mercan dede - dream of shams

The inspiration for this song comes from the tragic 'El pozo amargo' (The Bitter Well) legend of Toledo, Spain. It recounts the heartbreaking love story of a Jewish girl and a brave Christian boy who is killed by the girl's father during one of their secret nocturnal encounters. According to the legend, Raquel cried so much that her tears made the well's water bitter. Distraught with grief, she ended her life by throwing herself down the well. 
Originally situated within a Jewish mansion, the well still survives today in a small square on 'El pozo amargo' Street near the Cathedral of Toledo. It was at this spot where the enamored couple, Raquel and Fernando, would secretly rendezvous and where their tragic love story became an enduring legend.

Tema inspirado en la trágica leyenda toledana de 'El pozo amargo'. Narra los desamores entre una judía toledana y un valiente cristiano, que es asesinado por el padre de ella en una de sus encuentros nocturnos. La leyenda cuenta que las lágrimas de Raquel amargaron las aguas de este pozo, donde ella acabó tirándose presa de la locura. 
Muy cerca de la catedral de Toledo se encuentra la calle de 'EL pozo amargo', donde todavía se conserva este pozo. Es el lugar donde se ubicaba el palacio judío escenario de la leyenda, donde se daban cita los enamorados Raquel y Fernando.

LYRICS/LETRAS

'Las sombras de tu vergel secreto escondieron los besos de labio y labio abiertos en flor 
Doncella de nobleza levita, si adoras a un cristiano más vale que silencies tu amor
La noche soñada en los jardines despista a los guardianes que velan tus paseos, Raquel
Tan solo la luna en su crecida conoce de tus dichas y el pozo en que le aguardas a el

Rosarios de auroras toledanas bendicen vuestra suerte y os vuelven descuidados tal vez
Luceros y estrellas pasajeras perfilan en el aire su entrega y tu desnudez
Y al alba de una noche certera partido de un abrazo por una daga criminal
La sangre templada de Fernando destila entre tus manos y anuncia su destino fatal

'En su agua calmaré
Este amargo dolor
Fernando, sálvame,
¿ya estás aquí, mi amor?'

Calvario de pena y desconsuelo te arranca de tu lecho en delirio y vas al pozo a llorar
Locura de hiel en tus sollozos derraman en su cauce el mal sabor de tu pesar
Asomas a la  fosa profunda, sus ojos te sonríen, serenos del perdón de Dios
Y cuentan cristianos de Toledo que aullando con el viento quebrada se escucha tu voz'

Come See What Love Has Done To Me

Burning, burning, I drift and tread.
Love spattered my body with blood.
I'm not in my senses nor mad,
Come, see what love has done to me.

Now and then like the winds I blow,
Now and then like the roads I go,
Now and then like the floods I flow,
Come, see what love has done to me.

Hold my hand, lift me from this place
Or take me into your embrace...
You made me weep, make me rejoice,
Come, see what love has done to me.

Searching, I roam from land to land, 
In all tongues I ask for the Friend. 
Who knows my plight where love is banned? 
Come, see what love has done to me.

Lovelorn, I tread; madly I scream. 
My loved one is my only dream; 
I wake and plunge into deep gloom. 
Come, see what love has done to me.

I'm Yunus, mystic of sorrow, 
Suffering wounds from top to toe; 
In the Friend's hands I writhe in woe. 
Come, see what love has done to me

~ Yunus Emre

Mercan Dede - Come see what love has done to me

San Francisco Bay Area based world music ensemble, Stellamara, travels to the Island of Crete and emerges with their new album, "The Golden Thread."  In collaboration with the European legends, Ross Daly and Kelly Thoma, and with NY-based cellist Rufus Cappadocia, "The Golden Thread" is immersed in otherworldly melodies, deep musical meditations, and astonishing improvisations. With her extraordinarily intricate, siren-like voice, Sonja Drakulich carries the listener on a journey into realms of beauty both deeply known and yet undiscovered. "The Golden Thread" travels beyond any derivations or trends in world music, diving deeply into a felt experience of the divine. This is Stellamara's third CD release, and it exceeds all expectations. It is a truly masterful creation.


Each masterful release by Stellamara has appeared years apart, but the treasures and rewards are well worth the wait. Led by the exquisitely gifted singer Sonja Drakulich, with her Hungarian and Serbian ancestry, this group runs on a feverish energy that always stops sufficiently short of frenetic, although they never lack intensity. Right from the start, the virtuoso playing of the members of Stellamara becomes ever-present, while the stellar interplay lends an even greater power to their wonderful web of sound. You'll find yourself wishing for an even stronger vocal emphasis if only because of the magnificent vehicle of vocal expression that Sonja possesses. Her voice is at a never-ending peak of clarity and luminosity, from soft, distant and tailing off into the night, to lively and ignited by fires that burn brightly within. At times she may bring to mind Lisa Gerrard, Loreena McKennit or Azam Ali, but the magnificent way she uses her voice is hers alone. There is no lack of power or presence in this intricately realized music, and those who favor Balkan, Medieval, Persian, Arabic, Greek, Turkish or Far Eastern music will find themselves captured quite easily in the free-flowing marvel that is created. Gari Hegedus has a repertoire that utilizes various Eastern modal systems, and he plays Oud, Baglama, and Mandocello proficiently, taking each passage to a soulful level of modern passion. Cellist Rufus Cappadocia, percussionist Tobias Roberson and clarinet player Peter Jaques join in the sublime magic, moving the music from evocative to inward while driven with a balance that is carefully maintained yet not controlled. Featured as well are two Lyra players (a small pear-shaped upright fiddle from Crete): Irish-born Ross Daly (who also plays Baglama, Divan Saz, Tarbu and African Rebab) and Kelly Thoma (she is also part of the group Labyrinth w/Daly). There is a deeply devotional sense to this music which ebbs and flows from faraway places and times, making for a listening experience that is quite remarkable and unforgettable.
