TRANSLATION AND MEANING: Andre my man love from Pakistan 🇵🇰 and Thank you. For you and other listeners - It is almost impossible to capture the emotion of this song in any other language and originally it is much longer. But it is a soul shaking experience to listen to this while understanding the context and meaning, here is a rough english translation and my attempt at explaining the context of the excerpt used here: SANSON KI MALA PE SIMRUUN MAIN PI KA NAAM I bead my beloved's name on the garland of my breaths (with every breath I take, I take His/Her name to adorn myself in the most beautiful garland made of His/Her name) PREM KE RUNG MEIN AISE DOBI BUN GAYA AIK HE ROOP In the color of love, I drowned myself in such a way that we became one (enthralled in His/Her love to a point that the two of us are indistinguishable) PREM KI MAALA JAPTE JAPTE AAP BANI MEIN SHAYAAM Beading the garland of love my beloved's name I myself became God (SHAYAM) (in pursuit of this love I forgot about my own physical and spiritual existence) PREETAM KA KUCH DOSH NAHI HAI, WO TO HAI NIRDOSH My beloved is not guilty He is innocent he is blemish less (Do not blame Him/Her for my transgressions and claims, he/she is the most pure) APNE AAP SE BAATEIN KER KE HOO GAYI MEIN BADNAAM It is by talking to myself that I got a bad repute , bad name (from what you see, people are justified to think I am insane) JEEVAN KA SHINGAR HAI PREETAM, MAANG KA HAI SINDOOR My beloved is the beautification and adornment of life and vermilion in my hair (His/Her glory is unmatched, and beyond your comprehension - he/she exists in all things beautiful and is my pride) PREETAM KI NAZROON SE GIR KER JEENA HAI KISS KAAM If fallen from the eyes of my beloved, what is the point of living then (His/Her approval is all that I need, do not care about any of you/ anything else) SANSON KI MALA PE SIMRUUN MAIN PEE KA NAAM I bead my beloved's name on the garland of my breaths (with every breath I take, I take His/Her name to adorn myself in the most beautiful garland made of His/Her name)
Most people will not realise Andre's genius behind this arrangement. He literally recomposed the song to fit into the western musical lingua, while preserving the eastern essence and distilled the best of both traditions.
It's not written by mirabai why y'all believing some priest with no evidence. It's written by Tufail Hoshiarpuri. Search his ghazal by the title "Sanson ki mala pe simrun me nis-din ka naam"
@@AbrEBaraan "संसन की माला पे" (हिंदी: सामा Mam कीली; "सांसों की माला पर") एक हिंदी भक्ति कविता है जिसे लिखा गया है Mirabai 16 वीं शताब्दी में। यह कई में से एक है bhajans उसने सम्मान में लिखा भगवान कृष्ण। इसे बाद में एक गीत के रूप में फिर से लिखा गया और इसके द्वारा प्रदर्शन किया गया नुसरत फतेह अली खान 1979 में अपनी शादी के दौरान भारत की पहली यात्रा के दौरान ऋषि कपूर।[1][2] यह गीत अक्सर हिंदू भक्ति सभाओं में गाया जाता है। Go and verify on wikipedia too! Tufail just made it sound like Song.Original is Meerabai!!!
Escuchate "Hamd (Louange à Dieu)" de Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan (28:49 min), o "Az Hoosne Malihe Khud" de Sabri Brothers. 19:31 min. Con buenos auriculares, son verdaderos viajes.
In Tokyo 1988 when he sang, the Japanese audience was so overpowered by Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan they said this was the "Singing Buddha" This metal version is really awesome 👌
SONGFACT #2: she is known to be the epitome of devotion to the supreme lord. Being an ardent Krishna devotee this "Bhajan" aptly conveys her love for the "Krishna-ALL ATTRACTIVE".
Happy Diwali. Never have I heard such an original remix of Nusrat before, this is mind blowing. Nusrat collaborated with many artists and produced Qawwali in pop genres to spread the music and message. He would be so proud of this. Please do more remixes. Love from England.
Sir it would be so nice to read if you give a little more respect to the legend by writing 'Ustad' before his name , or by simply writing 'Nusrat sahab'. Love from India 🙏💙
That is strange. I just heard this absolute masterpiece few days ago and I was blown by this man's voice. It also remainded me of spanish flamenco singing, but the music itself has some Balkan vibes (chords progressions, for example) . It's just mindblowing that Andre managed to put some Pantera in this melody, and yet it all sounds so natural and like integral version of this song. The best thing I've heard in many years. Thanks to mr. Khan, the lady who wrote lyrics all those centuries ago and to you, Andre, for this musical delight. Music is, obviously, universal language. And thank you, algorithm,for bringing me here.
Nusrat was a powerhouse, but the other vocalist was unbelievable. Those sustained notes and micro notes, and inflections were divine. I have never heard anything like it before. Blown away.
This guy is from Pakistan but we Indians loved him like he was our own . Pakistan and India have had issues in past but damn they have good musicians. I am happy for you discovered him inspite of being a non Hindi speaker . You also did justice to this song .
hey there, i am from Pakistan. India and Pakistan are neighbors and both people want to live peacefully its just politics and army does not want us to live in harmony, i hope things get better in future
@@Pit_Lord Right. Metal and other kinds of rock music are mostly based on simple riffs and usually have no melody for vocals (some vocal parts have only one note). And the same can be told about folk music. One simple traditional riff can have an infinite number of lyrics variations. A real song has a melody and meaningful lyrics while sung couplets don't.
@@goofy5607 I wanted to like them but it just didn't float my boat. Thanks for the recommendation though, I'm always interested in hearing interesting music
Firstly it is a spiritual hymn written by a great Indian devotee Meera Bai to her lord (Lord Shri Krishna), then it is sung by legendary Pakistani singer Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan Sahab, that too in the form of a qawwali. And now in the modern age of heavy metal music its remixed version is truly a mesmerizing example of it. Truly music has no boundaries, it is free from any bondage.
I've been on youtube since 2005 and this is the first time I've left a comment. This is a musical masterpiece, I listened to it the day it was posted and have listened to it every day since. You somehow took a non-western piece of music, based on beautiful 16th century hindu mystic poetry, and made it digestible to ears accustomed to western music, without losing the eastern aspects of it. My girlfriend is from Pakistan, and obviously speaks Urdu/Hindi/etc, and when I asked her to translate it she tries her best, but says a lot of it can't even be properly expressed in English. But even from the basic translation she's given me it's one of the most beautiful things I've ever heard in my life. I don't see how this can ever be topped, I don't use the term masterpiece lightly, this is perfection, the fact that you were able to so naturally combine these two styles into a beautiful symphony blows me away. I've been a musician my entire life and have listened to nusrat fateh ali khan for a few years now, and knowing the original recordings I could have never imagined it presented this way, and certainly could have never done this myself.
yes its a beautiful piece though it is not hindu mystic origin. it traditional sufi style origin afghani/pakistani islamic turkish origin. rock on piece!
@@sanguine9031 The original poem was by the hindu mystic poet Mirabai, and was about her devotion to lord Krishna, written in the early 1500s if I remember correctly. But yes the song/music is qawwali and the style is sufi, but the lyrics themselves were originally about Krishna. They were able to take that poem and apply it to Allah instead of Krishna.
SONGFACT: this song is not written by the singer himself. This is actually a hindu devotional poetry written by Meera Bai, 16th century poet in India. She is known to be the epitome of devotion to the supreme lord. Being an ardent Krishna devotee this "Bhajan" aptly conveys her love for the "Krishna-ALL ATTRACTIVE". Not to even mention Nusrat is one of the very few artists on the planet that could have done true justice to the depth and gist of it as intended by Meera Bai.
Every time you demonstrate you're part of the class of musicians who don't just cover (which is fine don't get me wrong), but you synthesize something entirely incredible while still being seriously complimentary to the source material. Juliaplaysgroove is another who comes to mind, imo.
That's why I love them. Other than the "Karen" videos, these are a beautifully respectful reinterpretation of interesting music around the world. I have gone on from these videos to look at the regional music of each area....like a personal music appreciation course.
That’s the difference between Andre and, say, Leo Moracchioli. Leo always sounds like he’s he’s just having fun and kidding around (nothing wrong with that, again), but Andre sounds like he takes the stuff he covers very seriously.
The slide and distortion of a metal guitar just lends itself so PERFECTLY to the discreet note structure of Indian AND Pakistani folk music. This isn't a meme of a joke. It's a genuine fusion discovery. Thank you for doing it with such respect.
I am a die hard fan of Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan Sahab and this song is one my favs. But this composition is now my forever "get up and fight back" song. So energizing. This is like best of both worlds.
@@eccehomonohomo So this song was originally written by Mirabai in 16th century. She was a great devotee of Lord Krishna, so much that he became the love of her life and this song is dedicated to him. In this she is saying that "I bead the name of my beloved in garland of my breath" (rough translation)
I've never heard of this singer/song before, I mean I live in Europe.. but since this video came out, I'm regularly coming to hear this masterpiece, even though I don't understand language I can feel great emotion, amazing
@@stewiepid4385 thanks to Gandhi, jinnah and muslim league. buggers had zero contribution in freedom movement but happily revolted for a separate state ! while the one man who solely brought the freedom Subhash chandra bose was sidelined all through out !!
Please try to cover INTENSE Sufi songs like these over a course of a year .So that I can listen to them for the rest of my life n die peacefully . Because this is EPIC !!! God bless you ! Thank you ❤️❤️❤️
I've just stumbled upon something i didn't even know i needed in my life. As a person coming from a rock background, the mix of the two cultures and types of music take it to a new epic level of excellence. The singing is absolutely superb, the playing likewise, the two together are just magnificent

