希伯来文歌词

   YERUSHALAYIM SHEL ZAHAV

Avir harim tsalul k'yayin 
Vereiyach oranim 
Nissah beru'ach ha'arbayim 
Im kol pa'amonim. 

U'vtardemat ilan va'even 
Shvuyah bachalomah 
Ha'ir asher badad yoshevet 
Uvelibah - chomah.

Chorus: 
Yerushalayim shel zahav 
Veshel nechoshet veshel or 
Halo lechol shirayich Ani kinor. 

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

Yerushalayim shel zahav 
Veshel nechoshet veshel or 
Halo lechol shirayich Ani kinor. 

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.

Yerushalayim shel zahav 
Veshel nechoshet veshel or 
Halo lechol shirayich Ani kinor. 



英文歌词 JERUSALEM OF GOLD

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.

Oh, Jerusalem of gold, 
and of light and of bronze, 
I am the lute for all your songs. 

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.

Oh, Jerusalem of gold, 
and of light and of bronze, 
I am the lute for all your songs.

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.

Oh, Jerusalem of gold,
and of light and of bronze, 
I am the lute for all your songs.
