Salaam

Tracklist + Liner Notes

1. Salaam

   I dream for a day
   When there’ll be
   No more misery
   When there’s no more hunger
   No need for shelter
   Isn’t there enough to share?
   Or is that we just don’t care?
   We’re here for a day or two
   Let me show my way

   Salaamu alaik, salaamu alaik, salaamu alaikum
   Peace be upon you, peace be upon you, peace be with you all

   I pray for a day
   When there’ll be
   Justice and unity
   When we put aside our differences
   Fighting makes no sense
   Just a little faith to make it a better place
   We’re here for a day or two
   Let me show my way

   Salaamu alaik, salaamu alaik, salaamu alaikum
   Peace be upon you, peace be upon you, peace be with you all

   Salaamu alaikum ya ahl al-salaam
   Peace be with you, o people of peace

   Salaamu alaikum
   Peace be with you all

   Salaamu alaika sayyid al-kiram
   Peace be upon you, o master of the generous

   Salaamu alaikum
   Peace be with you all

   Let me show my way [x6]

   Salaamu alaikum, alaikum, alaikum [x6]
   Peace be with you all, peace be with you all

   Let me show my way, show my way
   Show my way, show my way

2. Smile

   To see you smile
   give it all away

   Sight of your smile
   so pure and wide
   just like the moon in the sky
   shining so bright
   you give me strength
   you give me life
   give everything do anything
   whatever it’ll take, to see your smile

   I know that i don’t deserve you
   and my life has meaning ’cause of you
   give it all away to see your smile
   i know that i don’t deserve you
   every song i sing has always been for you
   give it all away, to see your smile

   Sight of your smile
   so pure and wide
   as you welcome me back into your arms
   tell me i’ve wronged but it’s alright, it’s alright

   The only thing i need in life is you
   so lost and frustrated far from you
   your love is what makes it all worthwhile
   give everything away, anything for your smile

   When i’m away
   far from your side
   i watch the clouds
   come and go in the cold night sky
   they start to play
   they come to life
   and from the dark the moon appears
   just like your smile she shines her light

   I know that i don’t deserve you
   and my life has meaning ’cause of you
   give it all away to see your smile
   i know that i don’t deserve you
   every song i sing has always been for you
   give it all away, to see your smile

   To see you smile
   give it all away

   Shatamuhu lamma jahiluh
   They insulted him when they didn’t know him

   Tabi’uhu lamma arafu hudah
   They became his followers when they truly knew him

   What a shame, what they say

   Tabi’uhu lamma arafu hudah
   They became his followers when they truly knew him

   Where are you in my dreams?
   You feel so close but so far
   When all i want is to see
   Your face in front of me

   You make me chase around
   Shadows in the moonlight
   Only for the sunrise
   To open my eyes

   Makes me jump to my feet
   Walk around the city streets
   Hoping that I’ll find you
   By my side.

   Then I feel your sunlight
   Beautiful and so bright
   Feeling I’m in your arms
   For a while

   Hours pass like a breeze
   Moving through the palm trees
   Hand in hand you and me
   With your smile

   It makes no difference either way
   It’s a game they’re always going to play

   They’re always going to play

6. To Guide You Home

   Thirsty as a desert’s pain
   I miss your touch like pouring rain
   When clouds come in they cry all night
   And give me tears to fill my eyes
   The footprints that you left have stayed
   Above the sand beneath the waves
   Long after time has let them go
   I’ll wait for tides to guide you home

   Dizzy as the tea i brew
   My mind stirs round with thoughts of you
   And like the melting sugar cubes
   You disappeared and left me to
   Your face and form is all i see
   In silhouettes of scolding steam
   At night the kitchen candles glow
   And shine a light to guide you home

   (Azeri:)
   Küçələrə su səpmişəm
   I have thrown water into the street

   Yar gələndə toz olmasin
   My beloved is coming, so there must not be dust

   Elə gəlsin, elə getsin
   Let her come, let her go

   Aramizda söz olmasin
   But let there not be words between us

   Far away and all alone
   I trust in stars to guide you home

7. Wherever You Are (Acoustic English Version)

   My best times
   Were when I felt close to you
   But everything fell apart
   The moment I strayed from you

   In each smile
   In every single sigh
   Every minute detail
   Traces of you are found there

   Wherever you are I’ll find you
   Cause you’re the one I turn to
   Wherever you be I’ll be with you
   Cause you’re the one my heart is to
   I need you

   To see your smile
   I would pass every trial
   Desperately I await
   For the day when I’m by your side

   Wherever you are I’ll find you
   Cause you’re the one I turn to
   Wherever you are I’ll follow you
   Cause you’re the one I turn to
   Wherever you be I’ll be with you
   Cause you’re the one my love is to
   My love is to

   In every minute detail,
   Traces of u are found there,
   In every step that I take,
   My longing becomes so clear…
   I’ll follow you anywhere,
   I’ll overcome every fear,
   Anything just to be near, To be near.
   To be near.

