My name is Baghdad
I lived happily
In my palaces of black gold and precious stones
The Tigris River used to flow
On the crystal slabs
A thousand caliphs used to jostle
To be on my dance cards
They called me the City full of Grace
Oh God, time passes by so fast
They called me the capital of light
Oh God, how everything disappears
(chorus)
My name is Baghdad
And I fell
Under the fire of the tanks
Under the fire of the tanks
My name is Baghdad
A defaced princess
Scheherazade
Forgot me
Forgot me
I live on my lands
As a poor beggar under the bulldozers
Spirits haunt me
I cry over the ruins of my beauty
Under the smoldering stones
It's my soul that they're murdering
They called me the capital of light
Oh God, how everything disappears
(chorus)
My tales of the One thousand and one nights
Don't interest anyone any more
They've destroyed everything
They've destroyed everything
(chorus)
Forgot me
My name is Baghdad
I lived happily
In my palaces of black gold and precious stones
The Tigris River used to flow
On the crystal slabs
A thousand caliphs used to jostle
To be on my dance cards
They called me the City full of Grace
Oh God, time passes by so fast
They called me the capital of light
Oh God, how everything disappears
(chorus)
My name is Baghdad
And I fell
Under the fire of the tanks
Under the fire of the tanks
My name is Baghdad
A defaced princess
Scheherazade
Forgot me
Forgot me
I live on my lands
As a poor beggar under the bulldozers
Spirits haunt me
I cry over the ruins of my beauty
Under the smoldering stones
It's my soul that they're murdering
They called me the capital of light
Oh God, how everything disappears
(chorus)
My tales of the One thousand and one nights
Don't interest anyone any more
They've destroyed everything
They've destroyed everything
(chorus)
Forgot me
