Open the big gates,
guards standing in front of them,
lamassu next to the walls,
The sound of bells ringing my ear,
Invite my friends** from Alqosh,
Send messengers for them.
SHow them the way to Alqosh.
I've been seperated from it for centuries (generations),
Let me enter your land Alqosh,
I will take my breathe from your air,
I miss the sound of bullets,
from Toma Tomas's rifle.
I miss my gatherings (kinsha is gathering) shara.
They used to go to rabban hurmiz (monastery),
I will accept you to be my cemetery (place of burial),
If only you are in my life. (as long as you are in my life)
That's the best I could do. I wasn't sure about mekhoreh, I guessed she was saying my friends and mashoreh I think is messengers. I dunno.
Any corrections are welcome.
