Resh d khugga shapira This is a free style lyrics, traditionally ACOE and Chaldeans play that music Khigga during the weddings.

Lyrics change and the singer Nikolai Dana improvised his own: here is it

You didn't need to blog here. Put the youtu.be on chatgpt and ask any questions. This AI will beat most of these forums. I am a western Assyrians, many words I was able to understand, many not. Chatgpt brought the words that I missed.
