by acclaimed British musician Sami Yusuf.
It was recorded live at the Holland Festival in June 2022 and delivered with
exceptional artistry by Cappella Amsterdam,
the Amsterdam Andalusian Orchestra & the composer’s own ensemble.
The work moves with intelligence and fluidity from Western choral music
to Middle Eastern modes to the cadence of Andalusia.
Modes traverse boundaries from the distinctive Bayati Shiraz
and Rast maqams to the aeolian. Subtly flowing rhythms & improvisation,
entrancing solos on the Chinese erhu, oud, ney, violin,
underscore the depth of the dialogue among traditions taking place here.
Lyrics by Fuzuli, a 16th c. Azerbaijani writer known as a poet of divine love,
are echoed here in the words of the 12th c. German mystic Hildegard of Bingen.
Intoxicatingly beautiful mawwals take verses from
the Andalusian poet Abul Hasan al-Shushtari (13th c.) and
Abd al-Ghani al-Nabulsi, a 17th c. Syrian writer.

Karitas (Live at the Holland Festival) – 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.

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

Lyrics:
يا سَعدَ عُيوني حين أراه
Oh how happy my eyes are when I see him
يا طُولَ حَنيني كَي ألقاه
Oh how long have I been waiting to meet him
أنوارُ الدنيا بعضُ سَناه
The world’s light is a beam from his light
ونسيمُ الجنة بعضُ شَذاه
And the breeze of Paradise is from his beautiful scent
ياشفاءً للعليل
You are the cure for the sick
يا دواءً للمُعذَّب
You are the medicine for the one in pain
بيننا دهرٌ طويل
The distance between us is long
ولكَ القلبُ تشرَّب
And for you the heart is longing
يا نبيّي يا رسولي
O my Prophet, O my Messenger
يا شَفيعي يا حبيبي
O my Intersessor, O my Beloved
يا نَوالي يا وُصُولي
You are my aim, my destination
يا حبيبي يا محمد
O my Beloved, O Muhammad
محمد .. يا محمد
Muhammad, O Muhammad
محمد .. يا محمد
Muhammad, O Muhammad
محمد .. يا محمد

أنت شفاء للقلوب
You are a healing for the hearts
أنت العلاج لجميع الهموم

أنت رحمة للعالمين
You are a mercy for the worlds

Lyrics:
يا سَعدَ عُيوني حين أراه
Oh how happy my eyes are when I see him
يا طُولَ حَنيني كَي ألقاه
Oh how long have I been waiting to meet him
أنوارُ الدنيا بعضُ سَناه
The world’s light is a beam from his light
ونسيمُ الجنة بعضُ شَذاه
And the breeze of Paradise is from his beautiful scent
ياشفاءً للعليل
You are the cure for the sick
يا دواءً للمُعذَّب
You are the medicine for the one in pain
بيننا دهرٌ طويل
The distance between us is long
ولكَ القلبُ تشرَّب
And for you the heart is longing
يا نبيّي يا رسولي
O my Prophet, O my Messenger
يا شَفيعي يا حبيبي
O my Intersessor, O my Beloved
يا نَوالي يا وُصُولي
You are my aim, my destination
يا حبيبي يا محمد
O my Beloved, O Muhammad
محمد .. يا محمد
Muhammad, O Muhammad
محمد .. يا محمد
Muhammad, O Muhammad
محمد .. يا محمد
Muhammad, O Muhammad
يا رسول الله
O Messenger of Allah
يا حبيبَ الله
O Beloved of Allah
أنت شفاء للقلوب
You are a healing for the hearts
أنت العلاج لجميع الهموم
You are the cure for all troubles
أنت رحمة للعالمين
You are a mercy for the worlds
يا حبيبي يا محمد!
My Beloved O Muhammad!

Özlemin yara değil, benim ilacım

Yüreğimde muhabbetine muhtacım

Starting on the 11th of July 1995, the Srebrenica massacre cost the lives of 8372 Bosnian Muslim men and boys,
the worst war crime to take place on European soil since the Second World War.
” منذ بدايتها في 11 يوليو 1995، أودت مذبحة الإبادة الجماعية بسربنيتسا بحياة 8372 رجلا وطفلا مسلما بسنيا،
وهي أسوء جرائم الحرب التي حدثت على الأراضي الأوروبية منذ الحرب العالمية الثانية. ”

