English Translation:

Ishq hai khuda ki pehchan
(Love is the depiction of God)
Farishton ka hai yeh bayaan
(It is the discourse of the Angels)
Ishq se zameen asman
(Love holds the sky and the earth within)

Asheqi angar ki birai 
( If love is a Fire )
Mashooq gulsambar ki birai
(If beloved is a spring-flower) 
Haseen parchamdar ki birai
(With soft and beautiful leaflets)

Ishqa se pului behchurey
(A lover will rejoice buring in the fire of love ) 
Hamish tan burui behchurey
His soul will always keep melting with it.
Hardi beer ului behchurey
(His Heart will keep flying )

Jale Mora Man
(My heart burns)
More sajan 
(O beloved!)
Rasta na Koi 
(There is no way out)
Main hui birhan 
(I am a shattered being)

Haye yeh majburi
(O this helplessness)
Kaisi hai duri 
(Why is there a separation?)
Dastaan yeh kaisi 
(Why this story end up like this ?)
Reh gayi adhuri
(Why we have become partitioned)

Ishq hai khuda ki pehchan
(Love is the depiction of God)
Farishton ka hai yeh bayaan
(It is the discourse of the Angels)
Ishq se zameen asman
(Love holds the sky and the earth within)

Jungle'a shotara asum
( I am wondering in Jungle and deserts )
Umeed aitbara asum
(Surviving in the hope and trust of you ) 
Nishi intizara asum
( I am waiting with a conviction)

Jale mora man 
Mere sajan
Rasta na koi 
Main hui birhan

Hoi khyo ta posheen 
( The time I saw you ) 
hardiyo bateen 
(Oo the beat of my heart)
Ma hush hoi boteen
( My senses have been tied ) 
Harush tu haseen 
(That is how charismatically beautiful you are)

Ta choom hosik, bo zalim, 
(Your witty smile is cruel inside)
Ta choom hosik, ma bo khosh,
( Oh your smile, the most loveable thing ) 
Ta roi marik, ma bo khosh ta choom hosik
(People die over it and I love are way you smile )

Constantinople est un ensemble musical qui a choisi de faire du voyage son fondement – voyage géographique, historique, culturel, intérieur –, de s’abreuver à toutes les sources et de viser les horizons lointains. Empruntant son nom à l’ancienne cité phare éclairant l’Orient et l’Occident, l’ensemble a été imaginé comme un espace de rencontres et de métissages par son directeur artistique Kiya Tabassian et fondé en 1998 à Montréal.

Constantinople is a musical ensemble that chose the journey—geographical certainly, but also historical, cultural and inner—as its cornerstone. It draws inspiration from all sources and aims for distant horizons. Inspired by the ancient city illuminating the East and West, Constantinople was founded in 1998 in Montreal by its artistic director, Kiya Tabassian.
