Lovers [Live at the Fes Festival of World Sacred Music]
Sami Yusuf, Traditional, Mawlana Jalal Ad-Din Rumi
In Andalucian morning light
In seas of azure, in dawning skies
I watch you bloom, the birth of spring
You are the song that all lovers sing
You are the key holding me in
I am a prisoner, I can’t escape
The key is inside the forms you take
You are the web I cannot spin
You are the pulse beneath my skin
You are the key holding me in
Lamma bada yatathanna
When I saw her sway
Aman aman aman aman
Oh mercy, mercy, mercy, mercy
Hibbi jamalu fatanna
My love’s beauty was captivating
Aman aman aman aman
Oh mercy, mercy, mercy, mercy
Wa'adi wa ya Hirati
Oh my fate and reason for my confusion
Man li rahimu shakwati...
Who could relieve my sufferings
Fil-Hubbi min law'ati
In love and torment
Illa maliku l-jamal
Except the King of Heaven?
Oh mercy, mercy, mercy, mercy