Lyrics | كلمات العمل :
Hold my hand and don’t let go
أمسكي يدي ولا تفلتيها
Mamma, I love you so
أمي، أحبك كثيرا
They’re taking me away, I don’t wanna go
إنهم يأخذونني بعيدا، لكني لا أريد الذهاب
Mamma, pray for my soul
أمي، إدعي لروحي
I don’t know what I’ve done wrong
لا أعلم ماهو الذنب الذي اقترفته
And why they hate me so
ولماذا يكرهونني إلى هذا الحد
Don’t forget me
لا تنسيني
Chorus
Srebrenica
سربرينتسا
You’ll always be in my heart
ستكونين دائما في قلبي
Srebrenica, I won’t forget
سربرينتسا، لن أنسى
Standing side by side, waiting to die
واقفون جنبا إلى جنب، ننتظر الموت
This fear, it can’t be described
هذا الخوف، لا يمكن وصفه
Every minute felt like years, as we stood in line
كل دقيقة مرت كأنها سنوات، ونحن نقف مصطفين
While tears flowed from my eyes
بينما يتدفق الدمع من عيني
I don’t know what I’ve done wrong
لا أعلم ماهو الذنب الذي اقترفته
And why they hate me so
ولماذا يكرهونني إلى هذا الحد
Don’t forget me
لا تنسيني
CHORUS
You discriminate
أنتم تميزون
Against my faith and my name
ضد عقيدتي وإسمي
Stop spreading your hate
كفوا نشر كراهيتكم
We are all the same
كلنا سواسية
We are all the same
كلنا سواسية
CHORUS
I will never forget
لن أنسى

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.

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
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

Number One For Me – Lyrics:
I was a foolish little child
Crazy things I used to do
And all the pain I put you through
Mama now I’m here for you
For all the times I made you cry
The days I told you lies
Now it’s time for you to rise
For all the things you sacrificed
Chorus:
Oh, if I could turn back time rewind
If I could make it undone
I swear that I would
I would make it up to you
Mum I’m all grown up now
It’s a brand new day
I’d like to put a smile on your face every day
Mum I’m all grown up now
And it’s not too late
I’d like to put a smile on your face every day
And now I finally understand
Your famous line
About the day I’d face in time
‘Cause now I’ve got a child of mine
And even though I was so bad
I’ve learned so much from you
Now I’m trying to do it too
Love my kid the way you do
CHORUS
You know you are the number one for me (x3)
Oh, oh, number one for me
There’s no one in this world that can take your place
Oh, I’m sorry for ever taking you for granted, ooh
I will use every chance I get
To make you smile, whenever I’m around you
Now I will try to love you like you love me
Only God knows how much you mean to me

“Medina” Lyrics:-
Medina, Medina
Medinatun Nabi (the city of the Prophet)
In my dreams I make my way to Medina
The home and chosen place
Of our beloved Prophet
Where all I feel is peace
And so much joy around
No better place for me, yeah!
Chorus:
Medina, Medina
Medinatun Nabi (the city of the Prophet)
Medina, Medina
That’s where I want to be
Medina, Medina
Medinatun Nabi
Medina, Medina
That’s where I want to be
Oh, oh, Medina Medina
Oh, oh, Medina Medina
I wake with the morning light in Medina
Everywhere I see blue skies
Set above these mountains
Bright colours fill the streets
A smile on every face
A special place for me, yeah!
CHORUS
Tala’al badru ‘alayna, min thaniyyatil wadaa’
Wajabash shukru ‘alayna, ma da’a lillahi daa’
Ayyuhal mab’uthu fina, ji’ta bil amril mutaa’
Ji’ta sharraftal Medina, marhaban ya khayra daa’
(The full Moon rose over us
From the valley of Wadaa’
And we owe it to show gratefulness
Whenever a caller prays to Allah
O you who were raised amongst us
Coming with the word to be obeyed
You have brought to Medina nobleness
Welcome, best caller to God’s way)

“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

The Power Lyrics:-
Masisondele, masisondele haha phila nocolo yelele
(Let us draw nearer to perfect peace in life)
Subhan’Allah, walhamdu lillah
(Glory be to Allah, and all praise be to Allah
La ilaha illa Allah, wa’Allahu Akbar
There is no god but Allah, and Allah is the Greatest)
You can say it once
Or a hundred times or more
You’ll feel at peace inside
And it’ll open every door
Chorus:
That’s the power of remembering Allah
It’s the best way to purify your heart
And know you will be loved by the Merciful One
‘Cause that’s the power of remembering Allah
Subhan’Allah, walhamdu lillah
(Glory be to Allah, and all praise be to Allah
La ilaha illa Allah, wa’Allahu Akbar
There is no god but Allah, and Allah is the Greatest)
So much you can gain
Just by saying those few words
You can renew your faith
And be showered in rewards
CHORUS
La ilaha illa Allah (x3)
(There is no god but Allah)
Subhan’Allah, walhamdu lillah wa’Allahu Akbar
(Glory be to Allah, all praise be to Allah, and Allah is the Greatest)
Masisondele kuy’uAllah
(We obey You Allah)
Ngokukhulu ukuzithoba
(With submission, we humble ourselves before You)
Sizothol’ ukuphila Noxolo
(So we may find peace and happiness)

