I Live And Die For Basra

I live and die for Basra

My heart belongs to Basra

She left a burn inside of me

I live and die for Basra

Sweet Basra

My shining Basra

Shatt al-Arab, how fine you flow

Praise to the One who made you glow

You light the night with joy and song

I live and die for Basra

Sweet Basra

My shining Basra

In Basra lives the town Ashar

With palm trees reaching near and far

And tanned skin shines like desert gold

I live and die for Basra

Sweet Basra

My shining Basra
