Understanding cultures through literature

So...how do Iraqies sing about love????

"ya 7aya yum rassain, 6ubi ib jederhum
Simmay ahal il bait, bas khali waladhum"

translation: Oh snake of two heads, plunge into their cooking pots
poison the entire household, except for my lover

They say that through music and poetry, you get a glimpse of the underlying character of the society.

Despite its malicious nature and violent language, I really love this song (from darb il zalag) !!