I had no other way to thank this other than support you, I didn't knew i needed a full qawwali sounding metal album till this song came out, been listening to this since it came out and never get tired of!
You couldn't have done this without understanding the lyrics first. How could you literally uplift and deepen the strength of emotion this qawali originally emits. Not only does it sound augmented, but every note is rightfully inserted and connects, both musically and with its natural spirit. Job well done.

The new System of a Down album fucking SLAPS. Their best work yet. (I'm not racist, i know they're Armenian. You can't say this doesn't kind of sound like them)
I've been on anti-depressants for a long time, so I don't get emotional too easily. But man, every time I listen to this song I get goosebumps and try hard not to cry, it's like I experience a sudden rush of emotions. Thanks a lot Andre for creating this masterpiece. And of course big respects for ustads Nusret Fateh Ali Khan & Farrukh Fateh Ali Khan, may them rest in peace, and to Atta Fareed and all other ustads up on stage with them.
@@hasnainyunus1460 no no I know Pakistani music I'm from Punjab (India) myself. NFAK is my favourite artist. Just that I didn't hear him with metal before and it's phenomenal. Didn't think he could be elevated, but this definitely did elevate the experience that NFAK is
@@KeremcanBuyuktaskin although he ain't so popular like other Qawwals , in current generation it's Rahat Fateh Ali Khan (nephew of NFAK) , Rahat is there in another video of NFAK that Andre remixed , (Dum Mustt Mustt)
OMG in 1993 I was a writer on my college newspaper and I interviewed NFAK after he performed a Qawwali concert on campus. What an amazing night. It was basically metal without having to have metal. The most amazing part was when people would get up, run up on stage (in a big fancy theater) and make it rain on the singers! After the show there were thousands of bills lying on the stage. It was the most exciting event I’d ever been to. Andre, every single time you create a video, you add goodness to what was already there. You are the best.
@@mariumqadir686 I wish I had! I just took tons of notes and write it up. I kept a physical copy of the paper but after several moves (and 30 years later) I don’t think I know where it is anymore. I should go through my old stuff again to see if I could find it. It truly felt like I was interviewing the likes of Paul McCartney or something. This was also at the height of his collaborations with Peter Gabriel and Real World Records.

