about

"Leely Tweel"
by 200 Shams

Trivia:

Started off as a celebration of solitude while paying homage to a bygone era of Egyptian Pop & film soundtracks with a North African "in the spirit of the night" type of lyrics, 200 Shams unfolds a choir like vocals on a pulsating polyrhythm driven by a phat bass guitar tone with an upbeat performance, flying in around a synth driven framework.

The single represents 200 Shams core elements woven in a more condensed Popish arrangement. It's kinda like emphasizing the pop parts of his second EP "Kalmeeni, Khaleeni Ashra7lek" & de-emphasizing the jam like passages while emphasizing the straight to the point minimal repetition of his latest double single "Atmana A5taf Youm / 5-HT" and de-emphasizing the Dance track oriented arrangement.

lyrics

أنا ليلي طويل ، ما عنده نهاية
و نجمي يغيب ولا ونيس معايا
و دمعي يسيل من شوقي و هوايا
و يا قلب عليل ،ما لقيت دوايا

Loose but true to the meaning, Translation from Egyptian Arabic to English >>>

My nights are long and they seem like they will never end
My stars ain't bright and I have no companions
My tears are flowing because I'm longing to the better days and loved ones
My heart is sick - because of all that - and I have never found my medicine
