A Platform for Ethnically and Culturally Inspired Music
About "¿Me Ves?"
Lyrics: Else Lasker Schüler (translation Diyarisan)
Music: Diyarisan
¿Me Ve? (Do you see me) is the first single from Diyarisan's new album.
A text by Else Lasker Schüler (1869-1945), the German-Jewish lyricist, was set to music. In it, as in the later album, it is about the acrobatic efforts of balancing one's emotional situation in the relationship between two people, the search for and finding of happiness and its rapid evanescence.
The drums were played by Buelyd, who also produced the piece.
Diyarisan's music follows the compositional concept of Russian composer Nikolaj Andreevic Roslavec' (1880-1944). A six-note "synthetic chord" and its transposition provide the tonal space for both melodic and harmonic development, with additions to the 12-note scale shaping breaks and musical interjections. The music deliberately plays with echoes of jazz, Middle Eastern folk music and rock music.
Do you see me (Lyrics: Else Lasker Schüler)
Between earth and sky?
No one has ever crossed my path.
But your face warms my world,
From you all things flourish.
When you look at me
My heart grows sweet
I lie beneath your smile
And learn to prepare day and night,
To conjure you up and make you fade away,
Always playing the one game.
¿Me ves? (Lyrics translated by Diyarisan)
¿Entre la tierra y el cielo?
Nadie se ha cruzado en mi camino.
Pero tu cara calienta mi mundo,
De ti florecen todas las cosas.

Cuando me miras
Mi corazón se endulza
Estoy debajo de tu sonrisa
Y aprende a prepararte día y noche,
