about

It’s been a year since Syrian singer, songwriter and producer Yousef Kekhia released a sensual exploration of folktronica and ambient sound spheres with subtle references to dance music, his second album „Polylog“. The Berlin-based artist continues his path of merging folk and electronic beats with Arabic songwriting on his newest single „Daw-Zalam“, which translates to „Light-Darkness“. The nostalgic track processes a painful breakup, it’s about letting go although being in love still.

lyrics

(English scroll below)

لازم روح
يا ليل جمعت ضو و ظلام
بس بيتي مفقود
ما ضل اصوات حب و قلب فرحان
قلتيلي القمر محجوب
دورت عليكي كل ما انام
عالغبرة بنينا بيوت
تربط امل جارر ضو تعبان

بدموع الروح لما القلب بينشل
رح يصرخ صوت و ينام الصمت
مع قسوة الكون بنص الفل
عم يطفو لفوق ليعود النبض
رح يشرق الضو لما الارض تنبل
و يطلع خضار فوق وجع القلب
رح ابقى فوق مع النجوم بطل
ضو على روحك لتنسي الحرب

مشيت لاول رقصة
احفر نجوم ترجع اتضوي المكان
بيطلعلي ولد و ربطة
عم يعدو النجوم بس بغير زمان
قلتلهم القمر محجوب
طلعت شمس اتضوي و تحمي النسيان
فجأة بينبت الفطر بلحظة
يرسم جذور بعقلي الزعلان

بدموع الروح لما القلب بينشل
رح يصرخ صوت و ينام الصمت
مع قسوة الكون بنص الفل
عم يطفو لفوق ليعود النبض
رح يشرق الضو لما الارض تنبل
و يطلع خضار فوق وجع القلب
رح ابقى فوق مع النجوم بطل
ضو على روحك لتنسي الحرب

اتطلعي عالنجوم بنص الليل و اتذكري الاوقات اللي ضحكت الروح فيه

فيه
فيه
فيه
فيه

I have to leave
Oh you night have gathered light and darkness
But my home is lost
No sounds of love and happy hearts
You told me the moon is hidden
I searched for you every time i slept
On dust we built houses
That tie a hope which carries a tired light

With the tears of the soul when the heart paralysis
It will scream a sound then silent will sleep
With the harshness of the world in the middle of a dry land
He is floating to the top so the heart can beat
The light will shine when the earth gets wet
And green will grow on a broken heart
I will stay up there with the stars i will appear
As a light on your soul so you forget the war

I went back to the first dance
Digging stars they can liggt this place again
A tie and a kid suddenly appear
Counting the stars but in another timeline (dimension)
I told them the moon is hidden
Then the sun shines and protect us from forgetting
And suddenly mushrooms started growing
And painted roots in my sad brain

With the tears of the soul when the heart paralysis
It will scream a sound then silent will sleep
With the harshness of the world in the middle of a dry land
He is floating to the top so the heart can beat
The light will shine when the earth gets wet
And green will grow on a broken heart
I will stay up there with the stars i will appear
As a light on your soul so you forget the war

Look at the stars in the middle of the night and remember the times where the souls laughed in it

In it
In it
In it
In it

Light
Light
Light