Absolutely incredible. There are hundreds of hours recorded music by Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan. You could literally create an entire album with your talent. I’d pay for that, 100%. Keep up the great work.

The Pakistani singer is no more with us but Nusrat sahab is was and will forever be an institution of Hindustani classical music and ghazal. He is worshipped in the subcontinent. Pakistan, Bangladesh, Nepal and India alike.
I am not sure if Andre himself knows what he has done. Man! You have nailed it. You made a masterpiece out of a masterpiece. Just love you ❤ Nusrat Sahib + Metal. Whoooooo. Man… I can listen to this for hours on repeat.
I think that folk music and metal music are linked by high emotionality. that's why the combination of both comes out so natural and beautiful. respect for the author for noticing this potential
Warhol was a cheap, insipid coke head. Don't do my man Andre like that. Andre is an absolute genius. His arrangements and metal renditions of folk music is just superhuman.
Insane!As a teenager and in early 20s, I was a huge fan of metal and Indian classical music. Over the years, the constant bombardment of mediocre music on the radio and internet dulled my musical senses. Now at 38, listening to this song has rekindled my passion for both metal and Indian classical music.
Yea no kidding, i went on a info hunt to find all about the song and the singer yesterday. Any other songs by him that you would reccomend in a similar vein?

⭐️ Andre you have answered my prayers . As a Pakistani who loves both qawwali and metal - you have perfectly remixed my favourite song and I love you eternally for that . THANK YOU
Qawwali music is so perfect for metal. It’s a beautiful form of music to begin with. It’s deeply spiritual makes me so happy to see I’m not the only westerner who appreciates it.

That is so far beyond epic, I don't have the superlatives to describe it. Sounds incredibly fitting, and proves we should all listen to more Pakistani folk music. Amazing.
This is Andre's most beautiful cover. The source music has depth and a harmonic structure perfectly suited to metal. This is an emotional masterpiece. More like this please.
This is one of the most incredible things I ever heard, I discovered it recently and been listening to it almost everyday. There are no words that can describe the wonder that you created here. Thank you for making this masterpiece. Cheers!
Lyrics of Meera Bai (a Hindu and one of the greatest devotees of lord Krishna) are Sung by Ustaad Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan (a Muslim and One Of the greatest Hindi/urdu Singers of all times) and Remixed by Andre Auntunes (a Portuguese Guitarist giving this Bhajan/kawali/song reincarnation) And We All Love this Blend Of Different eras, Cultures. ❤️❤️
Do you have any source linking it to Meera Bai. Would love to know. As far as I know, it is a Ghazal written by Tufail Hoshiarpuri since it was included in his book (Soch Mala)
@@syedmahdi82 en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sanson_Ki_Mala_Pe and Just read The Lyrics man why would Hoshyarpuri Try Become "Shyama" (lord Krishna). You know what I have seen A lot of Oversmart stupidity but you sir you take the cake 😂
Love from India for you and my Pakistani brothers & sisters. Asian sub-continent is proud of such legends like Nusrat and when people like Andre do justice with their art, it's just overwhelming. Thank you so much for this.
This is one of many Devotional Bhajan Written by Lady Mira Bai for his Beloved God Krishna in 16th century. Pakistani lsIamists think Nusrat phateh Ali created this Bhajan, but No. He just composed it in 1979. अपने मन की मैं जानू और पी के मन की राम, सांसों की माला पर लिख दू, पी का नाम। No Urdu, No Arabi, No Farsi. It's in Hindi.
@@Edward4Plantagenetwhere's your evidence to that claim? It's not written by mirabai. This urdu/hindi wasn't even a thing when she was alive. It's actually written by Tufail Hoshiarpuri in his book Soch Mala with the title "Sanson ki mala pe simrun nis-din pi ka naam"
Sanson Ki Mala Pe: Literally- On the rosary of breath) is a bhajan originally sung by Meerabai (c. 1498 - c. 1557 AD), a Rajput princess and a Hindu mystic from Rajasthan in praise of Lord Krishna. The song has been sung by many famous artists, and is one of the most popular songs of legendary vocalist, Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan and was first played by Khan when he first visited India in 1979.
Classical music is also metal but without electricity. LOVE YOU Andre. I don't know if you'll ever realize what a masterpiece you have created. It's very hard for people to swallow that something this good could be done with his voice. Mostly people end up destroying the art Nusrat wants to convey. On the other hand seeing your creativity, it seemed like it was meant to be. From the bottom of my heart ,Thank You. LOVE FROM INDIA
The gentleman on vocals and harmonium from 2:33 seems to be Ustad Atta Fareed. What a voice, good lord. Your guitars atop that section are uplifting to say the least. Thank you for this rendition.
It's hijaz or nahawand *scale "maqam in arabic"* middle eastern scales that are really sad and melodic that is the most used scale for egyptian songs especially old ones and in quran too‚ you can hear more of it in egyptian singers but that's gonna be in Arabic something like um kulthum.. and in english there is tamino
Just incredible! Ustad Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan is a goldmine. This arrangement is fantastic. Sufi, jazz. metal and folk music sound very different but are based on similar playful melodies and honest expressions of emotion - they work really well together! Sufi and rock/metal go especially well with each other!
You’re bringing together the two music genres I love that I thought were two separate ends of a spectrum, AND you are doing it so well. You are a blessing. Thank you Andre ❤
I grew up listening to Irish and American folk music. Later I fell in love with Metal and Hardcore. If you look at the lyrics to a lot of folk songs, they’re quite sad and dark. I’ve always dreamed of hearing those old sad, dark ballads made into metal songs.
Man- wherever it happens, metal is to oral tradition as the sword is to the Hammer. Oral tradition was made before to pass down The Way- and relied on the basic rythmm. Our hearts. It's literally a steady, driving rythm. Perfect for memory, dance, and unifying a group. Foundational Metal and rock drumming follows the same principals- building rythmms and delivering on the heart steady downbeat. Headbanging is unavoidable for a reason.
OMG, my Dad (God rest his soul) was from Pakistan. This was incredible and captured the emotion of the song perfectly. The axe in the hands of a righteous man makes a holy sound unto the Lord.
2:34 onwards ... Atta Fareed is criminally underrated. this turned out the most amazing one you have done so far... because this style of music is always perfect with a heavy music.
This is music that goes beyond goosebumps, it goes to your heart... I don't know much about Pakistani culture or religion, yet I just started crying at 3:50.. Thank you for bringing people together through music Greetings from Mexico.
Appreciate your universal message, but I must point out that there is no such thing as "Pakistani" culture or religion. Pakistan is a 20th century state carved out of the homeland of various ancient Indian ethnicities like Punjabi, Sindhi, Kashmiri etc. on the basis of Islamic separatism. Converted Indians of various others regional ethnicities from the rest of India also migrated to West Pakistan and East Pakistan (Bangladesh) at the time of partition in 1947, and also later. They are known as "Mujahirs" in current Pakistan. The state religion of Pakistan, Islam, is a foreign ideology that entered the Indian subcontinent via violent imperialism about a 1000 years ago. The material culture in Pakistan, however, continues to be a mishmash largely of Indian classical culture and regional folk traditions native to north and northwest India. In the last 75 years, the state of Pakistan has managed to more or less wipe out the native faiths (Hinduism, Sikhism, Buddhism) and languages (Punjabi, Sindhi, Kashmiri, Pashto etc.) in favour of Islam and Urdu (an Arabized, Persianized version of a native North Indian vernacular that was used as court language during the brutal Islamic rule of India). Even this very song is originally a bhajan (Hindu devotional composition) written and composed by a legendary 16th century Lord Krishna devotee named Meerabai (a woman). All "Pakistani" music is actually Indian music based on the 'ragas' of the Hindustani Classical system, which is one of two branches of Indian Classical music (the other being Carnatic) based on our ancient Sanskrit scriptures and treatises like Natyashastra.

