build the old city, raise the ancient wall
walk in pride brother, sister head up..tall
trace the footsteps, in mud deep
Khoshaba [assyrian name] walked there, Meriam's silent weep
...
*take me to Arrapha city
Shaterloo [my neighbourhood] behind the school
to faces like Shamiran pretty
coloured sweaters in winter wool.
...
Jilu[assyrian tribe] of mine, face like a dream
holy the ground, baptized in sacred stream
Mar-Zaya's[saint] church, high she sit
Peter's rock on a mountain fit.
