User:Yerushalayim shel zahav


 * Avir harim tsalul k'yayin
 * Vereiyach oranim
 * Nissah beru'ach ha'arbayim
 * Im kol pa'amonim.


 * U'vtardemat ilan va'even
 * Shvuyah bachalomah
 * Ha'ir asher badad yoshevet
 * Uvelibah - chomah.


 * The mountain air is clear as water
 * The scent of pines around
 * Is carried on the breeze of twilight,
 * And tinkling bells resound.


 * The trees and stones there softly slumber,
 * A dream enfolds them all.
 * So solitary lies the city,
 * And at its heart -- a wall.


 * Yerushalayim shel zahav
 * Veshel nechoshet veshel or
 * Halo lechol shirayich Ani kinor.


 * Oh, Jerusalem of gold,
 * and of light and of bronze,
 * I am the lute for all your songs.


 * Chazarnu el borot hamayim
 * Lashuk velakikar
 * Shofar koreh behar habayit
 * ba'ir ha'atikah.


 * Uvme'arot asher baselah
 * Alfei shmashot zorchot
 * Nashuv nered el Yam Hemalach
 * B'derech Yericho


 * The wells are filled again with water,
 * The square with joyous crowd,
 * On the Temple Mount within the City,
 * The shofar rings out loud.


 * Within the caverns in the mountains
 * A thousand suns will glow,
 * We'll take the Dead Sea road together,
 * That runs through Jericho.


 * Yerushalayim shel zahav
 * Veshel nechoshet veshel or
 * Halo lechol shirayich Ani kinor.


 * Oh, Jerusalem of gold,
 * and of light and of bronze,
 * I am the lute for all your songs.


 * Ach bevo'i hayom lashir lach
 * Velach likshor k'tarim
 * Katonti mitse'ir bana'ich
 * Ume achron ham'shorerim.


 * Ki shmech tsorev et hasfatayim
 * Keneshikat saraf
 * Im eshkachech Yerushalayim
 * Asher kulah zahav.


 * But as I sing to you, my city,
 * And you with crowns adorn,
 * I am the least of all your children,
 * Of all the poets born.


 * Your name will scorch my lips for ever,
 * Like a seraph's kiss, I'm told,
 * If I forget thee, golden city,
 * Jerusalem of gold.


 * Yerushalayim shel zahav
 * Veshel nechoshet veshel or
 * Halo lechol shirayich Ani kinor.