@@thedescanteer I respect that and I don't know much about Pakistani history or politics, but this comment triggers me on a different level. I am Ukrainian and what you say about Pakistan a lot of Russians say about my country. That there is no such thing as Ukrainian culture, that our language is just Russian smeared with Polish and Hungarian, that we are just the black sheep of the great Russia, some even say that there is no such country as Ukraine, that all Ukrainians are just Russian separatists spoiled and tainted by the West. I don't really even care for Pakistan, but after certain events reading a comment that a country doesn't have a culture and is just based on separatism just feels wrong.
@@MegaMalfar It might feel wrong to you or trigger you because of recent acts of violent imperialism by a bigger militaristic power/ideology on your country, but it makes no sense for you to superimpose that experience on another part of the world with an exactly opposite colonial history while disregarding basic facts and very recent history. If anything, it is the ancient civilization of Bharatvarsh (India) that has been victimized by persistent invasions and both physical and cultural genocide for a 1000 years now - culminating in the British using Political Islam to balkanize this ancient land overnight in 1947. My own roots are in current Bangladesh (erstwhile East Pakistan) and my family had to flee from persecution leaving everything behind when lines where drawn across Bengal based on religion, becoming refugees in our own country. The same happened to Punjabi, Sindhi and Kashmiri Hindus and Sikhs when they had to flee to current India 1947 onwards. Religious minorities have been wiped out in these newly formed Islamic nations, but India has become the 2nd largest Muslim country in the world today. You should be comparing what Russia is doing to Ukraine today with what Islamic Nationalism (and later European Colonialism) has been doing to India for a millennium - not the other way around. Indian civilisation is the only one that has never practised violent imperialism in 5000 years; our culture spread organically over thousands of years. And we are the only remaining ancient civilization/polity that has lost most of it's homeland. Equating a shrinking India with expansionist powers like Communist Russia, China or Islamic Caliphate (Turkey, Middle-East, Pakistan etc. are all part of it) is not only ridiculously incorrect, it is actually portraying the oppressor as the victim and vice-versa.🙏
I came expecting a funny meme. . .but I stayed with tears falling and in awe. That was beautiful music, despite I don't speak or understand the language...however that saying where "the power of music can unite us all" really does happen. This is one of those moments
Yeah it is made such a way. This is the poem wrote by a women named MeraBai for her god(bhagwaan) Krishna. MeeraBai is said to be the greatest devotee of ShreeKrishna(Our God).
@@Shiva-zj6odMeera Bai scholar this song cannot be attributed to Mirabai as it is in Modern Hindi, an Indo-Aryan language that evolved from Sanskrit and underwent standardization in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Mirabai lived in the 16th century and primarily composed her bhajans in Rajasthani. The form of Hindi used in "Sanson Ki Mala Pe" did not even exist at that time. Additionally, the song's terminology and literary style do not match with Mirabai's other bhajans. To get an idea of what Meera bhajans sounded like, one can listen to albums like "Chala Wahi Des: Lata Sings Meera Bhajans" by Lata Mangeshkar and "Meera Bhajans - M.S. Subbulakshmi" by M.S. Subbulakshmi. The attribution of "Sanson Ki Mala Pe" to Mirabai is merely a rumor being spread by Hindu priests who sing this song in temples and are reluctant to acknowledge that it was written by a Muslim poet. The song was originally penned by Tufail Hoshiarpuri, who was also a devotee of Lord Krishna, and his major writings were devoted to Lord Krishna as well. The literary style and terminology used in "Sanson Ki Mala Pe" are similar to his other writings in Hindi. The book "Soch Mala" by Tufail Hoshiapuri
@@Shiva-zj6od Incorrect. That's just a rumor spread by one of your priest. It's actually written by Tufail Hoshiarpuri in his book "Soch Mala" with the title "Sanson ki mala pe simrun nis-din pi ka naam" you can easily find it if you search
This is huge. Don't know the singer, but he seems famous considering the comments, but I love his singing. And your music on top fits just perfectly ! One of your greatest video IMO
How? How is this so good? I don't speak or can properly recognize any languages from South-Asia, I am a Latino living in Norway, like this is so foreign to me but so good I have a hard time comprehending why it is so outstanding.