Mawlaya – Lyrics:
Bu yürek hep senle varolur yalniz senle coşar
Dile gelse tüm şiirler söylenmemiş şarkilar
Yine bendeki aşki anlatamazlar asla
Senden uzak olan gönüller dolar yasla
Sen aldığım nefes duyduğum ses aşk-i heves
Sensiz karanliklar aydinliğa eremez
İki cihanda sensin alemler efendisi
Şefaat eyle asla yalniz birakma bizi
Sen beklenen müjdelenen en kutlu peygamber
Sen merhamet ve şefkatinle bizlere rehber
Aşkinla hep çarpan yürekler nuruna muhtaç
Sen ruhlarin tabibi gönüllere ilaç

Hasbi Rabbi (Live in Concert) – Sami Yusuf
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.

You & I – Lyrics:
You and I, we are the same
We win and lose in the game of life
You and I, we seek the truth
Looking for the signs in the Universe
In this journey we are companions
Struggling through what life throws our way
Chorus:
Why should a mother cry?
Why should a wife see her husband die?
Oh, tell me why do we have to fight?
Why don’t we try, just you and I?
Oh, why don’t we try?
You and I, we love our land
Protect our own against any harm
You and I dream of the day
When everybody will live in peace
In this journey we are companions
Struggling through what life throws our way
Chorus
Throughout history so many senseless wars
Yet we never learn, we’re building borders around us
But we still have a chance to heal our wounded world
Let’s get rid of hatred and see each other as we really are
Before it’s to late, who knows what tomorrow may bring
But without justice there’s no way that peace can exist

Lyrics:
Look around your self
Can’t you see this wonder
Spread in front of you
The clouds floating by
The sky so clear and blue
Planets in their orbits
The moon and the sun
Such perfect harmony
Let’s start questioning ourselves
Isn’t this proof enough for us
Or are we so blind to push it all aside
No, we just have to
Chorus:
Open our eyes, our hearts and minds
If we just look right, we’ll see the signs
We can’t keep hiding from the truth
And let it take us by surprise
Allah protect us in the best way
Allah guide us every single day
Allah keep us close to You
Until the end of time
Look inside your self
Such perfect order
Hiding in your cells
Running in your veins
What about anger, love, and pain?
And all the things you’re feeling
Can you touch them with your hand?
So are they really there?
Let’s start questioning ourselves
Isn’t this proof enough for us
Or are we so blind to push it all aside
No, we just have to
Chorus
When a baby is born
So helpless and weak
And you’re watching it growing
Why deny what’s in front of your eyes
The biggest miracle of life
We just have to
Chorus
Allah You created everything
We belong to You
Ya Rabb we raise our hands
Forever we thank You…
Allhamdulillah (Praise be to Allah)

If we just look right, we’ll see the signs
We can’t keep hiding from the truth
And let it take us by surprise
Allah protect us in the best way
Allah guide us every single day
Allah keep us close to You
Until the end of time
Look inside your self
Such perfect order
Hiding in your cells
Running in your veins
What about anger, love, and pain?
And all the things you’re feeling
Can you touch them with your hand?
So are they really there?
Let’s start questioning ourselves
Isn’t this proof enough for us
Or are we so blind to push it all aside
No, we just have to
Chorus
When a baby is born
So helpless and weak
And you’re watching it growing
Why deny what’s in front of your eyes
The biggest miracle of life
We just have to
Chorus
Allah You created everything
We belong to You
Ya Rabb we raise our hands
Forever we thank You…
Allhamdulillah (Praise be to Allah)

Lyrics:
ما زالَ الخيرُ ولن يُعدم
يجري داخِلَنا مجرى الدم
فلنتركْ أثراً في الدنيا
من يغرسْ خيراً لا يندم
يا الله
في هذا الصرحِ بنينا السّاس
يا الله
ليعمَّ الخيرُ لكُلِّ الناس
يا الله
ما أجملَهُ هذا الإحساس
يا الله يا الله
Ya Allah
We build it up, we set our base,
Ya Allah
Spread the love, every time and every place,
Ya Allah
Feel the joy, it’s all over the place,
Ya Allah, Ya Allah
Values that make life so sweet,
Lift us up, make us complete.
Plant them deep for generations,
Enhancing minds across the nations
