Chorus


The air of the mountains is as clear as wine
And the fragrance of the pine trees
Is lifted upon the evening breeze
With the ringing of the bells

And in the deep sleep of the tree and the stone
Held captive in a dream
The city which sits alone
And in her heart, an acient wall

Jerusalem of gold
And of bronze and of light
For all of your songs
I am the harp

How the water cisterns have dried up
The city square is empty
Nobody goes up to the Temple Mount
In the old city

And in the caves of the rocks
Winds howl
And no one goes down to the Dead Sea
Upon the jericho road

Jerusalem of gold ...

Although I come to sing to you today
And to tie crowns upon you
I am less than the youngest of your sons
And the last of the sweet singers

For your name is burnins the lips
Like the kiss of the serpent
If I forget thee, oh Jerusalem
She is completely golden

Jerusalem of gold ...

We have returned to the water cisterns
To the marketplace and the square
A shofar calls out on the Temple Mount
In the old city

And in the caves in the rocks
A thousand suns shine forth
And again we will go down to the Dead Sea
Upon the jericho road

Jerusalem of gold ...
