lyrics

Jerusalem of Gold
(Sung In Hebrew)

The mountain air is clear as wine,
And the scent of pines is carried on the breeze of twilight.
With the sound of bells,
And in the slumber of tree and stone,
Captured in her dream,
The city that sits solitary,
And in its midst is a wall.
Jerusalem of gold and of bronze, and of light:
Behold, I am a violin for all your songs.
How the cisterns have dried.
The marketplace is empty.
And no one frequents,
The Temple Mount in the Old City.
And in the caves in the mountain.
Winds are howling.
And no one descends to the Dead Sea.
By way of Jericho.
Jerusalem of gold, and of bronze and of light:
Behold I am a violin for all your songs.
But as I come to sing to you today.
And to adorn crowns to you.
I am the smallest of the youngest of your children and of the last poet.
For your name scorches the lips,
Like the kiss of a seraph.
If I forget thee, Jerusalem, which is all gold...
Jerusalem of gold, and of bronze and of light.
Behold I am a violin for all your songs.
