About Film:
The Beekeeper (Greek: Ο Μελισσοκόμος, transit. O Melissokomos) is a 1986 Greek drama art film directed by Theodoros Angelopoulos. The film is the second instalment in Angelopoulos's "trilogy of silence", preceded by Voyage to Cythera and followed by Landscape in the Mist.

The Beekeeper was nominated for the Golden Lion in the 43rd Venice International Film Festival. The film was the first of Angelopoulos's to use an already well-known actor, in this case, Marcello Mastroianni, who by the time has won the Best Actor award at the 1970 Cannes Film Festival once and has been nominated for the Best Actor at the 50th Academy Awards once.

„Rabeh“ is a song dedicated to contemporary dancer Hassan Rabeh, who committed suicide in 2016. 

„Rabeh“ narrates the two stories of the eponymous artist: one of a talented and aspiring young man, part of globally acclaimed Sima Dance Company, and another one of a refugee, who was forced to flee places he called home twice. From Palestine to Syria when he was a child, and after the war broke out to Beirut, Lebanon. He turned only 25 years old.

The tragedy of Hassan Rabeh’s death touched singer Yousef Kekhia, a Syrian refugee himself, so much that he promised to write him „a song he could dance to up there“. Even though the two never met, Kekhia felt connected to this artist’s story, and that his story needs to be told and shall not be forgotten.

„Rabeh“ is part of the „Prologue Sessions“, a prequel to Yousef Kekhia’s debut album „Monologue“, which release is set for 2019. The song was recorded live in Kekhia’s Berlin studio.

Lyrics: (English scroll below)

طار بعد اخر رقصة، ليه؟
طار من سابع ليل
كان يا مكان
كان في امير
بيرقص و بقلبو فلسطين
و الارض يابا لمين؟
جذورنا و المقاومة و التوطين
و الحنين يابا..

خلي قصصنا تطلع للشمس و تصحينا
عبا السواد حوارينا
من البحر للقمر للنجوم
عم ننسا بعضنا كل يوم
و قلو للقمر يضوي قلوبنا
خجلنا للرقص عبق همومنا
من التعب للمرض للجنون
بشوفك بالجنة شي يوم

رقوص عايقاع سواد الليل 
لوحدتك و حريتك يا خيل
كان يا مكان
كان في سجين
مربوط تحت فكرة الترحيل
بوطن عم يكذب باسم الدين
مع الوراق المصنفة للاجئين
الوداع يابا...

خلي قصصنا تطلع للشمس و تصحينا
عبا السواد حوارينا
من البحر للقمر للنجوم
عم ننسا بعضنا كل يوم
و قلو للقمر يضوي قلوبنا
خجلنا للرقص عبق همومنا
من التعب للمرض للجنون
بشوفك بالجنة شي يوم

He flied after the last dance. Why?
He flied from the seventh night
Once upon a time
There was a prince 
That dances with Palestine in his heart
And who owns this earth my dear?
Our roots, the resistance and the settlements
And the nostalgia my dear...

Let our stories rise up to the sun to wake us up
The darkness has filled our neighbourhoods
From the sea to the moon to the stars
We are forgetting each other every day
Tell the moon to lighten our hearts
Our shame to dance has tightened our worries
From tiredness to sickness to craziness
I’ll see you in heaven one day

Dance on the rhythm of the dark night
For your loneliness, for your freedom you horse 
Once upon a time
There was a prisoner 
Tightened under the concept of deportation
In a country where they lie in the name of religion
With papers labeled for “refugees”
Farewell my dear...

Let our stories get up to the sun and wake us up
The darkness has filled our neighbourhoods
From the sea to the moon to the stars
We are forgetting each other every day
Tell the moon to lighten our hearts
Our shame to dance has tightened our worries
From tiredness to sickness to craziness
I’ll see you in heaven one day