I'm not sure if people understand that Nusrat ji is like a God for us; who comes here once in a lifetime. His voice transcends time, borders, religions, casts and sex. Andre, thanks for this tribute. It's like you came to our temples and performed for our gods in your own special way. Forever grateful!
I’m Australian and I don’t understand the meaning or anything of this song but it is incredibly moving and beautiful. So much passion and the melodies are incredible. It is impossible to not be moved by this.
I came to know him through Eddie Vedder of Pearl jam, they did a song together and there is a song called arc that is a tribute to nusrat after he passed. Also came across him as massive attack did a remix of must mustt which was amazing. His vocals were out of this world, wonderful artist.
@@dewiwilliams4821 Yes, it was on the Dead Man Walking soundtrack! Also, he and Michael Brook collaborated on a few albums (Night Song, Star Rise and Mustt Mustt - the one Massive Atatck remixed). They're absolutely brilliant and highly recommended.

TRANSLATION AND MEANING:
Andre my man love from Pakistan 🇵🇰 and Thank you. For you and other listeners - It is almost impossible to capture the emotion of this song in any other language and originally it is much longer. But it is a soul shaking experience to listen to this while understanding the context and meaning, here is a rough english translation and my attempt at explaining the context of the excerpt used here:
SANSON KI MALA PE SIMRUUN MAIN PI KA NAAM
I bead my beloved's name on the garland of my breaths (with every breath I take, I take His/Her name to adorn myself in the most beautiful garland made of His/Her name)
PREM KE RUNG MEIN AISE DOBI BUN GAYA AIK HE ROOP
In the color of love, I drowned myself in such a way that we became one (enthralled in His/Her love to a point that the two of us are indistinguishable)
PREM KI MAALA JAPTE JAPTE AAP BANI MEIN SHAYAAM
Beading the garland of love my beloved's name I myself became God (SHAYAM)
(in pursuit of this love I forgot about my own physical and spiritual existence)
PREETAM KA KUCH DOSH NAHI HAI, WO TO HAI NIRDOSH
My beloved is not guilty He is innocent he is blemish less (Do not blame Him/Her for my transgressions and claims, he/she is the most pure)
APNE AAP SE BAATEIN KER KE HOO GAYI MEIN BADNAAM
It is by talking to myself that I got a bad repute , bad name (from what you see, people are justified to think I am insane)
JEEVAN KA SHINGAR HAI PREETAM, MAANG KA HAI SINDOOR
My beloved is the beautification and adornment of life and vermilion in my hair (His/Her glory is unmatched, and beyond your comprehension - he/she exists in all things beautiful and is my pride)
PREETAM KI NAZROON SE GIR KER JEENA HAI KISS KAAM
If fallen from the eyes of my beloved, what is the point of living then (His/Her approval is all that I need, do not care about any of you/ anything else)
SANSON KI MALA PE SIMRUUN MAIN PEE KA NAAM
I bead my beloved's name on the garland of my breaths (with every breath I take, I take His/Her name to adorn myself in the most beautiful garland made of His/Her name)
Wonderful, thank you.
Thank you very much! Love from India!
Thank you so much for the translation!!!
Thanks for the translation I truly love reading lyrics in other languages. It really does add a whole level of emotion and meaning when listening
Even the lyrics are metal!!!
When I say I have complicated music tastes, this is exactly what I mean.
Me too 😭😭, I can relate.
You are spiting FACTS!!!!!
Welcome to Nusrat Fatih Ali Khan, if u know the C of complicated.
Check out a band Kultur shock, and songs like Tamni vilajet, Sarajevo, Sheitan, Zumbul, etc
There's nothing complicated about good
Most people will not realise Andre's genius behind this arrangement. He literally recomposed the song to fit into the western musical lingua, while preserving the eastern essence and distilled the best of both traditions.
Oh.
after finding the original i heard how much work he put into it
I did realise it. I'm a professional singer

Happy Diwali. Never have I heard such an original remix of Nusrat before, this is mind blowing. Nusrat collaborated with many artists and produced Qawwali in pop genres to spread the music and message. He would be so proud of this. Please do more remixes. Love from England.
Sir it would be so nice to read if you give a little more respect to the legend by writing 'Ustad' before his name , or by simply writing 'Nusrat sahab'.

That is strange. I just heard this absolute masterpiece few days ago and I was blown by this man's voice.

It's just mindblowing that Andre managed to put some Pantera in this melody, and yet it all sounds so natural and like integral version of this song.
The best thing I've heard in many years.
Thanks to mr. Khan, the lady who wrote lyrics all those centuries ago and to you, Andre, for this musical delight.

