DESCRIPTION 

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, power, and intensely beautiful.

Performed live at the Opening Ceremony of the 43rd World Heritage Committee held at the Heydar Aliyev Center in Baku, Azerbaijan.

LYRICS & TRANSLATION 

Məndə sığar iki cahan, mən bu cahana sığmazam,
The two worlds are contained in Me
But I will not be contained in these worlds
I cannot be contained in being or in the engendered world
 
Gövhəri-laməkan mənəm, kövnü məkana sığmazam 
I am the Treasure* of no abode,
But I will not be contained in these worlds

Sami Yusuf - Nasimi

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


AZERI SECTION:

Girdim eşqin dəryasına, gəmim dolmadı,
Gənc yaşımda səni sevdim, mənim olmadın yar,
Gənc yaşımda səni sevdim, mənim olmadın.

Gəl, gəl, gəl, gözəlim, gəl,
Sevirəm səni.

Gəl, gəl, gəl, gözəlim, gəl,
Sevirəm səni.

Əgər qismətim olarsan,
Alaram səni.

Əgər qismətim olarsan,
Olaram sənin ah yar yar  

 Əgər qismətim olarsan,
Olaram sənin ah yar yar

Əgər qismətim olarsan,
Olaram sənin
