    Amrat امرات
    12" Vinyl LP includes lyric-printed inner sleeve

    In “Amrat” (Sometimes in Arabic), Rasha Nahas enters new sonic territory with a bold, honest and nostalgic two-chapter album in Arabic language.

    The record marks Nahas’ first release in her mother tongue following her latest theatrical-poetic rock album, Desert (2021).

    ‘Amrat’ is a sentimental body of work. Structured as two distinctive chapters, the album conjures a sonic backdrop that is fluid yet clearly defined. It maneuvers seamlessly between the thematic duality of urban and rural landscapes– waltzing between contemporary electronica and the rawness of the old-school, singer-songwriter era.

    The first chapter of Amrat was born of city streets, dipped in the sweetness of melancholia and the distortion of alienation. It was written in Berlin during the pandemic while Nahas cradled a hand injury that forced her to set the guitar aside and compose pain-free, electronic, music produced exclusively with synth loops, and in the comfort of her bedroom.

    Chapter two of ‘Amrat’ is an anthology of songs inspired by the longing for rural scenery. With classical guitars at the core, Nahas’ signature songwriting is enveloped by tender vocals and an army of percussion that journeys across West Asia, North Africa, via Andalusia, and back to Berlin.

lyrics

HABBETEK (I Loved You)

ENGLISH LYRICS

Verse 1
I didn’t even want to sing
Anything, here
I told you
I told you that I live
from day to day
A plane goes up
Down
Quite crazy
Your eyes don’t have a color anyway

Chorus
I loved you from
beneath the earth to
above the clouds
I loved you from
beneath the earth to
above the clouds

Verse 2
Don’t think that
I’ve forgotten the wounds
Don’t think that
I know where to go
That night you undressed
A cloth of shame
And the night is dark
The stars dim

Chorus
I loved you from
beneath the earth to
above the clouds
I loved you from
beneath the earth to
above the clouds

ARABIC LYRICS
حبيتك

مكنتش اصلا بدي اغني
شي هون
حكيتلك
حكيتلك اني
عايشة
من يوم ليوم

طيارة تطلع
تنزل
شي مجنون
عيونك اصلا ما الها لون

حبيتك من تحت الأرض لفوق الغيوم

حبيتك من تحت الأرض لفوق الغيوم

ما تفكري اني ناسي الجروح
ما تفكري اني عارفة وين اروح
والليلة شلحت
توب اللوم
والليلة عتمة
عتم النجوم

حبيتك من تحت الأرض لفوق الغيوم
حبيتك من تحت الأرض لفوق الغيوم
