Yekhaf

Yekhaf - يخاف (Official teaser)

A new situation
An unfamiliar move
Strange energy
Are you intimidated by me

Days go by, then when meeting
Mountains of fear rise and your fire fades  
You’d think it all over again for hours
Hesitant, you say  “I’ve missed you”
Just for a moment, then your hunger is fed

If you’d listen you might understand me
Don't go too far with the thoughts
Be kind to me, I'm your loved one
Don’t treat me like a stranger 
and keep being intimidated by me

Days go by, then when meeting
Mountains of fear rise and your fire fades  
You’d think it all over again for hours
Hesitant, you say  “I’ve missed you”
Just for a moment, then your hunger is fed

Be kind to me, I'm your your loved one
Don’t treat me like a stranger
and keep being intimidated by me

Days go by, then when meeting
mountains of fear rise 
and your fire fades  
You’d think it all over again for hours
Hesitant, you say  “I’ve missed you”
Just for a moment, then your hunger is fed

I intimidate him!

حالة جديدة
حركة غريبة
طاقة عجيبة
مني تخاف 

وتروح أيام و لما نلتقي 
جبال الخوف تِعلى و شمعك ينطفي 
تعيد تفكير ساعات قبل ما تيجي 
وتقول مشتاق بخوف و بلحظة تكتفي 

حاول تسمعني
يمكن تفهمني 
ولاتروح بعيد بالتفكير 
عاملني بطيبة
انا حبيبة 
وكأني غريبة
تظّل مني تخاف

 وتروح أيام و لما نلتقي 
جبال الخوف تِعلى و شمعك ينطفي 
تعيد تفكير ساعات قبل ما تيجي 
وتقول مشتاق بخوف و بلحظة تكتفي 

مني يخاف

Yekhaf - I intimidate him - يخاف

TARABBAND - Ashofak Baden
Music by Gabriel Hermansson
Lyrics by Nadin Al Khalidi
From the album "Ashofak Baden" KAPCD009, Kap Syd 2016

"A last minute conversation between a newly wedded couple, just few minutes before they were separated by the cruelty and force of war. This song is dedicated to them, where ever they are today. 
She - was forced to escape town just few minutes before the horrific occupation. He - had to stay with his old parents who wouldn't make it escaping. The last thing the couple did before separating is taking a last photography of themselves".  Nadin

Lyrics
 
Ashofak Baden

We'll meet some night later
By the banks of Tigris river
When two houses stand
Where there once was only land

The way to me is drawn on this photo
The story of my home is in this photo
The words of the pioneers are in this photo
Your sacred name is also written on this photo

My dream, to see my land blossom
Wars and pain in the past
The highest walls lay crumbled
That is my dream, my land in bloom

Then we'll meet, some night, later
By the banks of Tigris river
When two houses stand
Where there once was only land

We'll meet, some night, later
By the Tigris river's braids
Where that broken tree, that ruined land
Finally grew into homes

My words, my dear, are written on this photo
Don't wipe them away
Within them, greetings and longing
A reminder, always

My dream, to see my land blossom
Wars and pain are in the past
The highest walls lay crumbled
That is my dream, my land in bloom

(Kurdish) Ave chela bedah – Water the land

Ashofak Baden

TARABBAND - Misteniyak
Music by Romain Coutama
Lyrics by Nadin Al Khalidi
From the album "Ashofak Baden" KAPCD009, Kap Syd 2016

Lyrics (English translation)

I keep waiting
Your space is empty still
In sunrise and sunset and in between

No thought of you for days on end
I lose faith, I keep busy
Avoid the thought of you
When suddenly, it comes back
The longing

Un signe de toi serais
L'apparition d'une ombre insaisissable
Obscure et mystérieuse sans doute irréel
Un signe de toi serais
Consécration d'un monde imaginnaire
Illusoire ou truqué

I keep waiting
It is all I am
Your space is empty still, do you care
I keep waiting
For your precious words
Absent from the paper

TARABBAND - Heli
Music by Gabriel Hermansson
Lyrics by Nadin Al Khalidi
From the album "Ashofak Baden" KAPCD009, Kap Syd 2016

English lyrics translation:

Your voice is known to me
It brings back the warmth of Heli
A question, a moment
A letter, an address