Decent Idea. %100 perc. agreed.
This shows how often oriental scales are used in metal music. And how close metal is to folk and country music worldwide.
Exactly!! (Except this scale is just natural minor, which is also common in western music)
This makes me wish for an Andre Antunes and Arany Zoltan crossover
Alternatively, it shows us that metal isn’t as unique as many would like to believe.
@@Pit_Lord Right. Metal and other kinds of rock music are mostly based on simple riffs and usually have no melody for vocals (some vocal parts have only one note). And the same can be told about folk music. One simple traditional riff can have an infinite number of lyrics variations. A real song has a melody and meaningful lyrics while sung couplets don't.
Qawwali has always had similarities with rock.
Long live Indian and Pakistani Metal! I would buy an entire album of this!
So would I. The singing and guitar are perfectly balanced together and its magical.

Firstly it is a spiritual hymn written by a great Indian devotee Meera Bai to her lord (Lord Shri Krishna), then it is sung by legendary Pakistani singer Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan Sahab, that too in the form of a qawwali. And now in the modern age of heavy metal music its remixed version is truly a mesmerizing example of it. Truly music has no boundaries, it is free from any bondage.

Calling him a singer puts him in the same category as other singers. Pakistanis call him ustaad, which means Master.
I've been on youtube since 2005 and this is the first time I've left a comment.
This is a musical masterpiece, I listened to it the day it was posted and have listened to it every day since. You somehow took a non-western piece of music, based on beautiful 16th century hindu mystic poetry, and made it digestible to ears accustomed to western music, without losing the eastern aspects of it.
My girlfriend is from Pakistan, and obviously speaks Urdu/Hindi/etc, and when I asked her to translate it she tries her best, but says a lot of it can't even be properly expressed in English. But even from the basic translation she's given me it's one of the most beautiful things I've ever heard in my life.
I don't see how this can ever be topped, I don't use the term masterpiece lightly, this is perfection, the fact that you were able to so naturally combine these two styles into a beautiful symphony blows me away. I've been a musician my entire life and have listened to nusrat fateh ali khan for a few years now, and knowing the original recordings I could have never imagined it presented this way, and certainly could have never done this myself.
yes its a beautiful piece though it is not hindu mystic origin. it traditional sufi style origin afghani/pakistani islamic turkish origin. rock on piece!
@@sanguine9031 The original poem was by the hindu mystic poet Mirabai, and was about her devotion to lord Krishna, written in the early 1500s if I remember correctly.
But yes the song/music is qawwali and the style is sufi, but the lyrics themselves were originally about Krishna. They were able to take that poem and apply it to Allah instead of Krishna.

Agreed. Kiffness too
Ooh havent checked her out in a minute, I just remember her doing bass covers
She does covers yeah but she consistently elevates every track she touches imo. Like I can't listen to Dua Lipa unless it's her version at this point.
That's why I love them. Other than the "Karen" videos, these are a beautifully respectful reinterpretation of interesting music around the world. I have gone on from these videos to look at the regional music of each area....like a personal music appreciation course.
That’s the difference between Andre and, say, Leo Moracchioli. Leo always sounds like he’s he’s just having fun and kidding around (nothing wrong with that, again), but Andre sounds like he takes the stuff he covers very seriously.
The slide and distortion of a metal guitar just lends itself so PERFECTLY to the discreet note structure of Indian AND Pakistani folk music. This isn't a meme of a joke. It's a genuine fusion discovery. Thank you for doing it with such respect.

@@eccehomonohomo So this song was originally written by Mirabai in 16th century.

OMG in 1993 I was a writer on my college newspaper and I interviewed NFAK after he performed a Qawwali concert on campus. What an amazing night. It was basically metal without having to have metal. The most amazing part was when people would get up, run up on stage (in a big fancy theater) and make it rain on the singers! After the show there were thousands of bills lying on the stage. It was the most exciting event I’d ever been to. Andre, every single time you create a video, you add goodness to what was already there. You are the best.

- If you know what is sang at time 2:45 and 4:14, please let me know and I'll try to update this comment.
Spelling from the comment @azlanmohsin9528 made about the meaning of the lyrics - I don't understand the laungage, but I love the song anyway and want to learn sininging it, which is why I took the time to write out the lyrics with time stamps.
Happy singing!
Absolutely incredible. There are hundreds of hours recorded music by Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan. You could literally create an entire album with your talent. I’d pay for that, 100%. Keep up the great work.
FUNFACT: this song is NOT written by the singer himself. This is actually a hindu devotional poetry written by Meera Bai, 16th century poet in India. She is known to be the epitome of devotion to the supreme lord. Being an ardent Krishna devotee this "Bhajan" aptly conveys her love for the "Krishna-ALL ATTRACTIVE".

The Pakistani singer is no more with us but Nusrat sahab is was and will forever be an institution of Hindustani classical music and ghazal.
He is worshipped in the subcontinent. Pakistan, Bangladesh, Nepal and India alike.
Song is indian
@@EdwardSnowden-b6l that one was a rendition of ustad nusrats work, can't believe you just said that dumbo
I am not sure if Andre himself knows what he has done. Man! You have nailed it. You made a masterpiece out of a masterpiece. Just love you ❤ Nusrat Sahib + Metal. Whoooooo. Man… I can listen to this for hours on repeat.
Petition for an hour long version of this!
I think that folk music and metal music are linked by high emotionality. that's why the combination of both comes out so natural and beautiful. respect for the author for noticing this potential
Metal is folk from the Netherlands 💜
Or music is a universal language
@@jackimoon8284 What?
Well said.
Andre doesn’t just cover songs he artistically transforms them into something familiar but entirely new. He’s like the Andy Warhol of metal.
That’s dope
except andre has talent whereas warhol doesnt
Really, all good until the last line. Warhol is more like a video reaction youtuber. He literally has a video reaction while eating a burger
Warhol was a cheap, insipid coke head. Don't do my man Andre like that. Andre is an absolute genius. His arrangements and metal renditions of folk music is just superhuman.
Insane!As a teenager and in early 20s, I was a huge fan of metal and Indian classical music. Over the years, the constant bombardment of mediocre music on the radio and internet dulled my musical senses. Now at 38, listening to this song has rekindled my passion for both metal and Indian classical music.
This is an outstanding way to pay homage to legends who have passed on while reintroducing them to a whole new generation! Brilliant work!
Yea no kidding, i went on a info hunt to find all about the song and the singer yesterday. Any other songs by him that you would reccomend in a similar vein?

