Jerusalem of Gold -Yael Tamar Yerushalayim Shel Zahav Israel

- Lyrics here -

A video I made dedicated to Jerusalem. The explanation of the original song is in the beginning of the video and also a more detailed explanation from wikipedia is at the end of the lyrics

---------------

Verse 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.




Chorus:
Yerushalayim shel zahav
Veshel nechoshet veshel or
Halo lechol shirayich Ani kinor.
x2 Chorus:
Oh, Jerusalem of gold,
and of light and of bronze,
I am the lute for all your songs.
x2




Verse 2

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
Verse 2

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.




Chorus:
Yerushalayim shel zahav
Veshel nechoshet veshel or
Halo lechol shirayich Ani kinor.
x2 Chorus:
Oh, Jerusalem of gold,
and of light and of bronze,
I am the lute for all your songs.
x2




Verse 3

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. Verse 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.




Chorus:
Yerushalayim shel zahav
Veshel nechoshet veshel or
Halo lechol shirayich Ani kinor.
x2 Chorus:
Oh, Jerusalem of gold,
and of light and of bronze,
I am the lute for all your songs.
x2

Jerusalem of Gold" (Hebrew: ירושלים של זהב‎, Yerushalayim Shel Zahav) is a popular Israeli song written by Naomi Shemer in 1967. The original song described the Jewish people's 2000-year longing to return to Jerusalem; Shemer added a final verse after the Six-Day War to celebrate Jerusalem's unification under Jewish control.

you sound like a stupid retarded peice of shit. May Allah curse you. Jerusalem is For ISLAM ONLY AND WILL COME BACK TO ISLAM IN ALLAHS WILLING. Curse upon you disbievers, infadels, in hellfire may you rest there in it. Horrible dumb voise.

[usseryroad]

@amar13371 i hope allah will curse me because it seems it plants only hate in the hearts of those he loves. i hope you will calm down from your hate at some point in life because it's not healthy, causes lots of stress, increases the risk of heart attacks, strokes, etc. so be careful if you want to live a long healthy life

[amar13371]

ISRAHELL WILL FALL, ISLAM WILL ACHIEVE VICTORY I PROMISE U, ALLAH THE MOST HIGH THE MOST MERCIFUL, PROMISED US THAT AND IT WILL HAPPEN. ISLAM RELIGION FOREVER,

MAY ALLAH DESTROY JEWS, ISRAEL. THEY WILL GO DOWN. JERUSALEM IS FOR MUSLIMS. WE WILL TAKE BACK JERUSALEM AND KILL U IN ALLAHS WILLING. JUST WAIT AND SEE. ISLAM VICTORY ONLY ISLAM, FIND OUT THE TRUE RELIGION.

[Geraldohoppini]

Good job, nice clip.

But you may go a little slower and take small rests between some parts.

[exposuretv]

"Superb Channel! amazing song! have you heard the new tribute by Leah Chaye 'Jerusalem of Gold' in English, Hebew, Spanish and Arabic on exposuretv or leahchaye channel, God Bless you,"

[motorradguy]

[giggles32307]

@usseryroad beautiful song and you sang it well... great job!!!!

[giggles32307]

@amar13371 lol you are retarded ishmaeli... that land does not belong to you, btw learn how to spell im pretty sure that allah can teach you that... that land was promised to abraham then to his son issac and then to jacob... by no means was your people included so calm down you are only making a fool out of yourself... oh and i almost forgot by no means ever will a sane person follow allah, to turn out like you noooo thank you! you have serious issues...

[wsmernie]

@amar13371 that's rather a lot of meaningless cursing. You don't prove any point by constantly restating your 'opinion' in capitals, and there is not one single reason to believe that your predictions  (that bring lots of burning, despair and general unpleasantness to what you somehow call 'disbievers') will ever come true, so you might as well remain calm. Please cease this pointless effort to politicize conversation over a good rendition of a wonderful Israeli song.

[amar13371]

@usseryroad Lol in hellfire old dumb minded idiots. Your day is coming, and you hypocrites will regret it, Islam will achieve VITORY IN ALLAH'S WILLING AND JERUSALEM WILL COME BACK TO ISLAM. ISLAM IS THE ONLY RIGHT RELIGION WHETHER YOU LIKE IT OR NOT, EITHER TO HELLFIRE.
