Sami Yusuf - Fiyyashiyya #worldmusic #worldmusictraditions

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

Lyrics:

A humble slave I am of an almighty Lord
No work is too hard for that One who's adored
But though I'm a beggar who cannot afford
To claim any strength, sure and strong is my Lord

He says, where He wills, when He wishes a thing
Just "Be", and it is, by the might of a King
The ruler whose edicts and wise rulings bring
All blessings and grace by the might of a King

I haven't got the force
No strength between my sides
Why feel such remorse
When the Maker provides?

I haven't got the force
No strength between my sides
Why feel such remorse
When the Maker provides?

أنا عبد ربي له قدرة
يهون بها كل أمر عسير
فإن كنت عبدا ضعيف القوى
فربي على كل شيء قدير

مني أيش عليا و أنا عبد مملوك
و اﻷشياء مقضية ما في التحقيق شكوك
ربي نظر فيا و أنا نظري متروك
في اﻷرحام و اﻷحشاء من نطفة صورني

أنا ما لي فياش، أيش عليا مني
أقلق من رزقي لاش و الخالق يرزقني

اللهم صل على المصطفى، حبيبنا محمد عليه السلام

I'm safe in the shade of his all-knowing height
And no strength have I, His all power and might

So glory to God, his bounty shining bright
All gratitude and praise are His due and His right

He says, where He wills, when He wishes a thing
Just "Be", and it is, by the might of a King

The ruler whose edicts and wise rulings bring
All blessings and grace by the might of a King

I haven't got the force
No strength between my sides
Why feel such remorse when the Maker provides?

أنا مالي فياش, ايش عليا مني
أقلق من رزقي ليش و الخالق يرزقني ؟

اللهم صلِّ على المصطفى, حبيبنا مُحمَد عليه السلام
حبيبنا مُحمَد عليه السلام

[mustaphachak]

في ظلمة الارحام * صورني من نطفة * و بدا لي بالانعام * نعـم مـن كـل صفـا
و خلق لي ما و طعام * و نعايم مختلفة * و نزلت بغير قماش * غطاني و سترنـي
