A capella: Jerusalem of Gold - Yerushalayim shel zahav

Only sound this time due to my sickening stage fright :)


Lyrics in English and Hebrew:

As clear as wine, the wind is flying
Among the dreamy pines
As evening light is slowly dying
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

Back to the wells and to the fountains
Within the ancient walls
The sound of horn from Temples 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

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 ...

Avir harim tzalul kayayin
Vereiach oranim,
Nisa beru'ach ha'arbayim
Im kol pa'amonim

Uvetardemat ilan va'even
Shvuyah bachalomah,
Ha'ir asher badad yoshevet
Uvelibah chomah

Yerushalayim shel zahav
Veshel nechoshet veshel or
Halo lechol shirayich ani kinor

Chazarnu el borot hamayim
Lashuk velakikar,
Shofar kore behar habayit
ba'ir ha'atikah.

Uvame'arot asher baselah
Alfei shmashot zorchot,
Nashuv nered el yam hamelach
Bederech Yericho!

Yerushalayim shel zahav
Veshel nechoshet veshel or
Halo lechol shirayich ani kinor

Ach bevo'i hayom lashir lach
Velach lik'shor k'tarim,
Katonti mitze'ir bana'ich
Ume'acharon ham'shorerim.

Ki shmech tzorev et hasfatayim
Keneshikat saraf ,
Im eshkachech Yerushalayim
Asher kulah zahav

Yerushalayim shel zahav
Veshel nechoshet veshel or
Halo lechol shirayich ani kinor
