لأجلك يا مدينة الصلاة... أصلي
For you, O city of prayers I pray
لأجلك يا بهية المساكن... يا زهرة المدائن
For you, with your splendid houses... O flower of cities
يا قدس... يا قدس
O Jerusalem O Jerusalem!
يا قدس... يا مدينة الصلاة... أصلي
O Jerusalem O city of prayers I pray

عيوننا إليك ترحل كل يوم... ترحل كل يوم
Our eyes travel in your direction every day, every day...
تدور في أروقة المعابد
They wade through the temples...
تعانق الكنائس القديمة
They embrace the ancient churches...
وتمسح الحزن عن المساجد
They wipe the sadness off the mosques...
يا ليلة الإسراء... يا درب من مروا إلى السماء
O nocturnal journey O path of those who have attained the Heavens
عيوننا إليك ترحل كل يوم... وإنني أصلي
Our eyes travel in your direction every day and I am praying...

الطفل في المغارة وأمه مريم وجهان يبكيان
The Child in the cave and His mother Mary, two weeping faces
يبكيان... لإجل من تشردوا... لأجل أطفال بلا منازل
Weeping for those who were exiled! For children without houses!
لأجل من دافع واستشهد في المداخل
For those who defended their homeland, for those martyrs on their doorsteps
واستشهد السلام... في وطن السلام
And peace became a martyr ... in the land of peace
وسقط العدل على المداخل
And justice was lost on the doorsteps
حين هوت مدينة القدس تراجع الحب وفي قلوب الدنيا استوطنت الحرب
When Jerusalem fell, love retreated, and war settled in the heart of the world
الطفل في المغارة وأمه مريم وجهان يبكيان
The Child in the cave and His mother Mary, two weeping faces
وإنني أصلي
And I am praying

الغضب الساطع آتٍ... وأنا كلي إيمان
The striking fury is on its way, and I am full of faith!
الغضب الساطع آتٍ... سأمر على الأحزان
The striking fury is on its way, and I will overcome the sadness
من كل طريق آتٍ... بجياد الرهبة آتٍ
From every direction, it is coming! ... On the horses of awe, it is coming!
وكوجه الله الغامر آتٍ
And there is no doubt about it, it is coming!
لن يقفل باب مدينتنا فأنا ذاهبة لأصلي
The gates of our city will not be locked, for I am heading there to pray
سأدق على الأبواب... وسأفتحها الأبواب
I will knock on the doors... And the doors shall be opened
وستغسل يا نهر الأردن... وجهي بمياه قدسية
And you, O Jordan River, will wash my face with holy water
وستمحو يا نهر الأردن... آثار القدم الهمجية
And you, O Jordan River, will erase the trace of the barbaric feet
الغضب الساطع آتٍ... بجياد الرهبة آتٍ
The striking fury is on its way! On the horses of awe, it is coming!
وسيهزم وجه القوة... سيهزم وجه القوة
And it will conquer the meagre power!
البيت لنا... والقدس لنا
Bethlehem is ours! Jerusalem is ours!
وبأيدينا سنعيد بهاء القدس
And with our hands we will return the glow of Jerusalem
بأيدينا للقدس سلام آتٍ
With our hands, peace will be brought upon Jerusalem
للقدس سلام آتٍ
Peace is coming to Jerusalem!
للقدس سلام آتٍ... آتٍ... آتٍ!
Peace is coming to Jerusalem! It is coming!

@maaleadummim NOTHING EXIST IN JERUSALEM as "ancient"

make Google for Palestinian_synagogues

[maaleadummim]

@mahaabuzainah If it hadn't been for your brothers to ruin the most part of what was left from the Ancient Jewish culture after my people had been forced to leave their homeland, maybe we could have seen more ancient synagogues today in that place you call "Palestine" - Israel.

@maaleadummim We have on this earth what makes life worth living: on this earth, the Lady of Earth, mother of all beginnings and ends. She was called Palestine. Her name later became Palestine. My Lady, because you are my Lady, I deserve life. MAHMOUD DARWISH :)

جايين يا بني صهيون... راح نمسحكم عن وجه الارض هذه المره

The whole debate going on here of Palestine having temples for Jews or not is completely ridiculous!! Of course there are temples of the Jews, Churches for Christians n Mosques for Muslims, there are even other temples for other beliefs in Palestine .. Because Palestinians are divers. There are Palestinian Muslims, Christians, Jews, Agnostics, Druz, Atheists ...etc. Thats the beauty of Palestine .. It is a Nationality, a home land for all its people regardless of religion ..

I love you Palestine!!! LONG LIVE PALESTINE!!

[maaleadummim]

@belles1001nuits Ah, I see. Thanks! And in that case, the song can be sung by the Jews just as well.

[belles1001nuits]

@maaleadummim : She said "temples". It means the synagogues

Temples, churches and mosques
