At night I closed my eyes: Mosul and Arbil, I saw them
Villages of the Assyrians: I brought them all to mind

—

At night I closed my eyes: Mosul and Arbil, I saw them
The days of Tkhuma and Kirkuk: Alqosh, Tyari; I remembered
Some villages [were] dilapidated; some, their fruits sweet
Vineyards/orchards woven like braids; the fruit of the date trees [hanging like] chandeliers
The workers, all robust men; their hands had turned to iron
In their hands, sickle and shovel; on their brows sat dew

—

Tall mountains, I climbed; I met the tribes of those who had remained
Mighty Assyrians, Pride of the Nation: the Mountaineers
I arrived at the orchards of Barwar; from the smell of the apples, I was intoxicated
The Sons of Barwar, Stout Lions, full of love and mercy
The [Assyrians of] Baz, those diligent ones; All honored for [their] martyrdom
The needed bread for their dinner table; from the salty sweat of their brows (i.e., a result of their honest hard work)
Arbil the City of Freedom; The Spreader of Christianity
Her monasteries full of shepherds: Assyrian Holy Men

—

In the dream country, I wandered: from village to village, I passed
I arrived at Habania; her hewn body, exhausted
Her land, burned and yellowed; wounded from two wars/battles
Her lake, full of water; one side of hers, fried from heat
Her camps full of levies (Assyrian soldiers), those mighty and valiant ones
Upon their chests were woven bullets; upon their shoulders, their rifles

—

They all gathered before my eyes; they left and never returned
In the places of those red roses: the foreigners planted thorns
They pierced the heart of that country of mine; for oil wells, they paid
For the sake of that with black blood; what [amount of] red blood they spilled
My country, I cannot forget; I will not let it out of my mind
At night, in dreams; in the day, in my singing I remember it

My country, I cannot forget; I will not let it out of my mind
At night, in dreams; in the day, in my singing I remember it
My country, I cannot forget; I will not let it out of my mind
At night, in dreams; in the day, in my singing I remember it
