about

On "Lan Ansa", contemporary electronic music (inspired by artists such as Monolink and Parra For Cuva) meets Syrian Yousef Kekhia's Arabic songwriting, which is weaved into the atmospheric soundscapes. The track deals with entrusting someone you barely know with your story and is based on a memory when Kekhia lived in Turkey. Both non-Arabic speaking music lovers as well as Arabic fans can admire "Lan Ansa" if they love progressive indie and high end electronic music production.

lyrics

لن أنسا

فَقدتُ نفسي، حُبَاً بالروحْ غَسلتُ عَقلي، بِماءِ الحُبْ
وَهَبْتُ جَسدي، ذاكَ المذبوحْ وَجدتُ روحي، بِحالةِ عِشقْ
عيناكِ، كالخمرِ يفوح أسْكَرني لِآخرِ العُمرْ
أنتِ رُوحي، و أنا الروحْ خُذِي جَسديْ، رِهانُ الكُفرْ

حتى عندما يضيع الطريق
حتى عندما اضيع انا
حتى عندما اصير فقير
حتى عندما انسا الغُنا

حتى إن نسيتيني
حتى إن توقف القلب
حتى عندما تتركيني
حتى إن لم يبقى حب

لن أنسا.....لن أنسا
لن أنسا.....لن أنسا

حتى عندما تفنى الأرض
حتى عندما يفوز الشر
حتى عندما يثور البحر
حتى عندما يصبح برد

حتى إن لم تشرق الشمس
حتى إن لم يحدث الحلم
حتى إن تجاهلنا اللمس
حتى إن لم نستطع الرقص

لن أنسا.....لن أنسا
لن أنسا.....لن أنسا

Lan Ansa (I won’t forget):

I lost my self, loved by the soul
I washed my mind, with love's water
I gave up my body, the slaughtered one
I found my soul, full of love
Your eyes, like alcohol spreading
Got me drunk, until the end of time
You are my soul, and I am the soul
Take my body, as mortgage of sin

Even when the way is lost
Even when I am lost
Even when I become poor
Even when we forget the songs

Even if you forget me
Even if the heart stops
Even when you leave me
Even if there is no love left

I won't forget, I won't forget
I won't forget, I won't forget

Even when the earth perishes
Even when evil wins
Even when the sea rebels
Even when it becomes cold

Even if the sun doesn't rise
Even if the dream doesn’t happen
Even if we avoid to touch
Even if we couldn't dance

I won't forget, I won't forget
I won't forget, I won't forget
