Текст песни: Yerushalayim Shel Zahav + перевод

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.1

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.3

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.
