Love Songs
Kurdish Folk Songs and Dances Lyrics

The opening lines of the song "Love Songs" by Kurdish Folk Songs and Dances translate to "They say the cupbearer is a friend on the day of battle, but I say a cannon is better." This is a very interesting opening line as it contrasts the traditional idea of the cupbearer as a supportive figure with the singer's preference for a more powerful weapon. The following lines also describe the powerlessness of a person without a weapon, with the singer suggesting that without a cannon, even the bravest person is defenseless.

The next lines suggest the singer's personal experience with guns, describing how they sold a gun and bought bullets instead. The third and fourth lines describe the importance of a gun in battle, with even the most skilled and powerful soldier being nothing without one. Throughout the song, there is a sense of longing for a more powerful weapon, whether it be a gun or a cannon, and a sense of vulnerability without one.
