  • Rima | 2x12" Vinyl LP
    Record/Vinyl + Digital Album

    On December 6th, the German-Syrian band Shkoon will release their long-awaited debut album “Rima”, sending out a message of cultural diversity to the world. Shkoon’s concerts have attracted a diverse audience for many years, bringing together people of all religions, colours and backgrounds.

    Musically, the album is situated between influences of electronic downbeat, deep house, dub and hip-hop. The band members come from a variety of different musical backgrounds and have created their very own sound with a mix of influences between the Arabic and Western world. Piano, violin, synthesizers, percussion and vocals merge oriental melodies with western electronic beats, taking the listener on a journey that blurs the boundaries of cultures.

    Includes unlimited streaming of Rima via the free Bandcamp app, plus high-quality download in MP3, FLAC and more.

lyrics

traditional song from Palestine

وين ع رام الله
وين ع رام الله
ولفي يا مسافر

Where? To Ramallah!
Where? To Ramallah!
Oh my love, are you going to Ramallah?

ذاب قلبي والله
ذاب قلبي والله
يوم الودعتك
ذاب قلبي والله

My heart melted
My heart melted
The day I said goodbye to you
My heart melted

وين يابو شامة
وين يابو شامة
ناوي ع السفر
وين يابو شامة

Where are you going, oh girl with the beauty spot
Where are you going, oh girl with the beauty spot
Are you planning to leave?
Where are you going, oh girl with the beauty spot

لك من بنات الشام
من بنات الشام
خوفي لتعشق من بنات الشام

The Damascene girls
The Damascene girls
I am afraid, you are going to fall in love with one of them

وين ع رام الله
وين ع رام الله
ولفي يا مسافر

Where? To Ramallah!
Where? To Ramallah!
Oh my love, are you going to Ramallah?

ذاب قلبي والله
ذاب قلبي والله
يوم الودعتك ذاب قلبي والله

My heart melted
My heart melted
The day I said goodbye to you
My heart melted

يا رب تعيدو
يا رب تعيدو
حبيب روحي بالسلامة تعيدو

Oh God, bring me back my love
Oh God, bring me back my love
The love of my soul, please bring her back

بالوشم ع ايدو
بالوشم ع ايدو
مكتوب اسمي
بالوشم ع ايدو ...

As a tattoo on her arm
As a tattoo on her arm
My name is written
As a tattoo on her arm

وين ع رام الله
وين ع رام الله
ولفي يا محلق

Where? To Ramallah!
Where? To Ramallah!
Oh my love, are you flying to Ramallah?
Where? To Ramallah!

ذاب قلبي والله
ذاب قلبي والله
يوم الودعتدك
ذاب قلبي والله

My heart melted
My heart melted
The day I said goodbye to you
My heart melted

قالوا قصيرة
قالوا قصيرة
قلت يا گظبة الخنجر

They said “she is short” and I answered them
“So what, the hilt is short aswell”
[traditionally the handle of a dagger is considered the most beautiful part of it]