If you ever walk the homeward way
Would you take this letter to Heli?
And upon return, if we meet again
I will tell the tale of Heli

Heli, they remain far away
A memory that occupy my thoughts
My longing keeps calling
Go then, let me know
How is Heli, my home

You will go while I remain, awaiting news from Heli
You will go while I remain, wondering about Heli

(Heli – The family, friends and dear ones, left at home)

From the album "Ashofak Baden" KAPCD009, Kap Syd 2016

Lyrics (English translation)

Return home, precious one
Your return is news of freedom
Return, you are the moonlight of this land
You are its legacy
For your hands, Hinna of light

Celebrate her return
Drums and parades
Keep her memory alive
For her thirst, rose water

Return to us precious one
Your voice is the song of freedom
For your return our homes and streets adorned
For your hands, Hinna of light

Celebrate her return
Drums and parades
Keep her memory alive
For her thirst, rose water
You are news of freedom, Ceylan

- In memory of Ceylan, 18 years old, armed with bravery alone, defended her village in northern Iraq

Lyrics by Nadin Al Khalidi

Lyrics (English translation)

It calms our desire
The fighting disappears
If we begin with a peaceful ”salam”
Peace to you and us
Answer the call for peace
Repeat the word salam
Sing it loud, embrace it, don't kill it
Respond to it with the eye
Salam, peace to you and us

Salam Alekum

TARABBAND - Rassina
Music by Gabriel Hermansson
Lyrics by Nadin Al Khalidi
From the album "Ashofak Baden" KAPCD009, Kap Syd 2016

English lyrics translation:

We were told the sea would calm down
For sure, we would all be safe
We were told to hold on tight
On board, there was still space
One more would join us
For whom, we threw away
Our names and our stories, in the water
We were told, keep sailing
To an unknown bay

We sail and fall asleep
We wake up and realize
That we've drifted on the endless sea
Take us to land
Anchor us

We were told not to worry
The sea wouldn't take anyone
Waves would not be cruel
They would wave at us only from a distance
While we rowed with our lives and souls
While our prayers sank into the sea
Leaving that weary town, was it a mistake?

Take us to land
Anchor us

Take us to land
Anchor us

- In memory of all the ones who had no way out, but the sea

TARABBAND - Sadiqi
Music by Filip Runesson
Lyrics by Nadin Al Khalidi
From the album "Ashofak Baden" KAPCD009, Kap Syd 2016

Lyrics (English translation)

Talk of books and people confused us
My friend, we are still the same
We haven't given up, we are just wiser
That is why, I adore us

Years have passed
The memory of our words comfort me
Even when far, your thoughts speak to me
That is why, I adore us

Age, irrelevant to us
Our random meetings, satisfying
You remained simple, and I am brief
That is something only you understand

My friend, people will wonder
Theorize, devise and judge
They will call our friendship extinct 
That is why, I adore it

TARABBAND - Molokhya
Music by Filip Runesson
From the album "Ashofak Baden" KAPCD009, Kap Syd 2016

Molokhya: a lovely traditional stew, cooked especially in Egypt, Northern Africa, Syria and Lebanon.

Molokhya – the Royal: a plant that was prepared and served exclusively to the kings of ancient Egypt.

Another story: Molo Khya – ”Eat Khya”
Khya was called ”the poisoning plant” in the Pharaonic era. 
When Egypt was invaded by the Hyksos, the Egyptians were 
ordered to eat the poisoning plant ”Molo Khya” with the aim 
to break the Pharaonic civilization.

Baghdad Choby - song lyrics translation:

I recognize that rhythm, your steps
It reminds me of the morning breeze
of my home land,
Especially when you hum the Choby melody

Teach me your song
And hold my hand,
As if you were my beloved

Never mind my shy eyes
While dancing
Never mind me blushing,
Blame it on the colour of the night

I just want to dance the Choby with you,
It's the dance of my beloved
I just want to sing the Choby with you
It's his favourite song

Deprived, my heart is
For never seeing my land no more
My beautiful country,
This song is my gift to you

I promise to sing it
Tuned as Baghdad
And rhymes with Choby

Baghdad, the city of peace
Baghdad, the city of my love
