Lyrics:
DON’T DESPAIR, DON’T LOSE HOPE
HOLD ON TO THAT ROPE
DON’T LET GO, DON’T LET GO
I HEAR YOUR CALL
THOUGH YOU FEEL SO COLD
ABANDONED AND ALONE
BUT DON’T LET GO, DON’T LET GO
I HEAR YOUR CALL
GIVE ME YOUR HAND MY BROTHER
I WILL NOT LET YOU GO
PLEASE DON’T LOOK BACK MY SISTER
I SWEAR I HEAR YOU CALL
GIVE ME YOUR HAND MY BROTHER
I WILL NOT LET YOU FALL
PLEASE DON’T LOOK BACK MY SISTER
‘CAUSE I SWEAR I HEAR YOUR CALL
LITTLE BOY ASK AWAY “WHERE ARE THE STREETS I USED PLAY TO?”
BUT DON’T LET GO, DON’T LET GO
I HEAR YOUR CALL
DON’T YOU KNOW WE’RE ONE
WHEN YOU HURT I HURT
DON’T LET GO, DON’T LET GO
I HEAR YOUR CALL
(URDU)
UMMEDON KO NA TODO
DO NOT LOSE HOPE
HATH MERA THAAM LO
HOLD MY HAND
TANHA NAHI SAMJHO TUM
DO NOT CONSIDER YOURSELF ALONE
MERE APNE TUM HO
WE ARE A FAMILY
GIVE ME YOUR HAND MY BROTHER
I WILL NOT LET YOU FALL
SO DON’T LOOK BACK MY SISTER

OSAM DZENNETA
Kom se Allah smiluje
njemu Džennet daruje
Ja Rahmanu i meni
makar jedan podari
Od bisera Džennet se
Dar’ul-dželal baš zove
od rubina crvenih
Daru’s-selam aman je.
Od zelenog dževhera
blista Džennetu’l-me’va
a od žutog korala
vas je Džennetu’l-hulda
A od srebra bijelog
eno Naim – Dženneta
u Džennetu’l-firdevsu
sve od crvenog’ zlata
Sav od miska miriše
Džennet-Qarar se piše
a u Džennetu’l-Adni
od zlata su kapije.
Izmeđ’ ovih kapija
put od petsto godina
nagrada je Božija
za pravoga Mu’mina
(REF.)
Sve ljepote Džennetske
samo Allah poznaje
eh da mi je Ja Rabbi
vidjet’ jednu kakva je.

This powerful new composition begins with the haunting and resonant vocalizations of Sami Yusuf,
then adds instrumental, rhythmic, and vocal layers to create an epic unison section
that evokes the many-faceted aspects of the arc of Azerbaijan’s history. This piece features
stunning vocal solos by Sevda Alekperzadeh, Tayyar Bayramov, Samira Aliyeva, and a beautiful tar solo
by Sahib Pashazade that leads into the majestic outro.
Written in Bayāt-e Shīrāz mugham, its sweeping melody is inspired by the story of this region
from its earliest times to its hopes for the future.

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

Ya Hayyu Ya Qayyum – 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.

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

Lyrics:
Ashaab e Muhammad haq ke wali, Abu-Bakar Umar Usmaan-o-Ali
Yaraan e Nabi mein sab se jali, Abu Bakar Umar Usmaan-o-Ali
They are the closest companions
Most high in rank is their station
Among the gems they were chosen
The first to build our foundation.
These four our Prophet did entrust
Through whom the truth would reach to us
The pillars of his ways and his love
The beacons of his light for all of us.
The stars who guide us through the night
Their path: it leads to paradise
They are the roots, we are the leaves
We are raindrops, they are the seas.
And when the Prophet left this world
No harder time for all it felt
Then strength was found when they stood tall
They lifted and firmly held his torch.
Indebted to them how we are
They went great lengths for this Ummah
Their vision was on times later
They sacrificed so much for us.

