Baghdad Choby
Choby - a popular folk dance and rhythm known in Iraq and other Arabic countries.
Music & arrangements by Gabriel Hermansson
Lyrics by Nadin Al Khalidi
Translation
I recognise that rhythm, your steps
It reminds me of the morning breeze
of my home land,
Especially when you hum the Choby melody
Teach me your song
And hold my hand,
As if you were my beloved
Never mind my shy eyes
While dancing
Never mind me blushing,
Blame it on the colour of the night
I just want to dance the Choby with you,
It´s the dance of my beloved
I just want to sing the Choby with you
It´s his favourite song
Deprived, my heart is
For never seeing my land no more
My beautiful country,
This song is my gift to you
I promise to sing it
Tuned as Baghdad
And rhymes with Choby
Baghdad, the city of peace
Baghdad, the city of my love
