Lyrics: (English scroll below)

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 gets lost
Even when I get lost
Even when I become poor
Even when we forget the songs

Even if you forget me
Even if the heart stopped 
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

Lyrics (English below):

بدي أبحر


بدي أبحر بعيد
محل ما البحر فاضي
والأقنعة عم بتطير
محل الانسان مو منسي

بدي أبحر بعيد
بهالقارب الخشبي 
بلكي بشوفك هنيك
بجرب سمعك صوتي

بدي أبحر بعيد
صوب القمر والنجمة
عند الامير الصغير
محل ما اناكألت الوردة

والالوان عم بتصيح
ليتفيقني من الفرشة
وما ارجع فيق
وما أبحر ولا نتفة


Bedi Ebhor: (I Want to Sail Away)

I want to sail away 
Where the sea is empty
Masks are flying off of faces
Where humans are forgotten

I want to sail away
Within this wooden boat
Maybe I’ll see you there
Try to show you my voice 

I want to sail away
Towards the moon and the star
Towards the little prince
Where the rose was eaten

While the colours scream
To wake me up from my dream
But I never wake up
And I don’t sail at all

I don’t sail at all
I don’t sail at all

Lyrics (English Below):

بقلب الشمس شفناه
و بعمق البحر عشناه
كتبه الموت
لحن الحياة

و لما الشمس بتروح 
و الوقت بالفلا موقوف
رح يجي دور
لحن الحياة

ريحة تراب الشارع النديان
مع الشمعة و صمت الاذان
بلحظة الخوف
بلحن الحياة

بعد الصمت في شروق
بوقتها الطير رح يطلع فوق حدود
و يعيد من فوق
لحن الحياة

we saw it within the sun
and lived it in the ocean’s depths
death wrote of it
the anthem of life

and when the sun flickers away
and time stops dead in the cosmos
the turn will come for
the anthem of life

the smell of wet soil in the street
with a candle and silent minarets
in the moment of fear
of the anthem of life

after the silence comes the dawn
thus the bird will rise above the borders
and will repeat from above
the anthem of life

Lyrics: (English scroll below)

لما الغرفة بتصغر قدامي
و الخطوط، عم تكبر
الغريب القاعد مكاني 
و الإيمان عم يصغر

لما الكل بعالم تاني
و الفراغ عم يغمق
ماعم نفيق ولا حتى ثواني
و الحروب عم تكثر

خدوني على بلادي
و ما تقلي رح تعمر
بكفيني الدمار القدامي
لأفهم، مين أخرس

ما عم اقدر سيطر على حالي
ولا حتى اش أخسر
قالولي الحرية شي خيالي
ليكني حر بس أخرس

خذني على بلادي و ماتقلي رح تعمر، ما تقلي، لا لا

لا لا.....


As I feel the room grow small around me
and the lines are growing deeper
This stranger sitting instead of me
and faith getting weaker

When everyone is in another world
and the emptiness gets bleaker
We lay dormant, not awake for a single second
and the wars are multiplying


Take me back to my country
and don’t tell me it’ll be rebuilt
I’ve seen enough destruction 
to understand who remains silent

I’m losing control over myself 
not even what I’m losing
They told me freedom is an imaginary thing
Yet here I am, free but in silence


Take me to my country and don’t tell me it’ll be rebuilt, don’t tell me, no no  x  3

No, no…..

Two years after “Monologue”, Berlin-based musician Yousef Kekhia is releasing his sophomore record “Polylog”, a fitting successor to his moving debut. While “Monologue” appeared as a hypnotic soliloquy, impressing listeners particularly because of its focus inwards, “Polylog” opens up to the world, inviting it in and making a diversity of perspectives, experiences and concepts of life visible through its polyphonic nature.

With “Polylog”, Yousef Kekhia releases a record that gives so much more than it promises: it is the mature work of a young artist, it fuses the poetic traditions of the Arabic language with contemporary electronic music. It brings the discussion about new forms of masculinity to the dancefloor, shares thoughts for the morning after, and creates a future we could all be grateful to experience.

Album drops December 3rd, 2021.
