religious music - jerusalem of gold lyrics

Loading...

as clear as wine, the wind is flying
among the dreamy pines
as evening light is slowly dying
and a lonely bell still chimes.

so many songs, so many stories
the stony hills recall…
around her heart my city carries
a lonely ancient wall.

yerushalaim all of gold
yerushalaim, bronze and light
within my heart i shall treasure
your song and sight.

alas, the dry wells and fountains,
forgotten market-day
the sound of h-rn from temple’s mountain
no longer calls to pray.

the rocky caves at night are haunted
by sounds of long ago
when we were going to the jordan
by way of jericho.

yerushalaim all of gold
yerushalaim, bronze and light
within my heart i shall treasure
your song and sight.

but when i come to count your praises
and sing hallel to you
with pretty rhymes i dare not crown you
as other poets do.

upon my lips is always burning
your name, so dear, so old:
if i forget yerushalaim
of bronze and light and gold…

yerushalaim all of gold
yerushalaim, bronze and light
within my heart i shall treasure
your song and sight.

back to the wells and to the fountains
within the ancient walls
the sound of h-rn from temple’s mountain
again so loudly calls,

from rocky caves, this very morning
a thousand suns will glow
and we shall go down to the jordan
by way of jericho.

yerushalaim all of gold
yerushalaim, bronze and light
within my heart i shall treasure
your song and sight.

in hebrew:

avir harim zalul kayayin
ve-rei’ah oranim
nissa be-ru’ah ha’arbayim
i’m kol pa’amonim

u-ve-tardemat ilan va-even
shvuyah ba-halomah
ha-ir asher badad yoshevet
u-ve-libbah homah

yerushalayim shel zahav
ve-shel nehoshet ve-shel or
ha-lo le-khol shirayikh
ani kinnor.

eikhah yavshu borot ha-mayim
kikkar ha-shuk reikah
ve-ein poked et har ha-bayit
ba-ir ha-attikah

u-va-me’arot asher ba-selah
meyallelot ruhot
ve-ein yored el yam ha-melah
be-derekh yeriho

yerushalayim shel zahav
ve-shel nehoshet ve-shel or
ha-lo le-khol shirayikh
ani kinnor.

akh be-vo’i ha-yom la-shir lakh
ve-lakh likshor ketarim
katonti mi-ze’ir bana’ikh
u-me-aharon ha-mesh-r-rim

ki shemekh zorev et ha-sefatayim
ke-neshikat saraf
i’m eshkakhekh yerushalayim
asher kullah zahav

yerushalayim shel zahav
ve-shel nehoshet ve-shel or
ha-lo le-khol shirayikh
ani kinnor.

hazarnu el borot ha-mayim
la-shuk ve-la-kikkar
shofar kore be-har ha-bayit
ba-ir ha-attikah

u-va-me’arot asher ba-selah
alfey shemashot zorhot
nashuv nered el yam ha-melah
be-derekh yeriho

yerushalayim shel zahav
ve-shel nehoshet ve-shel or
ha-lo le-khol shirayikh
ani kinnor.