Qawwali music is so perfect for metal. It’s a beautiful form of music to begin with. It’s deeply spiritual makes me so happy to see I’m not the only westerner who appreciates it.

That is so far beyond epic, I don't have the superlatives to describe it. Sounds incredibly fitting, and proves we should all listen to more Pakistani folk music.
Amazing.
This is Andre's most beautiful cover. The source music has depth and a harmonic structure perfectly suited to metal. This is an emotional masterpiece. More like this please.
This is one of the most incredible things I ever heard, I discovered it recently and been listening to it almost everyday. There are no words that can describe the wonder that you created here. Thank you for making this masterpiece. Cheers!
Man, this is completely mind blowing. I could hear versions of it for hours. It is like a new generation SOAD...

This is one of many Devotional Bhajan Written by Lady Mira Bai for his Beloved God Krishna in 16th century. Pakistani lsIamists think Nusrat phateh Ali created this Bhajan, but No. He just composed it in 1979.
अपने मन की मैं जानू और पी के मन की राम,
सांसों की माला पर लिख दू, पी का नाम।
No Urdu, No Arabi, No Farsi. It's in Hindi.
@@Edward4Plantagenetwhere's your evidence to that claim? It's not written by mirabai. This urdu/hindi wasn't even a thing when she was alive. It's actually written by Tufail Hoshiarpuri in his book Soch Mala with the title "Sanson ki mala pe simrun nis-din pi ka naam"
Sanson Ki Mala Pe: Literally- On the rosary of breath) is a bhajan originally sung by Meerabai (c. 1498 - c. 1557 AD), a Rajput princess and a Hindu mystic from Rajasthan in praise of Lord Krishna. The song has been sung by many famous artists, and is one of the most popular songs of legendary vocalist, Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan and was first played by Khan when he first visited India in 1979.
Thank you for sharing this information with us!
Thank you!
Amazing contextual comment, thanks!
Спасибо. Очень интересная информация
Thank you. I didn't realize he sung Hindu stories. I thought he was all Sufi. Wonderful to know.
Classical music is also metal but without electricity. LOVE YOU Andre. I don't know if you'll ever realize what a masterpiece you have created. It's very hard for people to swallow that something this good could be done with his voice. Mostly people end up destroying the art Nusrat wants to convey. On the other hand seeing your creativity, it seemed like it was meant to be. From the bottom of my heart ,Thank You.
LOVE FROM INDIA
It is Bhajan, Hindu Devotional songs written by princess Mira Bai ji for Lord Krishna
In Pakistan, we don't call him by his name. We just call him ustaad and it's understood almost by everybody.
Sufi and Qawali musicis not electricity, it's literally food for the soul.

Thank you for his name. I was searching for it.
His part there is amazing!

It's hijaz or nahawand *scale "maqam in arabic"* middle eastern scales that are really sad and melodic that is the most used scale for egyptian songs especially old ones and in quran too‚ you can hear more of it in egyptian singers but that's gonna be in Arabic something like um kulthum.. and in english there is tamino
Fire hai bhai 🔥🔥
0:29 aura ♾️ whatt a remix 😊
A musical rendition like this heals people. You're saving lives out here, Andre.
True. Bringing cultures and people together. Love it
Just incredible! Ustad Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan is a goldmine. This arrangement is fantastic. Sufi, jazz. metal and folk music sound very different but are based on similar playful melodies and honest expressions of emotion - they work really well together! Sufi and rock/metal go especially well with each other!
You’re bringing together the two music genres I love that I thought were two separate ends of a spectrum, AND you are doing it so well. You are a blessing. Thank you Andre ❤
I grew up listening to Irish and American folk music. Later I fell in love with Metal and Hardcore. If you look at the lyrics to a lot of folk songs, they’re quite sad and dark. I’ve always dreamed of hearing those old sad, dark ballads made into metal songs.
Folk metal
desi metal
Man- wherever it happens, metal is to oral tradition as the sword is to the Hammer.
Oral tradition was made before to pass down The Way- and relied on the basic rythmm. Our hearts. It's literally a steady, driving rythm. Perfect for memory, dance, and unifying a group.
Foundational Metal and rock drumming follows the same principals- building rythmms and delivering on the heart steady downbeat. Headbanging is unavoidable for a reason.
Same. And it's such a beautiful medley, one could never have imagined.
that's real heavy! love from Pakistan, mate
You made Ustad Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan come alive again ❤️❤️❤️
Rest in peace nusrat fateh ali khan
He was never dead to us for those who had him in our hearts
@@Senator107 respect from kuwait
He was never dead honestly :) ..

