The City of Duhok

Near the northern end 
Of the Tigris river valley 
there's the beautiful city of duhok 
Next to the boarder of turkey

A city of many fruit orchards 
A very popular tourist destination 
with a fruit canning plant 
That supplies the whole nation

With palm tress on both sides 
Of the streets in straight lines 
And in this beautiful city Duhok 
Lives a very good friend of mines

its the most peaceful city in Iraq 
Where the grass are so green 
With two chains of mountains 
and a flowers valley in between

From the clef mountain gully zawita 
Bamarny and suara tuga resorts 
Modern casinos, in the middle of gardens 
With a combination of culture and sports

with happy children playing in the park 
In the majestic garden of dream city 
To the AMADIYA ANTIQUE CASTLE 
A place of so many things to see

There is a girl with a great smile 
Going to buy candy and sweets 
Shes a;ways so kind and friendly 
Bringing joy to every one she meets

and she keeps my heart 
in the city of Duhok with her 
so i,m always close to her chest 
although our distance are so far

i have never seen her in person 
but i love her with my heart and soul 
she the only one i want to be with 
although we,re from different part of the world

everything about her is perfect 
shes beautiful smart and clever 
and one day i will be in her arms 
and its why i will stay forever

i know one day i will meet her 
In the heart of this Iraqi town 
We will go and have ice cream 
And talk until the sun goes down

In the city of duhok 
A place of pure magical beauty 
Lives the most beautiful girl 
In the world to me
