paroles de chanson Jerusalem of Gold - Jonathan Settel

The olive trees that stand in silence,
Upon the hills of time
The shepherd pauses in the valley,
And bells of evening chime

The shofar sounding from the temple,
To call the world to prayer,
The shepherd pauses in the valley,
And peace is everywhere

Jerusalem, Jerusalem,
Forever young, forever old,
My heart will sing your songs of glory, Jerusalem
Yerushalayim shel zahav,
V'shell n'choset v'shel or
Halo l'chol shir ayich... Ani Kinor

The water well for those who thirsted,
The ancient market square
Your golden sun that lights the future,
For all men everywhere

How many songs how many stories,
The stony hills recall
Around her heart my city carries,
A lonely ancient wall

Yerushalayim shel zahav,
V'shell n'choset v'shel or
Halo l'chol shir ayich... Ani Kinor

And far away beyond the desert,
A thousand suns will glow
We will be going to the dead sea,
By way of Jericho

My simple voice can not acclaim thee,
Too weak the words I choose,
Jerusalem if I forget thee,
May my right hand its cunning lose!

Yerushalayim shel zahav,
V'shell n'choset v'shel or
Halo l'chol shir ayich... Ani Kinor
Yerushalayim shel zahav,
V'shell n'choset v'shel or
Halo l'chol shir ayich... Ani Kinor
(More Hebrew)
Blessed are you, God
Keeper of your word
Keeper of your people
Keeper of your city
Jerusalem
