about

Yousef Kekhia's "Bshi Yom" (engl. "in one day") is about reminisce. A sad song, but also a healing reminder of good old times.
Kekhia wrote this song to empower himself to carry his guitar and sing no matter what the situation or the mental state is.
Sonically, it's a simple production, with a chorus embracing hope. Kekhia describes "the calm folky/ambient mood of this song reminds me of home, which is exactly what the song is about. It's about home"

lyrics

(english below)

بشي يوم:


بشي يوم كان عنا بلد بشي يوم
كان بشي يوم، كان بشي يوم
بشي يوم كان عنا حلم بشي يوم
كان بشي يوم، كان بشي يوم
كنا نحكي بصوت عالي، كنا هون
كلشي هون، كلشي هون
احلامنا كانت حقيقة، عكس كلشي هون
كلشي هون، كلشي هون

تعا نغني انا و انت بشي بلد مسكين
قوم معي نخبي الوقت، بلكي منضل عايشين
راح البلد و راح الحلم و نحن وين رايحين؟
وين الحكي و ويننا نحن؟ وين صرنا عايشين

بشي يوم كان عنا اسم بشي يوم
كان بشي يوم، كان بشي يوم
بشي يوم كان عنا قلب بشي يوم
كان بشي يوم، كان بشي يوم
كنا نسرد و ما نصحا ولا يوم
ولا يوم، ولا يوم
كنا نشرد و نتخيل كل لون
اي كل لون، لك اي كل لون

تعا نغني انا و انت بشي بلد مسكين
قوم معي نخبي الوقت، بلكي منضل عايشين
راح البلد و راح الحلم و نحن وين رايحين؟
وين الحكي و ويننا نحن؟ وين صرنا عايشين


ONE DAY

One day we had a country, once
One day, one day
One day we had a dream, once
One day, one day
We used to speak with free voices, we were here
Everything was here, everything was here
Our dreams were reality, unlike everything here
Everything here, everything here

Come, let’s sing, you and I, in some forlorn nation
Come, let’s stop the flow of time, maybe we’ll stay alive
The country is gone, the dream is gone, where are we going?
Where is our voice, where are we now? Where are we living now?

One day we had a name, once
One day, one day
One day we had a heart, once
One day, one day
We used to daydream, and not be awake even for a day
Not even a day, not even a day
We would sail away and paint our reveries in every color
Yes every color, indeed in every color

Come, let’s sing, you and I, in some forlorn nation
Come, let’s stop the flow of time, maybe we’ll stay alive
The country is gone, the dream is gone, where are we going?
Where is our voice, where are we now? Where are we living now?
