One Day We Will... Poem by Majid Gaggi

One Day we will return to you, our homes

Drowning in warm hopes

We will return no matter how long it takes

Distanced distance between us

We will return to thee, O our land

In the depths of your heart are our roots

We will return to you Bakhdida(*) , our mother

You were warm bosom to us

In you and from you boast our days

In you and for you open our eyes

In you and from you delight our ears

For you dance with joy our hearts

You are our resort in our sorrows

In you adorned and blessed our joys

Our cross will remain high in your sky

It is our symbol and our boasting

To you our songs and hymns will rise up

Which comes from our throats?

Thanking and glorifying our Redeemer and Savior

Please o bird says hi to her,

And Explain to her our eagerness and yearning

To her and all our occasions and celebrations

With it we want for our eyes to be open

It fails to thrill our hearts

Our ears are eager to hear the ringing of its bells

Our noses are eager to sniff and breathe its air

From her and to her is our situation

Because she is the beginning and ending

She is our wealth, possession and what we own

One day we will return to our land

The Cradle of our fathers and grandfathers

Yes, the Nightingale tell me about that

The day we met on a curve

To the terms of comfort and bliss

It is our best hopes and sweeter dreams

That will be the hope, the desired objectives

There will be joyfully hugs and meeting


(*) Bakhdida: It's my usurped town by terrorist gangs (Daesh) , located at northern Iraq
