  • 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

Lyrics by Ameen Khayer

Ich laufe auf der Straße lang
Weil ich nicht mehr stehen kann
Ich laufe auf der Straße lang
Obwohl ich nicht mehr gehen kann

Oh bitte
Lass mich alleine sein
Lass mich alleine sein
Ich bin so besoffen... man

ظللك عايش ع الحديدة الليرة صارت مو مفيدة
ترى الليرة صارت مو مفيدة
ظللك عايش ع الحديدة الليرة صارت مو مفيدة
ترى الليرة صارت مو مفيدة

Stay broke, because Lira is worth nothing anymore
Stay broke, because Lira is not that useful anymore

تسنكح بالشوارع و اشرب نخب العمر لأقرب مهرب
تسنكح بالشوارع و اشرب نخب العمر لأقرب مهرب
خذلك كاسة من الزجاجة خذلك كاسة من الزجاجة
و عندما الدنيا دي تبرم اركظ حافي ك الدجاجة

Come on, hang around in the streets and get drunk
And raise your glass for the closest escape
Pour a glass from the bottle
Yeah, pour a glass from the bottle
And as soon as the universe starts spinning around, run barefoot like a chicken

شلون ردحچ يا عمارة
شلون ردحچ يا عمارة

Let’s party, oh people of Amara [neighborhood in Baghdad]
Let’s party, oh people of Amara

اهي دنيا غريبة و حياتك مريبة
اهي دنيا غريبة و حياتك مريبة
اهي دنيا غريبة و حياتك مريبة
حياتك مريبة
حياتك مريبة..

This is a strange world and your life seems suspicious
This is a strange world and your life seems suspicious
This is a strange world and your life seems suspicious
Your life seems suspicious
Your life seems suspicious

شلون ردحچ يا عمارة ..

Let’s party, oh people of Amara