   Wherever you may be
   I’ll follow till I see
   In my heart you will be
   Your love is all I need

   In every single smile
   Every single sigh
   Every minute detail
   Traces of you are there

   Wherever you may be
   I will search till we meet
   In my heart you will be
   Your love is all I need

   Wherever you may be

8. Dryer Land

   Just a little time
   Till i come to shore
   Somewhere that i’ve seen
   But never been before

   I am driftwood now
   I am homeward bound
   Pull me from the sea
   Save what’s left of me
   ‘Cause i’m tired and worn
   From the tides and storms

   So forgive my wrongs

   I am driftwood now
   I am homeward bound
   Pull me from the sea
   Save what’s left of me
   ‘Cause i’m tired and worn
   From the tides and storms
   And i made my plans
   Back on dryer land

   So forgive my wrongs

   Loss has helped me find
   Blessings in disguise
   Showed me where they hide
   Opened up my eyes

   I am driftwood now
   I am homeward bound
   Pull me from the sea
   Save what’s left of me
   ‘Cause i’m tired and worn
   From the tides and storms

   So forgive my wrongs

   I am driftwood now
   I am homeward bound
   Pull me from the sea
   Save what’s left of me
   ‘Cause i’m tired and worn
   From the tides and storms
   And i made my plans
   Back on dryer land

14. Without You (Acoustic Arabic Version)

    Softly you called to me
    Out from the space between
    Out from eternity
    Where love winds a path unseen
    Out of the wilderness
    You beckoned my every step
    I stumbled sometimes and yet
    I never once looked back
    ‘cause i would see
    The man i know i used to be
    How i was lost before you reached for me
    And i don’t know
    Where i would go
    What i would do
    Without you

    (Arabic:)
    Kamithli qalbin baiyyna nabdataiyyn
    Just like a heart between beats
    Uhisu la shaiyy’a kama tara
    I would feel nothing you see
    Idha haramtani minna-rrida
    If you took your love from me
    La adri ma jadawa-lhayat
    I don’t know what more would life mean
    La sawfa tajri akhirul-anfaas
    I’d use my final breath
    Li antiqa ismukal-aliyy wal-adheem
    To call out your name and let
    Wa ursilal-anfaas fi-nnaseem
    That breath upon the breeze
    Tasa’du mithla qublatin ilaiyyk
    Rise like a kiss to thee

    So you might see
    Just what your love has meant to me
    And what the cost of losing you would be
    No i don’t know
    Where i would go or what i’d do
    Without you
    My heart won’t beat
    Without your love in me
    My eyes won’t see
    Beauty without thee
    Loves melody that you put in me
    Would lead me to only
    Silence without you
    ‘cause i would see
    The man i know i used to be
    How i was lost before you reached for me
    No i don’t know
    Where i would go
    What i would do
    Without you

16. Wherever You Are (Acoustic Farsi Version)

    My best times
    Were when I felt close to you
    But everything fell apart
    The moment I strayed from you
    In each smile
    In every single sigh
    Every minute detail
    Traces of you are found there

    Wherever you are I’ll find you
    Cause you’re the one I turn to
    Wherever you be I’ll be with you
    Cause you’re the one my heart is to
    I need you

    (Farsi:)
    Bi To Khaste, Bi To Del-Beshkaste
    Without you I’m exhausted, without you I’m heartbroken

    Ey Eshghe Javidan, Bi To Man Sargardan
    O the Eternal Love! Without you I’m lost

    Har Koja Hasti, Man Hastam
    Wherever you are, I am too

    Tanha Be To Del Bastam
    I’ve tied my heart only to you

    Har Koja Bashi, Aanjayam
    Wherever you be, I’m just there

    Ey Hame Khaab O Ro’yayam
    O all of my reverie and dreams!

    Ro’yayam
    [O] my dream!

    Dar Koochektarin Zarraat
    In the smallest particles,

    Peyda Misheh Aasaaret
    Your traces are found

    Har Ghadami Bardaaram
    By taking each step,

    Fekre To Dar Sar Daaram
    I have thoughts of you in my mind

    Har Koja O Har Nokte
    Everywhere and always,

    Man Dar Peye To Hastam
    I’m seeking you,

    Ta Sooye To Baaz Ayam
    To come back to you

    Baaz Ayam
    To come back

    Har Koja Ke Bashi, Ayam Ta Binamat
    Wherever you may be, I’ll come to see you

    Dar Ghalbe Man Hasti, Mohtajam Bar Eshghat
    You are in my heart, I am in need of your love

    Dar Har Labkhande Paak, Aahi Ke Too Sinehaast
    In each pure smile, in every sigh inside the hearts,

    Dar Zarraate Hasti, Aasaare To Peydast
    In the details of existence, your traces are clear

    Har Koja Ke Bashi, Khaham Aamad Sooyat
    Wherever you may be, I’ll come to you

    Dar Ghalbe Man Hasti, Mohtajam Bar Eshghat
    You are in my heart, I am in need of your love

17. Dryer Land II (feat. Ustadh Babak Radmanesh)

    Just a little time
    Till i come to shore
    Somewhere that i’ve seen
    But never been before

    I am driftwood now
    I am homeward bound
    Pull me from the sea
    Save what’s left of me
    ’cause i’m tired and worn
    From the tides and storms

    So forgive my wrongs

    I am driftwood now
    I am homeward bound
    Pull me from the sea
    Save what’s left of me
    ’cause i’m tired and worn
    From the tides and storms
    And i’ve made my plans
    Back on dryer land

    So forgive my wrongs

    (Farsi:)
    To ey khodaye

    Oh light of faith

    Be to roo kardam
    For i turn to you

    Ba chashme geryan
    With eyes full of tears

    Man bi to hicham
    I am nothing without you

    Abre baranam
    I am the cloud of pouring rain

    Door az yaranam
    Far from my loved ones

    Nothing

    I am driftwood now
    I am homeward bound
    Pull me from the sea
    Save what’s left of me

    (Farsi:)
    Namandeh taghat
    I have no more patience

    Dar jesm o janam
    In my body and soul

    Bebakhsh az rahmat
