A duke (male) or duchess (female) can be either a monarch ruling over a duchy or a member of the nobility, historically of highest rank below the monarch. The title comes from French duc, itself from the Latin dux, 'leader', a term used in republican Rome to refer to a military commander without an official rank (particularly one of Germanic or Celtic origin), and later coming to mean the leading military commander of a province.
In the Middle Ages the title signified first among the Germanic monarchies. Dukes were the rulers of the provinces and the superiors of the counts in the cities and later, in the feudal monarchies, the highest-ranking peers of the king.
During the 19th century many of the smaller German and Italian states were ruled by Dukes or Grand Dukes. But presently, with the exception of the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg, there are no ruling dukes. Duke remains the highest titular peerage in France, Italy, Portugal, Spain, and the United Kingdom. The Pope, as a temporal sovereign, has also but rarely granted the title of Duke and Duchess to persons for services to the Holy See.

I am the one who guided you this far
All you know and all you feel
Nobody must know my name
For nobody would understand
And you kill what you fear
And you fear what you don't understand
I call you for I must leave
You're on your own until the end
There was a choice but now it's gone
I said, "You wouldn't understand
Take what's yours and be damned"
There is no one in my life but you
[Incomprehensible]
Through the sun and rain, through the joy and the pain
I know that our love will remain
There is no one in my life but you
[Incomprehensible]
Through the sun and rain, through the joy and the pain
I know that our love will remain
There is no one in my life but you
[Incomprehensible]
Through the sun and rain, through the joy and the pain
I know that our love will remain
Through the sun and rain, through the joy and the pain
I know that our love will remain
