Description
Here’s the new episode of [SESSIONS] with the incredible Yasmine Hamdan who stopped by in Brussels with her musicians to perform two songs from her latest album ‘I remember I forget بنسى وبتذكر'. A trailblazer of Arabic indie electronic pop and a key figure in the underground music scene, Yasmine Hamdan blurs the lines between traditional sounds, electronic textures, and hypnotic melodies.
“It was so nice to do the [SESSIONS] in Bruxelles with [PIAS] and the Belgian team, thank you to everyone there and to the musicians.
Happy to see 'Mor ر التجني' and 'Hon هون' filmed for the first time and of course, it was a pleasure to play these songs with the magical sound of the Qanoun instrument⭐️.” – Yasmine Hamdan
Original versions of ‘Mor ر التجني’ and ‘Hon ر التجني’ can be found on the album , ‘I remember I forget بنسى وبتذكر', released via Crammed Discs last September: https://yasminehamdan.ffm.to/irememberiforget

▬▬▬▬ LYRICS ▬▬▬▬
Mor /مرّ التجنّي
مرّ التجني، بديع المحيّا
حلو التثني، أدر لي الحميّا
أمان، ليلي ليلي يا عين
ليلي ليلي يا ليل، أدر لي الحميّا
Bitter blame, perfect face
Beautiful sway, pour me some wine
Please, o my night
Pour me some wine
Hon / هون
هون
شو صاير هون
انهيار
وكوم حبّ
يوم
يوم ورا يوم
بستجوب التلفون
قتيل بغرفة النوم
كلّ يوم پروڤة قتل هون
مش قادرة إفصل
خَلَص
خلِص الحكي هون
أرض صغيرة وجرح كبير
ناس تضلّ وناس تغيب
غيم
بوسط الصالون
غيمة حزن
معي هون
هزّة بدَن وعالتّلفزيون
خَلَص
خلِص الحكي هون
أرض صغيرة
وجرح كبير
ناس تضلّ
ناس تضلّ وناس تغيب
أرض صغيرة وجرح كبير
What happened here?
A collapse
And a mountain of love
Day after day
I am questioning my phone
There is a dead body in my bedroom
everyday they rehearse their killing
I can’t dissociate
done
What’s left to say
A tiny land
With a gaping wound
Some people linger
And some go absent
Clouds in the living room
darkness sitting with me
my body is shaking and the TV is on
done
What’s left to say
A tiny land
With a gaping wound
Some people linger
And some go absent