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

Lyrics:
DON’T DESPAIR, DON’T LOSE HOPE
HOLD ON TO THAT ROPE
DON’T LET GO, DON’T LET GO
I HEAR YOUR CALL
THOUGH YOU FEEL SO COLD
ABANDONED AND ALONE
BUT DON’T LET GO, DON’T LET GO
I HEAR YOUR CALL
GIVE ME YOUR HAND MY BROTHER
I WILL NOT LET YOU GO
PLEASE DON’T LOOK BACK MY SISTER
I SWEAR I HEAR YOU CALL
GIVE ME YOUR HAND MY BROTHER
I WILL NOT LET YOU FALL
PLEASE DON’T LOOK BACK MY SISTER
‘CAUSE I SWEAR I HEAR YOUR CALL
LITTLE BOY ASK AWAY “WHERE ARE THE STREETS I USED PLAY TO?”
BUT DON’T LET GO, DON’T LET GO
I HEAR YOUR CALL
DON’T YOU KNOW WE’RE ONE
WHEN YOU HURT I HURT
DON’T LET GO, DON’T LET GO
I HEAR YOUR CALL
(URDU)
UMMEDON KO NA TODO
DO NOT LOSE HOPE
HATH MERA THAAM LO
HOLD MY HAND
TANHA NAHI SAMJHO TUM
DO NOT CONSIDER YOURSELF ALONE
MERE APNE TUM HO
WE ARE A FAMILY
GIVE ME YOUR HAND MY BROTHER
I WILL NOT LET YOU FALL
SO DON’T LOOK BACK MY SISTER
‘CAUSE I SWEAR I HEAR YOUR CALL

Lyrics:
(Translation and transliteration):
Teri meri dastaan
Maa ki dhadkan se hui shuru
Dhoondhthi rahi
Teri nishaani
Mil gayi har jagah
mujhe pukarthi
Mere rooh ki aabroo
Mere nabz ki junoon
Khoon mein samatha
Oh Rabba ye
Sangeeth mera…sangeeth mera…Sangeeth mera
Sangeeth mera…
Raag bani tu baarish ki boondhon se
Dhun nikli tu hawa ke jhonkon mein
Taal sikhayi tu Aag ki tadpthi Lau se
Sur nikli tu Koyal ki Har geet mein
Basthe ho tum
Khilthi hui hassi mein
Dhabi hui aahon mein
Chootathi pasino mein
Mohabbat ki raah mein
Jaadu hain Nasha hain tu
Sangeeth mera…Sangeeth mera
Saare zamane ki ek zabaan tu
Aur Duniyan ki ekta hain tu
Mere lafzo ki bayaan bhi tu
Har taraf sirf tu hi tu
Mere rooh ki aabroo
Mere nabz ki junoon
Khoon mein samatha
Oh Rabba ye

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:
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)

Woh gaeye arsh tak aur rooh ul amin
Sidra tul muntaha dekte reh gaeye
Unko arzo sama dekte reh gaeye
Kiya khabar kis ko kab jaam e kauthar mila
Hum to unki ada dekte reh gaaye
Unko arzo sama dekte reh gaeye
Nek-o-bad par hua unka yaksan karam
Log acha bura dekte reh gaaye
Unko arzo sama dekte reh gaeye
Ho ke gum ey Naseer unke jalwon mein hum,

DESCRIPTION:
Composer Sami Yusuf’s mastery of musical languages dazzles in ‘L’Amour Vivant’.
The initial movement unfolds within the intricate geometry of the Baroque style,
a form that was imprinted on the composer’s soul during his upbringing in London
and that remains a cherished inspiration. From the start we hear the subtle
meeting of musical paths in the Arabic baladi rhythm that underlies the graceful melody.
The transition into the second movement transports the listeners to the heart of Sami Yusuf’s
other musical heritage, immersing them in the Central Asian Azerbaijani world.
The third movement revisits the Baroque sound before incorporating
the rich tonalities and nuanced rhythms of the Middle East and Persia,
seamlessly blending them into a sweeping soundscape.
The meditative sounds of the West African kora and the sensuous tones of the Chinese erhu then follow.
The final movement acts as a love letter to the world classical traditions encapsulated here,
skillfully weaving together the myriad emotions experienced throughout this journey in sound.
‘L’Amour Vivant’ is one of Sami Yusuf’s compositions from the second concert of his ‘When Paths Meet’ series.
It features The Sami Yusuf Ensemble, The Scoring Orchestra of Paris, The Métaboles,
and stellar soloists and specialist musicians in a stunning collaboration.
‘L’Amour Vivant’ is classical crossover at its most innovative.
Performed at the Paris Philharmonic.