OMG, my Dad (God rest his soul) was from Pakistan. This was incredible and captured the emotion of the song perfectly. The axe in the hands of a righteous man makes a holy sound unto the Lord.
Thats so fucking awesome. Rest in peace to your father.
"The axe in the hands of a righteous man makes a holy sound unto the Lord of the land"

Right!!! I was thinking the same..
Incredible part!!!
That alaap tho 🤌🔥🔥🔥
This is music that goes beyond goosebumps, it goes to your heart...
I don't know much about Pakistani culture or religion, yet I just started crying at 3:50..
Thank you for bringing people together through music
Greetings from Mexico.
Appreciate your universal message, but I must point out that there is no such thing as "Pakistani" culture or religion. Pakistan is a 20th century state carved out of the homeland of various ancient Indian ethnicities like Punjabi, Sindhi, Kashmiri etc. on the basis of Islamic separatism. Converted Indians of various others regional ethnicities from the rest of India also migrated to West Pakistan and East Pakistan (Bangladesh) at the time of partition in 1947, and also later. They are known as "Mujahirs" in current Pakistan. The state religion of Pakistan, Islam, is a foreign ideology that entered the Indian subcontinent via violent imperialism about a 1000 years ago. The material culture in Pakistan, however, continues to be a mishmash largely of Indian classical culture and regional folk traditions native to north and northwest India. In the last 75 years, the state of Pakistan has managed to more or less wipe out the native faiths (Hinduism, Sikhism, Buddhism) and languages (Punjabi, Sindhi, Kashmiri, Pashto etc.) in favour of Islam and Urdu (an Arabized, Persianized version of a native North Indian vernacular that was used as court language during the brutal Islamic rule of India). Even this very song is originally a bhajan (Hindu devotional composition) written and composed by a legendary 16th century Lord Krishna devotee named Meerabai (a woman). All "Pakistani" music is actually Indian music based on the 'ragas' of the Hindustani Classical system, which is one of two branches of Indian Classical music (the other being Carnatic) based on our ancient Sanskrit scriptures and treatises like Natyashastra.

@@thedescanteer I respect that and I don't know much about Pakistani history or politics, but this comment triggers me on a different level. I am Ukrainian and what you say about Pakistan a lot of Russians say about my country. That there is no such thing as Ukrainian culture, that our language is just Russian smeared with Polish and Hungarian, that we are just the black sheep of the great Russia, some even say that there is no such country as Ukraine, that all Ukrainians are just Russian separatists spoiled and tainted by the West. I don't really even care for Pakistan, but after certain events reading a comment that a country doesn't have a culture and is just based on separatism just feels wrong.
@@MegaMalfar It might feel wrong to you or trigger you because of recent acts of violent imperialism by a bigger militaristic power/ideology on your country, but it makes no sense for you to superimpose that experience on another part of the world with an exactly opposite colonial history while disregarding basic facts and very recent history. If anything, it is the ancient civilization of Bharatvarsh (India) that has been victimized by persistent invasions and both physical and cultural genocide for a 1000 years now - culminating in the British using Political Islam to balkanize this ancient land overnight in 1947. My own roots are in current Bangladesh (erstwhile East Pakistan) and my family had to flee from persecution leaving everything behind when lines where drawn across Bengal based on religion, becoming refugees in our own country. The same happened to Punjabi, Sindhi and Kashmiri Hindus and Sikhs when they had to flee to current India 1947 onwards. Religious minorities have been wiped out in these newly formed Islamic nations, but India has become the 2nd largest Muslim country in the world today. You should be comparing what Russia is doing to Ukraine today with what Islamic Nationalism (and later European Colonialism) has been doing to India for a millennium - not the other way around. Indian civilisation is the only one that has never practised violent imperialism in 5000 years; our culture spread organically over thousands of years. And we are the only remaining ancient civilization/polity that has lost most of it's homeland. Equating a shrinking India with expansionist powers like Communist Russia, China or Islamic Caliphate (Turkey, Middle-East, Pakistan etc. are all part of it) is not only ridiculously incorrect, it is actually portraying the oppressor as the victim and vice-versa.🙏
I came expecting a funny meme. . .but I stayed with tears falling and in awe. That was beautiful music, despite I don't speak or understand the language...however that saying where "the power of music can unite us all" really does happen. This is one of those moments
Boy u need to understand the lyrics..
@@gauravjaina965 spiritually BASED
Yeah it is made such a way. This is the poem wrote by a women named MeraBai for her god(bhagwaan) Krishna. MeeraBai is said to be the greatest devotee of ShreeKrishna(Our God).
@@Shiva-zj6odMeera Bai scholar this song cannot be attributed to Mirabai as it is in Modern Hindi, an Indo-Aryan language that evolved from Sanskrit and underwent standardization in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Mirabai lived in the 16th century and primarily composed her bhajans in Rajasthani. The form of Hindi used in "Sanson Ki Mala Pe" did not even exist at that time. Additionally, the song's terminology and literary style do not match with Mirabai's other bhajans. To get an idea of what Meera bhajans sounded like, one can listen to albums like "Chala Wahi Des: Lata Sings Meera Bhajans" by Lata Mangeshkar and "Meera Bhajans - M.S. Subbulakshmi" by M.S. Subbulakshmi. The attribution of "Sanson Ki Mala Pe" to Mirabai is merely a rumor being spread by Hindu priests who sing this song in temples and are reluctant to acknowledge that it was written by a Muslim poet. The song was originally penned by Tufail Hoshiarpuri, who was also a devotee of Lord Krishna, and his major writings were devoted to Lord Krishna as well. The literary style and terminology used in "Sanson Ki Mala Pe" are similar to his other writings in Hindi. The book "Soch Mala" by Tufail Hoshiapuri
@@Shiva-zj6od Incorrect. That's just a rumor spread by one of your priest. It's actually written by Tufail Hoshiarpuri in his book "Soch Mala" with the title "Sanson ki mala pe simrun nis-din pi ka naam" you can easily find it if you search
