We are the lions of the plains
We are the eagles of the mountains
Emerged with bows and arrows
Our enemies are screeching
If you are from Tyari
Or if you are from Urmi
Strengthen/uphold yourself with a loud voice, my brother
“I am Assyrian!”
Don’t let the enemy executioner
Dance from his happiness
While we’re burning in the fire
No, we have not gone crazy
To allow our existence of ages
To fall into the hands of our enemies
—
We are the lions of the plain
We are the eagles of the mountain
Emerged with bows and arrows, my brother
Our enemies are screeching
You can be from Jilu
Or you can be from Barwar
You are in need of love, my brother
And the unity of Ninevites (Assyrians)
Don’t let the enemy executioner
Dance from his happiness
While we’re burning in the fire
No, we have not gone crazy
To allow our existence of ages
To fall into the hands of our enemies
—
We are the fire of the sun
We are the stars of the evening
How could we leave our mother
Pain and death to endure [alone]
Do not be tribalist
Do not pledge yourself to others [nations]
Increase your knowledge, my son
Of the [our] ancient world
So we can become known again
Known like Sargon and Sennacherib
[whom] brought down their oppressive enemies
So it can become known again
Nineveh and Chaldean Babylonia
And Assyrian [queen] Shamiram
—
If you want, we can return to the plain
If you want, we can climb the mountain
We’ll return with a white dove in our hand
With our flag waving
Full of knowledge
And healthy unity
Then our city will rise, my brother
Our second tower
We will be known again
Known like our ancestors
[whom] brought down their oppressive enemies
So it will be known again
Like Nineveh and Chaldean Babylonia
And Jesus Christ’s first “shepherding” [evangelisation] (the first Christians included
Assyrians)
—
We are the lions of the plain
We are the eagles of the mountain
Emerged with bows and arrows, my brother
Our enemies are screeching
If you are from Tkhuma
Or if you are from Mar Bisho
Strengthen/uphold yourself with a loud voice, my brother
“I am Assyrian!”
Don’t let the enemy executioner
Dance from his happiness
While we’re burning in the fire
No, we have not gone crazy
To allow our existence of ages
To fall into the hands of our enemies
