Also, I’m sorry that I couldn’t write the lyrics of all the songs, but I couldn’t find them or understand them all (especially the Assyrian ones). My apologies if I have spelling mistake in the Assyrian songs, I recently learned the alphabet, so I’m not proficient yet. For any correction or any suggestion in lyrics, feel free to comment below and I will correct or add them. Thank you for watching!! I hope my message is clear enough. Did you enjoy the video?
