Ashur Bet Sargis Bet Nahrain live with subtitles

The greatest Assyrian song every written! Acknowledged by the vast majority of Assyrians and Assyrian singers.
Bet Nahrain literarly translated could mean house of rivers or between the rivers
(BEEL D NAAH-RAA-WAA-TEH).
Mesopotamia in Greek means "Between the rivers".
Assyrians use it as another word for Greater Assyria
(we also use AA-TOR for Assyria as the English use the words Great Britian and England)
