Irfan - Simurgh

[HerDaimAlesta]

A fabulous masterpiece, reminds me of love.

Requires a deep comprehension to understand what it means a good music such as this.

[LezleeZedlee]

Beautiful music ~ loving all Irfan tracks to date ~ so pleased to have found them ~ thank you to all who have uploaded their tracks xx

[todroz]

amazing music! THE STUNNING VOICE AND AWESOME MUSIC MAKE THIS SONG REALLY UNFORGETTABLE!

[laurana99]

These guys need to tour Western Canada .

[lydiata]

lyrics are not in Bulgarian

[shrineproject]

there are no real lyrics in the most of Irfan's tracks, just free vocal improvisations, a-la Dead Can Dance / Lisa Gerrard. Besides, as 'fifiperoto100' mentioned below, the singer is not Vladislava Todorova, but Denitsa Serafimova. Vladislava was singing with Irfan at live shows for about an year and she appeared on only one studio track ("Hagia Sophia"). All Irfan's studio tracks on both albums are recorded with vocalist Denitsa Serafimova. Great singer indeed.

[BYWOMANSRULEZ]

@shrineproject THANK YOU!!!!!!!! I'm so tired of Vladislava getting credit or pictured for Denitza's heavenly body of work. Much respect to you for pointing it out.

[shrineproject]

@BYWOMANSRULEZ you are welcome. few weeks ago i wrote a short review about Irfan on Santa Sangre Magazine. i can't post a direct link here, but you can go to santasangremagazine and then search for Irfan - Seraphim. The original english version is below their polish translation. enjoy :)

so beautiful....!!!

[8DragonG8]

my heart cries, my soul yearns, my spirit wanders......with this painfully wonderful music all around....

[fifiperoto100]

There is not lyrics actually. It's free vocalization of different syllables. Most of their songs are created in the same way. Also, this song is not based on any of traditional bulgarian folk songs. The band has many and different influences, not only bulgarian. For more information you can see their profile in mySpace for example. And it's important to notice that the singer in this record is Ifran's first vocalist Denitsa Serafimova, but not Vladislava Todorova.

Persian literature the Simorḡ is frequently mentioned, particularly as a metaphor for God in Sufi mysticism. In the 12th century Conference of the Birds, Iranian Sufi poet Farid ud-Din Attar wrote of a band of pilgrim birds in search of the Simurgh. According to the poet's tale, the Simurgh has thirty holes in her beak and drew the wind through them whenever she was hungry. Animals heard a pretty music and gathered at the peak of a mountain where they were eaten by the Simurgh. (wikipedia drawn)

[Ghazebu]

Ни один болгарин не догадался опубликовать текст песни :-\

[dexateu]

@Ghazebu Потому что текст песни не на болгарском языке.

[nanculito]

@Ghazebu, ни один болгар не опубликовавал текст потомущо ето не болгарски язик, ну и авори песни нигде не сделоли ето и почти невозможно отделит текст из песни...привет с Болгарии

[Asmalashhab]

I wonder if the lyrics is familiar to any of the listeners on youtube, or to the uploader.

:')

[rilian4]

@Asmalashhab actually no, and it's hard to find, so if you care and could share the lyrics - it'd be great :)

[MK88N0M4D]

Sublime...

[carlnesy]

Can't stop playing it . A Sublime piece of music, it takes you on a journey that is beautiful and full of the wonderments of life. Truly inspiring.

[FaustaWicked]

saw them live in Lithuania in festival Menuo Juodaragis, damn great performance and their album Seraphim is all great!! getting chills

[qwer4o]

Не струва. Нито е истинска народна песен, нито певицата е кой знае какво.

[rilian4]

@qwer4o: Нищо, че не е истинска българска народна песен. Много е хубава :-)

[jeanne9209]

@qwer4o Иии, ето заради такива коментари "истинската" музика в България не струва.... :(

[korpiklaani85]

@qwer4o не е истинска народна песен, определено не е, ноооооооо :)))

[baantuku]

The female voice in this song and most of the titles on the album is that of Denitsa Serafimova.Great singer.Elf Fantasy Fair 2010 with the whole Irfan band.It was great.

[xennophelia]

Her voice .. stellar!

[todroz]

It' s one of the best music in the world! It touches softly the heart... I think every man who will listen it, feel it. Thank you:)

[mamXMM]

този глас е на Деница Серафимова! Нека бъдем точни!:)))

[TobikB]

I'll risk the statement, that this music is the most beautiful I have ever heared! Can't find words to describe this...divine maybe...

[silverjinglebobspur1]

@TobikB I was thinking Ethereal. Awesomely captivating.

[TobikB]
