Religious songs from your Religion

[Smart_Guy]

Do atheists have religious songs?

 

[Treks]

I know it's from a bit of a cultish Sikh group, but I really like their music, and this peaceful song is one of my favourites:

Here are the lyrics to this shabad, from panna 577 of Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji

ਪੂਰੀ ਆਸਾ ਜੀ ਮਨਸਾ ਮੇਰੇ ਰਾਮ ॥
Pūrī āsā jī mansā mere rām.
O Lord, my hopes and desires have been fulfilled.

ਮੋਹਿ ਨਿਰਗੁਣ ਜੀਉ ਸਭਿ ਗੁਣ ਤੇਰੇ ਰਾਮ ॥
Mohi nirguṇ jī▫o sabẖ guṇ ṯere rām.
O Sire, I am without merits, all the merits are Thine.

ਸਭਿ ਗੁਣ ਤੇਰੇ ਠਾਕੁਰ ਮੇਰੇ ਕਿਤੁ ਮੁਖਿ ਤੁਧੁ ਸਾਲਾਹੀ ॥
Sabẖ guṇ ṯere ṯẖākur mere kiṯ mukẖ ṯuḏẖ sālāhī.
Thou hast all the merits, O my Lord, with what mouth should I praise Thee?

ਗੁਣੁ ਅਵਗੁਣੁ ਮੇਰਾ ਕਿਛੁ ਨ ਬੀਚਾਰਿਆ ਬਖਸਿ ਲੀਆ ਖਿਨ ਮਾਹੀ ॥
Guṇ avguṇ merā kicẖẖ na bīcẖāri▫ā bakẖas lī▫ā kẖin māhī.
Mine merits and demerits, Thou hast not considered at all and Thou hast pardoned me in a moment.

ਨਉ ਨਿਧਿ ਪਾਈ ਵਜੀ ਵਾਧਾਈ ਵਾਜੇ ਅਨਹਦ ਤੂਰੇ ॥
Na▫o niḏẖ pā▫ī vajī vāḏẖā▫ī vāje anhaḏ ṯūre.
I have obtained the nine treasure and congratulations resound and unstruck trumpets. ring (with me).

ਕਹੁ ਨਾਨਕ ਮੈ ਵਰੁ ਘਰਿ ਪਾਇਆ ਮੇਰੇ ਲਾਥੇ ਜੀ ਸਗਲ ਵਿਸੂਰੇ ॥੪॥੧॥
Kaho Nānak mai var gẖar pā▫i▫ā mere lāthe jī sagal visūre. ||4||1||
Says Nanak, I have attained my Spouse at home, and all my anxieties are at an end.​

A song for children. It also sounds emotional. I... I think I wanna cry

It's worth mentioning that for Muslims there are songs that are not really religious, but follow a nature that gives it the description Islamic Songs. This one is 50-50

 

[GoodbyeDave]

I'm jealous of all this stuff! My performance tonight of "Approach, queen Tyche, with propitious mind" (to the tune of "All round the world thy children sing their song") will not compare.

 

[IdiNaPut]

Here's some Divna Ljubojević, one of my favourite Orthodox singers, from Serbia. the song is 'Blessed Be The Lord'.

 

[Twilight Hue]

I understand the lyrics so little yet, I love the songs of Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan:

I have a CD with Swan Song by
Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan. I enjoyed it.

 

[VioletVortex]

When ever I perform a ritual, I listen to black metal, like Bathory.

 

[Estro Felino]

Sun, which warms my body and heals me.
Fresh water feeds my dreams, and purifies me.
Air which brought me here and keeps me alive.
At dawn you called me, immediately I went outside.
At dawn you wanted me, immediately I followed you.

Your joy, like a big river, runs in my veins.
Lightening strikes my heart without any pain.
The sound of your voice makes me calm and pervades me
At dawn you appeared to me, hope smiled at me, suddenly.
At dawn you talked to me, you filled me with your Love.

You are the spark of my childhood, the light of my salvation.
I feel so light at your presence and very glad that you chose me.
Sweet fire which bakes my bread without burning me.
Rain which quenches the thirst of my thirsty soul
Wind which shakes the trees and traces my path.
At dawn I left, I will never return any more
At dawn I quit everything, I will never leave you.

[Estro Felino]

You are my life, I've nothing else
You are my path, my truth
I will be walking, according to your word
until I will have breathe, until you will want me to
I will not be afraid, if you are with me
Please, stay with me.

I believe in you, my Lord, born from Mary
Eternal and holy son, a man like us
You died, out of love, and are alive among us
You are One thing with your Father and all of us
You will be back, I know that
to open God's kingdom to us

You are my strength, I've nothing else
You are my peace, my freedom
Nothing in this life will set us apart
I know your strong hand will never leave me
I know you will free me from any evil,
and I will be living in your forgiveness

Father of Life, we believe in You
Savior Son, we hope in You
Spirit of Love, come dwell among us
You will make us united, despite our thousands different paths
and from those paths we will be God's children, wherever you want

 

[Sirona]

I find this song quite meditative and relatively easy to sing along. Enjoy!

Nadiya Godrume

(1)
nadiya-godrume nityananda mahajana
patiyache nama-hatta jibera karana

(2)
(sraddhaban jana he sraddhaban jana he)
prabhura ajnaya bhai magi ei bhikha
bolo krishna bhajo krishna koro krishna-sikha

(3)
aparadha-sunya ho'ye loha krishna-nama
krishna mata krishna pita krishna dhana prana

(4)
krishnera somsara koro chardi' anacara
jibe doya krishna-nama sarba-dharma-sara

Translation:

1) In Nadiya's Godruma the great soul Lord Nityananda has opened a marketplace to sell the holy name to
the conditioned souls.

2) (O faithful people, O faithful people,) O my brothers, by the Lord's command I ask this charity of you:
Please chant, Krishna!", worship Krishna, and learn and teach about Krishna.

3) Chant Krishna's name without offense. Accept Krishna as your mother. Accept Krishna as your father. Accept
Krishna as your wealth and your life.

4) Give up all sins. Make Krishna your whole world. Be merciful to all souls. Chant Krishna's names. That is
the essence of all religion.

I grew up RC. My favorite religious song is "Sons of God".

I can't find a decent video of it.

Nice thread. I don't have many. Here are some:

I hear you calling

We all come from the goddess

Born of Water

Cancao do Mar (This isn't a religious song but I use it sometimes in ritual)

 

[Estro Felino]

Nice thread. I don't have many.

I don't know if you speak Spanish, but I guess that this song is somehow related to your religion\spirituality
